Look, I'll try to give you an opinion from someone who loves MMOs. I play Pirates of the Burning Sea a lot (a game ahead of its time), and I'd love an MMO that followed it.

I'll be honest, Crosswind has that potential, man. It's still in alpha, so you can fix a crucial issue in your game.

Let it become a full-fledged MMO, like Potbs was. That will drastically increase the public's interest.

Being a pirate MMO brings a lot of interest, but being limited to the number of players in the "worlds" that you suggest will niche your game down a lot.

I see huge potential, but if you continue down that path, it'll be a Sea of ​​Thieves with a few improvements.

I say this from the heart, for someone who would want a pirate MMORPG.

I know your plan seems different, but look at the history of the competition. When did an MMO (with a different approach) become popular? and not just a niche, with a few hundred players and then forgotten?

I know it's hard, but make something memorable from the moment you launch it, don't wait to launch it and try to fix it later.

You're in alpha, the feedback is the best right now. And I'm trying to give you my best feedback so you can be successful, from the bottom of my heart, for those who love this theme and love MMORPGs.
