Maybe you just fail to understand the whole Level thing Raelyn. Levels in general are not required to advance in rank, we base them off of skill not the level of the Character. But many Kingdoms will not recruit a player until they have reached level 6 or 8. In Pirates there are 2 types of crews in the Pirate Navy. Captains are now overseeing the crews of the lower level or younger ranked Pirates and Corsairs command the higher more experienced crews. Sadly most people do not understand experience or like to hear they are inexperienced so we put a Minimum level requirement on the crews of the Corsairs, that being level 15. By the time a player reaches the 15th level, they should, but not always have a grasp of the game. But being fair we do not wish to set the bar to high and run people off. The current ranking system and promotions have gone quite well and everyone seems happy. Though I invite anyone that is unhappy about promotions being based on skill over levels to speak up. Im always open to new ideas.
