The issue:
As it stands, the server is using 3.0 Fishing, which is when XLGames decided to limit the number of fishes per school rather than keep it timer-based. It completely changed the way fishing happened: rather than having massive raids going to a fishing school that lasted 45 minutes, people tended to make very small groups of 1-4 people who went to a single school. It was sad.
The Solution:
We should bring it back to how it was during the Classic years of AA, when schools of fishes attracted entire raids of fishermen as they'd last for 45 minutes and had no limits to the number of fishes. It was a true wondrous sight to see 77 BRs on a single school, hugging on 21 rickety fishing boats, throwing their little fishing lines. We need that back. It provided the best entertainment for pirates of any kind, but was also the safest way for fishermen to fish because of the herd system: if two lions come to hunt 100 gazelles, most of the gazelles survive.
