Name Approval Among Other Things

[Sir Upticious]

A while back I created a new test pirate. I typed in a name and the
game randomly assigned him the name "Freebooter" until his name
is approved.

Some time has passed. Freebooter is now level 29 with enough gold
to buy a war galleon. Last week he started a guild. The game
randomly assigned him a guild number until its name is approved.

I still encounter the same old problems, the soldiers and skeletons
that fall through the floor, the auto-miss of shots at the bounty
hunter ships, the sticky long range grenade throwing problems,
the annoyance of rare items won at sea not showing up in my
inventory, and numerous other bugs and glitches that have been
reported on numerous occasions.

Today when I logged in he was still Freebooter in Guild xxxxx.

I even scanned down to the last feedback address and sent a
"bug report." I got no reply e-mail.

We haven't had a test update since April. Are they doing anything?
Is anybody even there to see our messages when we post them
via the options menu? Has test become a black hole?
