Although I agree that it is simple to use and understand, and that a lack of playerbase is a strong factor, I still feel the same ends could be acheived much more fluidly through re-implementation of the party flag and /sea functions. In the creation of a really effective party setup, you would want particular jobs to fill particular roles; and setting/re-setting the search parameters every 60min. would get really exhausting with this in mind.

Additionally, I remember some parties continuing hours after I'd disbanded and found someone to replace me. It seems like, with the current situation, that the parameters would constantly need re-settting and, with a larger playerbase, people would constantly be told "No, we're full." which doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

I really miss the individual party notes (seacom) you could apply to notify the leader what you were seeking beforehand, as well as being able to use the translator within it.
