Our Progress Thus Far...

Hello everyone!
Well, it has been an interesting couple of weeks, hasn't it? UWO has been quite the busy place. Not as busy as NM days maybe, but still it's nice to see it bustling with activity.
I know there are still many complaints from people, and I understand that. Here though, I'd like to focus more on what we have accomplished so far in the game. I would prefer to keep this on a positive tone please! There are plenty of topics elsewhere about all the complaints. So, for me personally, I'm not as far along as I'd like to be, but that's mostly due to the fact that I don't have as much free time to play the game as I did some 7 yrs ago lol.
So here's what I've done in the last couple of weeks:
* Finished all 3 Trade schools (Yay!)
* Finished 1st & 2nd Battle schools (I hate sea battles with a blood passion!)
* Haven't even started Adventure School at all yet! (Shame on me, really!)
* Been focusing on grinding Cooking skill, currently at r7+1 (yay, but wish it was higher lol)
* Been working on the Portu Storyline, though not as much as I should. I'm on Chapter 8 lol
* Been trying to remember to continue working on Oxford stuff (I forget this often!)
* My lvls are currently 11/23/7 or something like that, can't remember off the top of my head lol.
* Have seen some old friends, and REALLY old friends from NM days.
* Have made some new friends. People are funny, creepy, crazy but all kinds of fun!
So, as you can see, I haven't done nearly as much as many other people have done lol. I get distracted easily and like I said, I don't get as much free time to play as I'd like to, so I really should be a little more organized about what game time I do have lol.
Things I'd like to get at least started in the next couple of weeks:
* Unlock India (No, I haven't unlocked India yet, shush!)
* Start grinding handycrafts
* Consider joining a company (I've stayed away from that for now, but I know eventually I will join one lol)
So, that's me for that last two weeks and the next two weeks. How about you? How far have you come along in the last two weeks?
Safe and fun sailing to everyone!

Managed to get 40/52/10
Completed Adventure, Merchant schools
GOt rank 7 Cooking, Handi,
Unlocked all permits available to me and done about 150+ IQs. :P
Well, my turn...
First of all, it sometimes hurts me too to see that I cannot hold up with some of you guys since I have the knowledge but no longer the time to play intensively. I became a young father recently and beside an already busy life, it eats tons of time of mine... But the love for my little baby girl is waaaay to big tough!
I have 2 toons now, both finished all 3 final schools: lvls: 21-21-17 and 21-17-21
Atm I have started charting to eventually unlock St. Peters. to get Aide Sarah.
I have achieved Lower 8th knight and have 6 port permits unlocked.
I have joined a company in London (RoyalNavy) with most of my elder company members. But it is not the original Royal_Navy from NM era. For now we are going to stick with them.
As soon as I feel ready for it (and when I find the time to do so) I will start sailing towards Caribs and Asia for some decent trade-runs and helping the comp to collect contributions.
28/42/31
finished 3 trade schools
finished 3 battle schools
finished 2 adventure schools
opened south America
i was focusing on crafting:
casting - 14 refined
handi - 10
cooking - 10 + 1
sb - 7 + 1
sewing is going to be next
My Spaniard is at 16/15/4, and mostly focusing on adventure, with handicrafts (r4) and casting (r0) for production skills. I'd forgotten how much of an earning power advantage the Dutch have with sewing: a level in sewing earned me 100-200k, I think, whereas a level in handicrafts is earning me about 20-30k. That'll change as my levels go up, but it does make starting out rough. I'm planning on focusing almost exclusively on Adventure with this one, though, so I'm going to have to get used to being poor. 8-) I'm also considering a run to Diego Garcia despite not even having the West Africa permits. I'm not convinced I could do it without being caught by pirates, though, so maybe not.
I've basically been ignoring the national quests so far, planning to finish at least two schools before I bother with them. It doesn't seem to be affecting much other than what port permits I have.
mankind never learns...
Finished all but advanced trade and maritime schools, but I'm going back
Restarted my company, which is now full at 50/50
Started our colony
Got permits through East Coast Latin America
Sitting at 36/20/12
grinding Theo for the AoS quest to use them on IQ's for SEA for Portugal
Taking my time, in no big hurry, took me 4 years last time, gonna give myself a little time to enjoy the ride this time.
