I see it was released not to long ago and sony is already offering a free trial I was just wondering is it a fun game?  or is it bugly and one of those games that becomes boring after new isles?

It certainly got it flaws but, i just resubbed again yesterday and this game is fun. It's very heavy on the pvp.

 

But give the free trial a go, it's worth the 14 days for sure and you might just find yourself wanting some months more out of it after the trial:)

 

PS: go antuiga since the other servers got an unhealthy low populace

As the other poster mentioned, it has some flaws.  However, what MMO doesn't.

Pros:
Ship to ship combat is perhaps the best combat system in any MMO.
Decent graphics
Good PvP.
Nice end game mechanic
Great theme throughout the game
Lots and lots of outfitting and equipment options that make a real difference.
The content in the game is generally fun.
Port battles are incredible.
Economy is pretty cool when it works
User created skins to customize the look of your flags and sails

Cons:
Avatar combat can be buggy, it's not bad, just buggy and repetitious.
When I quit, there was kind of a lack of things to do after you got to a certain point.
They are still adding content, a fair number of the cities look exactly the same.
PvP can often times be a gankfest.
The economy can be heavily affected by the devs actions, inflation and supply can be a problem.
It can be hard to fund yourself for PvP without grinding for some time.

Mind you, I stopped playing after about 2-3 months.  It wasn't that I didn't like it, I was just waiting for more to get into the game.  You'll get your moneys worth out of the game if you buy it, and I would doubt that someone would get bored too quickly.  If you hook up with an active guild, then you likely will want to stick around longer.

alot more people like myself satarted in beginning played beta andf now are returning since the next greatest things since sliced bread failed to live up to exptations in the last 6 months (insert your failed game name here).

game has healthy populations on antigua and economy seems to do well, i have been playing for last week and seen alot of good pvp.

if elves /dwarves are wearing thin its a breath of fresh air and they are revamping avatar combat so that will be fixed shortly

 

Some lead and some follow I prefer to stand beside!

Blackbeard also has quite the balanced population as well.  It's not as big as the other servers, but there's always plenty of incredible fights going on.

This game isn't bad...

It's absolutely dreadfully horrible.  Save your money and time, don't bother.
