Define "good."
And that is why...
Conservatives' pessimism is conducive to their happiness in three ways. First, they are rarely surprised -- they are right more often than not about the course of events. Second, when they are wrong they are happy to be so. Third, because pessimistic conservatives put not their faith in princes -- government -- they accept that happiness is a function of fending for oneself. They believe that happiness is an activity -- it is inseparable from the pursuit of happiness.
Define "good."
WELL IT KEEP ME EMTERTAINED. IS IT FUN OR BORING. HOW CAN SHIPS BE UPGRADED...HOW OS PVP....CAN YOU BUY ALLOT OF SHIPS
so if i like eve...will i like this...

Very doubtful. Whatever you do don't shell out money to buy it without getting a buddy key and testing it out for free first.

What are the differences in PvP? Or is it the economy or other areas where the games are different?
I have a question:
If you like EvE - why are you looking for another game exactly the same as EvE to play?
There is a ton of stuff written on both games - I have never played EvE (yet - will do "soon" though) and yet I had no trouble finding out all about it and how it plays.
Ultimately though - the only way to know if you like a game is to play it yourself.
There is a buddy key request thread in this forum AND (IIRC) there is a free trial coming up?
Nothing says irony like spelling ideot wrong.
i own potbs, although im not currently subscribed because i decided my pc just can't handle it as smoothly as i'd like it too. The game is really fun, the first time you go port flipping you will begin to love this game. Theres nothing better than seeing 100+ ships sail past you on there way to overthrow a port. I did a few port raids in my 2 months of playing and it was a blast. The gfx are amazing, and it requires a decent computer to run, im running a not so decent P4 3gz, 2gig ram, and a x1650 pro ati which can't handle this game on the OS. I have owned EvE also, I wouldn't say its exactly like eve but there are some similarities. The devs have been hard at work on this game and they just keep adding more things and balancing classes. Its a great game and its definitly worth a try.
I found these system spec recommendations for AoC:
OS: Windows Vista/XP
Processor: 3GHz Pentium IV
RAM: 1GB RAM
Video Card: Shader Model 2.0 and 128MB RAM: NVIDIA GeForce 5800 or ATI 9800
Recommended
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz (E6600) or better
Vdeo Card: NVIDIA GeForce 7950GX2 or better
RAM: 2GB or more
Enhanced for: DirectX 10, 64-bit processors, multi-core
PotBS is:
Minimum Machine Spec:
Recommended Machine Spec:
4 GB Hard Drive space
So it looks to me like PotBS should run BETTER than AoC on your system?
or did I read that wrong?

No, this game isnt like eve and if you like eve you wont like this, I was hoping it was going to be eve with Pirates I was wrong, then I hoped it would at leaset be WoW with Pirates I was wrong too, its neither, doesnt do anything right be it pve or pvp.
wow that bad
funny u say that because my system can't run aoc. i actually made a post this morning in the aoc forum about that, i think i titled it hard specs. i cant play aoc in window without crashing.
No not that bad - it does have a great economy, there is more work to get things balanced but still has lots of potential to be popular.
