    • Sunk! Some kind of error with my SOE Station Account. I was an ex-Everquest 1 & 2 player for years, used the station name and password and no dice. Customer Support and hours of trying different things didn't work. Uninstall and glad I'd cancelled my EQ accounts before.

    • Another game where beta testers are ignored when they warn about things that will be trouble at release, like the huge population imbalance. Definite waste of money, game is fading fast, and is down to ONE functional server.

    • Very boring after the first month. Highly repetative in content and scenery. Horrible and poorly concieved economy. RvR in constant flux and imbalance.

    • This game needs to be the EQ2 of Pirate Games! DEVS HEAR ME! BRING ON YOUR EQ2 DEV FROM SOE AND RELAUNCH! YOU WILL HAVE A WINNER IF YOU DO!!

    • Just don't play this game. I know In-game mini games that have more content that the entire PotBS game.

    • Pirates of the Burning Sea was a fantastic experience, even in beta. Since then, I have enjoyed everything PotBS has to offer. Along with the outstanding use of graphical design and detail used by the friendly, creative company, Flying Labs Software, the brilliant use of the entire history setting really pops this game to a high point in my list. Pirates of the Burning Sea also features one of my favorite communities in the MMO world, with nice people anywhere you meet them. Unlike many games, Flying Labs really keeps their players updated and having fun, and the customer service is purely satisfying. As far as Roleplay value goes in PotBS, you will find yourself as your character set in 1720 without even stopping to think about it, and the game's perfect music really touches your spirit back in time. Pirates of the Burning Sea also features many different features that most MMOs do not even have... such as ship to ship combat full on with grappling and hijaking other boats (and what do you people mean there's no PvP?), intriguing commerce and factory system, port defence (some are even like Tabula Rasa's Control Points!)...etc etc. NPC chatting is very realistic as well, as when they talk to you or each other, their mouths actually (realistic) move along to what they are saying (so if two French NPCs are talking to each other about the Spanish, they will actually have great accents with matching lip movements). Along with all of this, you have a fun-loving world where you can choose to be any of the four major factions of the Carribean in the 1720s, along with a very fun and new approach to skills and classes. Compared to most Pirate MMOs, you do feel very free in PotBS. All of the ports were very precise on detail and level of fun, as the "open sea" is VERY VERY large (the entire Gulf of Mexico and the Carribean and land around it)!! And with that, Flying Labs definately gives the MMO community what they what in this game! Pirates of the Burning Sea is definately different, and by that I mean that you absolutely MUST check it out!!

    • The game sucks for a few reasons: the combat is boring, there's no PvP, PvE has no content, there's no point on getting a game like this when can play Pirates of the Caribean online and get the same results

    • The ships look great. The combat is horrible...the pvp is a gankfest. I think Auto Assault was better.
  • felore(posted Fri Jun 06 2008)
    • Logging on only to find yourself having lost a few levels plus a lot of money and loot is a huge pain with this MMO. To make things worse you have to backtrack and redo quest. The Devs dont have a clue how to fix. Still in Beta Phase. I do like this game but this bug is very annoying. Community is non existant on the side I play on...only got a rude person to talk back to me once...and lots of gold seller spam.
