About Time I Asked

I have questions. What is with all the random fires? What is with the staff whining? What is with Abassa server?

I'll edit if I have more.

glitches, glitches, and more glitches, about the best explaination I can offer.

It cracks me up when I see fire on the beach or a spot on the floor or a table. I just think its funny to see. Kinda freaked me out the first time I saw it. lol

The fire sprites was an issue months ago - then was fixed for the longest time... of course this latest update seems to be a step backward in many areas including the 'random fires' LOL :D

I wonder if they had firefighters back then???

Well, if you look at the Wikipedia article (which we all know to be a bastion of truth)

Manual pumps, rediscovered in Europe after 1500 (allegedly used in Augsburg in 1518 and in Nuremberg in 1657), were only force pumps and had a very short range due to the lack of hoses. German inventor Hans Hautsh improved the manual pump by creating the first suction and force pump and adding some flexible hoses to the pump. In 1672, Dutch inventor Jan Van der Heyden invented the fire hose. Constructed of flexible leather and coupled every 50 feet (15 m) with brass fittings, the length and connections remain the standard to this day. The fire engine was further developed by Richard Newsham of London in 1725. Pulled as a cart to the fire, these manual pumps were manned by teams of men and could deliver up to 160 gallons per minute (12 L/s) at up to 120 feet (40 m).

So, yes. They had firefighters back then, and by the early 1700's, they even had fire brigades with rudimentary fire engines!

Right now I think we desperatly need firefighters lol

In Europe yes ...

In the Caribbean ... I seriously doubt they had anything more organized than a "bucket brigade" ... in Port Royal ... maybe ... and in Tortuga ... nothing ...

And where in the Caribbean, including Tortuga, did they have ghost-like cannonballs, or the ability to shoot lightning from ship to ship?

I fear the Caribbean universe we enjoy so much does not hinge upon the trivialities of reality......

I know a while back when you glitched a ship to go through a Island, you could shoot up Tortuga, Port Royal etc. Using Fire cannon balls then would make these random fires a lot.

With that being such a high glitch server, probably what someone is doing to lag out the Island during the events? Be my guess.
