Hi all,
Hope this is the right section.
A friend and I recently discovered this game through our mutual interest in pirating games, and we both really liked the 'vanilla' feel the game has; we're looking to stick around.
However, we had a couple of burning questions:
1. At peak times, what's the typical player count? We played for around 2 hours last night but only ran into a handful of people (offpeak time). We're not massively bothered by this because we had fun fighting the AI in our ships, but it's always better to have more people around.
1A. Is the player base growing or diminishing?
2. Secondly, and this is oddly specific, but we're both massive fans of poker and have played for well over a decade together, so the combination of our love for pirating games and poker kind of goes hand-in-hand. After our first hour, we jumped into the parlour games and sat on a table playing poker together - there's something oddly satisfying about earning your money in the game and then losing it all through poker...
Were the people we were sat with likely AI? It stated that the only nearby player was my friend. If so, do many people use the parlour games, or is the game just not booming enough to pull the player count for it?
Cheers!
