What's next for the Court?
The 9th Brethren Court under its King, Richard Cannonwalker, will continue on its in own role-play community; that is, a community separate from the existing so-called 'Country Role-Play' community. It is with great reluctance and toiled consideration, though ultimately a long overdue feeling of necessity, that we part from the community so many of us have called home for years. As such, we bear no ill will towards any individuals or factions in the community, nor with the community as a whole.

Our primary motivation is simple. It is the collective opinion held by those of the Court that the so-called system of 'Country Role-Play' deters any true enjoyment that can be experienced on The Legend of Pirates Online. Through petty conflicts over non-existent land, to the excessive use of virtual titles, and the never-ending drama that results from such actions, one can not truly enjoy the game we so loved from our childhood (and are lucky enough to enjoy again now) when faced with such unnecessary distractions.

But even still we realise the value and amusement that results from role-play. As such, we have decided to retain the 9th Brethren Court and will launch — what we hope to be — a new, straightfoward, accessible, and enjoyable form of role-play reminiscent of role-play from the days of old; a system that is reliant almost exclusively on the game and the in-game experience, with lesser stress on the political minutiae that has come to plague our current community.

Our one and true goal is to enjoy the game we have been privileged enough to enjoy once more. Our role-play will be simple and trouble-free and our community welcoming to all who wish to take part.
