But because SOME IDIOT came up with the PEACHY idea of not letting people use PM's till post 150 or so, bullshit like this cannot be privately contained between an expert and a moron. So, blame the utter repetance and stupidity of this idea on the fool who came up with the rule.
Now, Privateer is a damn good game; no doubt about that.
However, making it a MMORPG has been a want by people, and each time it's been shot out of the sky.
Now, the idea is, why not make it a bit more like Raganork Online, and a few other Multi-player RPGs? Diffrent servers for people to chose from, with each world the same. Make it normally single player, and one can import character's from their old single player games into the servers (Ala Baldur's Gate & Icewind Dale).
Update the graphics (Maybe.). Add a few weapons, add cloak, update armor, sheild and weapon strength.
Update Confed, Border Worlds, and Kilrathi fighters. Make the Kilrathi less billigerent. Make it more realistic that if you were attacked by Confed and Pirates, they would most likely take each other out.
Maybe once-a-run cloaking? Take out the Dragon's, though-Too powerful.
Add a few ships, keep a few ships, make ajustments.
You could have a pretty decent game.
Add a sub-plot, if you wish.
Limit the server size to about 200 players; The Gemeni system IS huge.
Not that hard.
