I've just lost interest in this website. You all are wonderful. Thanks for the wonderful memories and hours of friendship.
I doubt I'll be posting here much anymore. |

I can't imagine why anyone would lose interest now. Two years ago maybe but now the women look hotter, the cities are getting harder to sack, the taverns look better, the paintings are worth wall hanging, I could go on and on but it's your choice and gooid luck to whereever you decide to anchor. |

Interest comes and goes, I know about that. I got busy playing all the Age of Empires games and spinoffs - Age of Empires 2 and two or three expansions to it, then Age of Empires 3 and 3 more expansions. Also, the Age of Mythology. I disappeared from this web site for months and even for a year and a half at one point. I returned here in earnest back in Dec 2014. I recall I had about 450 posts at that time and was Number 34 on the all time list. |

I myself moved recently and have been gone for three months. I am finding my way back and with a ship full of plunder to boot! Fair winds, mate! _________________ The Code is the Law. |

Yes, interests come and go - we cannot really change that, since we are all human beings. The main thing is that we have had some fun while we've been here.
I plan to revisit the game again after a long break one of these days, but haven't really got around to it. The best thing would be a decent remake, expanding upon the premise and making it more of a modern sandbox type game. _________________ It is much better to be armed with a sword that has two edges than with an estoc [...], which is nothing more than a stick with a point.

I have always said that they should take the fleet mechanic, map size/locations, and ship types/diversity from SMP and the sailing mechanic (plus wind) and fighting mechanic of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. THAT would be the ultimate pirate game! _________________ The Code is the Law. |

I would certainly love to see an update to the game. New maps and characters along with new.missions would.be great. |

I think I'll just update my own rather than waiting for something that may never happen. I would be happy though if the ship sailing was more realistic. Most everything else is better than other pirate games I tried. I do like Sea Dogs too since it's easy to mod and the ships are much better. |

He reportedly died in battle against the Romans in 71 BC. |

Where is Sparticus then?
Is there any way to communicate with the old forum members of the main Hooked Gamers site? |

I'd like to see the game ported over to the Android and iOS with graphical updates. There's already an iOS version if I am not mistaken. |
