This game is disastrous, mainly because this game is doomed to stay in
dev. By the time it's released, it will be overshadowed, out-of-date and
forgotten. I have anticipated this game since I joined this site. Now
its time to just let go.
i play on australian servers because racism is acceptable there

That was great reasoning you gave Gargantroo...
(im using sarcasm if you missed it
)
Agreed, As much as I would totally be all over this game if it was released, with the competition the way it is and the amount of money it will cost to develop it to a mass audience for commercial success I just dont see happening. In spite of that I hope the publishers prove me 100% wrong!
This game was up-to-date about a year ago, maybe 2. I remember thinking it was a fresh idea and great graphics etc. However, its been in dev for forever, and we hardly get any info. By the time it is released, it will be out-of-date.
I have to disagree... Look at EQ2... took 5 years to develop... 5 years!!!!! I am SO excited for POTBS
who gives a rats ass if the graphics arent orgasmic when it comes out.As long as its fun and something differents form the others Ill try it.
Oh doody...I have been hoping for this one. Im sooo sick of *ucking fantasy MMOs....
"Despite what they tell you the original RAY's is on 7th ave."
yup, who cares. idk about graphics its all gameplay. besides fancy graphics cant hide shitty gameplay.
The original poster is talking out his ass. If he bothered to check the latest 'updated' website and official forums he would see just how far this game has come and just how close they are to beta. He probably doesn't even realize that mmorpg.com gave that game Best of Show for graphics at E3. It has, in my opinion, the best graphics I've seen in any mmorpg to date. And yet you say they'll be out-dated??? Where exactly do you get this stuff?
Patience, patience everyone. By the the it's release I'm sure it is all worth it.
live and let live
I agree.
But some would say, kill or be killed.
As a community we need to offer more support for titles like PoBS and other indie developers that are trying to offer something as bit different from the tried and tested corporate clone-fest. Other games such as AtitD and Roma Victor are also notably independent and trying to innovate where the corporates are just printing money and laughing all the way to the bank.
Graphics aren't everything, whereas gameplay is - stick with this title it takes a long time to build a virtual world and the graphics I've seen for this title are fine.
I look forward to this title - whenever it's released.

There are few games pushing the boundaries. In fact, most of them are a step back.
Given that, I don't understand how POTBS can be 'out of date'.
I really hope that they release the game. I'd like to try it just once as it looks like a neat game to try.
I'm also glad that they are taking the time develop the game properly. The market is already full of mmorpg's that were rushed to the public and it shows. Graphics mean nothing if the bugs, lack of content, and poor balancing destroy the gameplay.
While they have not given out as much information as I would like about the game, the devs have revealed a lot about the game design and story in the official site's dev diaries and the forums. THey really have put a LOT of time into getting all of the details right to ensure that the game is accurate, balanced, and fun. Of course, as always, time will tell; and hopefully when this game hits the market it will be as much fun as I am hoping for it to be. I mean, come on, its a PIRATE game...who can resist that!
In response to the original post, because I am way too tired to read everything after being up all night. Plenty of games stay in development for much longer than this game has been. Look at Roma Victor announced in what 2001, has it been canceled? Same goes for Dark and Light and a slew of other MMORPG's that were in development for 5 years or more that are now on the shelf. The only difference is they do not have a big name financial backing like sony, so they are by all means doomed to fail right? Heck no, what that means is they can hire who they want to actually get the job done, they can have a much greater say on when the game actually gets released, and eventually they will pay of all their investors and be able to market the game as they see fit. Give them time to get it done, do you want another Anarchy Online release or SWG ? Since the initial concept of the game they have added avatars, something not scheduled until a later expansion, it's not just going to be ship to ship conbat anymore. Plus from what I have read the mission system being developed is somewhat original for those who dont want to be bad ol pirates. So I will keep waiting for release like a true mmorpg fan.
WoW was in development for 6 years. That means the concept of the game started in 1999. But we didnt hear anything. The point I'm trying to make is that this game couldve been in development for alot longer than it was announced. I've been waiting FOREVER for POTBS to come out and then I just gave up because we hardly got any information on it's release.
SONY sucks btw so does SWG i played it until they pushed the CU and ruined the game BUgs all over the place. Gameplay nothing worth than SWG...I hate SONY don'[t compare anyother company with Sony everything is better, even IRAQ and dipperheads suck so you make the math
It definitely won't break my heart to never see this game released. There are far more games out there that are worth playing than this one. I say let it die.
