Well ummm, to join KD or not. Current and Last OGP Landbattle Champion title i'll forever have, and plan on being the first Papaya Landbattle Champ :D I would love to help lead and teach a new pirate comp, but i don't know what i can tolerate dub lol. If not, can't wait to see peeps on the deck of their ship again :D
Am In .. The Old Infamous Co Helped Me Alot And After Only 2 Weeks Of Playing My 2 Toons Unlocked Nanban And I Was Sitting On 600 Million Ducats , Don't Think It Will Be The Same This Time But Am In Cuz Wiping My 2 Weeks Of Playing Is Not a Big Deal To Me .. So Midox Is Going To Be Infamous Always And Forever , But I Think Pirates Will Have a Hard Time At The 1st Month , So You Should Make 1 Month For Members To Develop Their Characters And Get Some Money And The 2nd Month To Grind Maritime Skills And Defect To Otto. In My Opinion
BTW Thank You For Not Quitting The Game , Too Bad Nettie Quit
I'm interested in piracy, in OGP I used to be a cannoneer because I kinda liked the fact that I was going to protect my friends (They all were merchants) but since this times it seems I'll be alone, I'd rather try something different.
If you're willing to help (Be advise with ships, equip, skills and such, specially to defect to Ottoman), then I'm up to be a pirate.
Yea i agree with dub, me and him prolly only otto players for a long time lol. I plan on going otto just as soon as i get my aide with the skill. On the colony part. I'd suggest not everyone start their own company. For starters i'd say 1 or 2 per nation will be enuff. instead of having 25 companies with 2 peeps, would be smarter having 2 compaines with 25 peeps. I don't plan on starting my own company, i wil join the one that's in seville and has pirates.
The Best advantage to being otto is the fact that i'm an Otto privateer so i can't attack u :D Also as otto you can always play on either teams in BC which is good for balancing teams. And Otto's are in every ESF attached to the attacking nation. But u get a % loss from selling goods as otto not sure excatly how much.
I'm interested, as a former cannoneer who used to protect their friends from pirates (Or tried to), I want to try something different this time.
If you can help me with tips and such, specially how to defect to Ottoman in that month time, I believe I can help. I used to have a merchant alt in OGP who was almost all crafting jobs at R10 and more, with the exception of Sewing which was R8.
You will need an Aide with the skill "Ottoman Correspondence", then u must talk to the otto npcs every 10days ur sail, for like 19 hours, and that's with 100 lookout trait. can take lots longer if ur lookout trait on that aide is low. You can't defect "down" to otto, cause they are always at the top. The those pay items, that defect u don't work. Also u have to correspond with otto to a higher level than the other nations. But u get quicker canals, never need disguise to enter any towns, can join both sides of BC no matter who's fighting, and ur in EVERY esf sided with the attacking nation. Also since it's the hardest to chance into, and you get less from trades as ottoman, most aren't ottoman. So you can be a privateer, and still have lots of prey. That way you dont lose ur fame.
Certain aides with the correspondence ability will help you develop friendlier relations with the nation you which to defect to, and in this case Pieratthe needs an aide who has the Ottoman correspondence which allows you to try and successfully talk with npc fleets once every 10 mins or 10 sailing days.
I am sure the experienced pirates from the older pre-wipe server will help you Aceman, plus we will all be focusing on rebuilding the game economy so the actual pirating will probably not happen for awhile anyways until most of Europe is settled and beginning to develop and we start branching out to the Hostile water ports.
I have wondered about it before and did have swordplay upto r7 and sword mastery upto r5 encase I was DB on sea but I was also working on ballistics and accuracy and plunder and was working towards getting reload before the closing on UWO and I was using sewing to make better sails as I went along just kind of boring grinding mari alone :D
and i use charlotte as 2nd aide cause u get otto correspondence, and also u can send to navy and get obstruction off her to add to ecbar and other aides.
Heys @Killadubs and all you potential pirate players. I just wanted to leave a little note here for you guys that I will be building my Bounty Hunter Company Black Water in Seville as well. While the thought of piracy is attractive to many players I'm hoping that some changes to pirating and the bounty hunter systems will make both enterprises more attractive.
With these changes will come changes in the responsibilities of pirate and Bh players and the way the world views them. Most of us veteran players are doing our part to get an early start bringing our world back to life. Everything will certainly not go as we plan but hopefully between all of us we can make it fun and worthwhile. :)

Doesn’t sound easy to do.
Do you recommend any aides for pirating?
