Hi there pirates!

It's update time again. We've got a few things for you all this week. The long awaited player reporting feature has been added. Pirates aren't the kindest souls, let's admit. But even pirates agree on certain lines that shouldn't be crossed. Spoiling the fun for others or spouting extreme profanity should not go unpunished. And thus, we will from now on review your reports and take actions accordingly to keep the seas as adventurous and fun as possible for everyone sailing on them. Actions may range from warnings all the way to server bans depending on the gravity of the offense.

Next to that we've got some new teleport effects, some more status icons and a brigantine buff!
