Senior Players

[Jack Shipsteel]

The "Recognition" here is something that doesn't need to be listed as plain as plain can be. Yes, Founders have the Founder sign. Yes, GMs have the Game Master sign, so in many eyes, why can't the veterans have it?

Because Senior players don't need a sign to explain that they've played the game for a few years. Those who have played the game longer than others will know more than those who just recently started. They have been in events others haven't, they have been in and seen guilds others haven't, and they just know the game better.

I have played the game for just over a year now, but I've had an account since January of 2008. I remember the old Port Royal and old Tortuga as clear as the new ones. I remember that Port Royal and Fort Charles used to just be in the same place, no doors to pass through, just as easy as passing over a bridge and walking a little bit. Many don't. Ask a random player on the streets of Padres whether they liked the old Port Royal, and 7 out of 10 times the response will be, "Old Port Royal?"

Having recognition for being an oldie could be nice, but it's unessecary. We don't need a title next to our names in order for people to recognize us. We know how long we've played, we know all the old glitches. We, in our own minds, know we have played long.



And of course, you'd have to explain why you have a silver "S" next to your name to any new pirate.
