The Ship is and will always be, one of my favorite games. The problem is that it's dependent on people actually playing, or it's no fun. At the beginning there were servers people actually played in, but it has to be dead now.
The same developers made another game not long ago (year or two ago) that was the same premise but set on a beach type of theme, it wasn't as fun, because the "ships" environment was perfect for this type of game.
