I have a map and am out of sails too because i was able to steal 3 maps (2 right and 1 left) before i remembered to claim.

Now here's the lesson to everyone on every server.
There are lot of people complaining about how hard it is to cross in pirates.
ALot of people are complaining of the lack of real challenges in this game
Alot of people are complaining that theres not much to do cross realm wise
alot of people are complaining about the lack of strategy needed to do most things
alot of people are complaining about how boring the game is getting

So lets see. This "blockade" combined with the lack of one side of a map on a server everyday has answered all those issues.4

This is more challenging. This requires more coordination within a guild. This also allows for coordination between guilds. This gives you something to actually do when your bored. This has made making a competed sail ALOT easier.
Now stop complaining and go play pirates teh new and improved much more fun filled and challenging way.
