You know what this game is? Did you have a Commodore 64? Do you remember one of the greatest gaming experinces ever in a Title called Pirates?
For those of you who enjoyed that game, 30+ Crowd (Atleast).
POTBS is a Modern Day version of that using today's technology and made it Multiplayer.
It is not for the Power Gamer or the Hard Core RP'er but it is awesome.
Look forward to seeing you all in Beta. It is not a tradiotional MMO. It falls more along the lines of Guild Wars, LOTRO than it does the Ultima's and SWG's.
Honestly, for the life of me I can't understand anyone who is flaming this game. I cannot understand what more you could have possibly wanted or expected?

Agree.
We was taking turns playing it on C64 had a timer on and gave eachother 1 or 2 hours to play before we switched. Now... we won't need the timer anymore and we also could have gotten a chanse to play together simultaniously and in the same world.
Note: The first release to Amiga was actually exactly the same game, but maybe the age wouldn't differ that much.
I'm so broke. I can't even pay attention.

Woohoo on the C64, lame as an mmorpg. Maybe we expected less then, but I still remember Pirates as one of my all time fav's on that system. Bring back the fun please. I'm not saying Pirate's can't work as an mmorpg, just that the current concept in Potbs leaves me wishing for a C64?
Was that Sid Meier's Pirates! ?
Nothing says irony like spelling ideot wrong.
I had a C64 when I was a kid, and owned this game. It was pretty sweet.
Think it was released by Microprose. I remember having to answer questions about treasure locations or something of the like. Swordfighting was pretty cool too.
Actually, the really sick thing is that (if my memory hasn't been corrupted) the sword fighting was actually more interesting, and the ship fighting was more tactical from the manuevering aspect. Also management of the ships was interesting. You had to hire crew, pay them, feed them, and offer them action. If they got bored they mutineed and set you adrift in a raft (no sh**). The quests were mostly explorer or find the bad guy with the map.....ah, the good old days....nooo, I'm getting too old and jaded.
