Yar Maties and shiver me timbers as Carolyn Koh files this report from E3 on Flying Lab Software's Pirates of the Burning Sea. There were more people crowded around the Pirates of the Burning Sea (PotBS) station both in SoE's appointment hotel area and the station in Barker Hanger than any of their other games. That being that case, I stood back and spent some quality time with Jess Lebow, Content Director & CEO Russ Williams rather than get some hands-on play with five other people breathing down my neck. We talked of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings. I am not being cryptic, but that describes of how our conversation jumped around, topics segueing to others sometimes, and sometimes jumping around as the demo on the screen changed. Pirates of the Burning Sea looked fine. The developers were especially proud to show how well the UI had been tweaked and polished. The graphical wind direction representation on screen as well as the sectional circle around the ship allows the player to take in all of the information he needs right there in the middle of the screen. Read the whole article here. Cheers, Jon Wood Managing Editor MMORPG.com

Such high hopes for this game - though it's not exactly what I wanted it should be SO refreshing. Wish I were in beta... Why do I write, create, fantasize, dream and daydream about other worlds? Because I hate what humanity does with this one. BOYCOTTING EA / ORIGIN going forward. Sorry TSW.

Think about it for a while.	7/23/07 2:57:46 PM#6 Report this post Explain why you are reporting this post: (750 characters max.) Seems like they are doing their job and doing it good. So much polish on an mmo is great. I also want to know why is fall so far away? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ =The best bash.org quote ever= Curt teh Juggler: our graduation ceremony was today, and right when some gamer nerd got his diploma, someone in the audience played the zelda "get item" music and he did the zelda spin-hold-out-item stance Curt teh Juggler: it was quite possibly the most amazing thing ever.

If its even half decent and half polished it will out do most launches. The idea of 65 ships brings back memories of Privateer etc. Albeit on the ocean. Even so I miss a good game where you can work towards larger vessels etc. Plus the lack of dwarves, elves and orcs will be fully welcome. This game has strangely gained my attention which surprises even me.

Yet, in my never ending quest for innovation (and after watching Pirates of the Carabean 2) I read some info on this one and I gotta say - I'm really excited! I recently downloaded Voyage Century Online and so far I'm having a blast. Its so different from the typical MMO's where you just grind your char to max lv and then farm/raid/pvp for top equipment. If Pirates of the Burning Sea is like an extended version of VCO with better graphics and no lags, then they have my subscription ;)
