As I am just now getting into MMO's more, I am still cautious and would like to try the game first.  If anyone has a spare buddy key I would greatly appreciate the chance to try this game out. 

cameron.shelgren@gmail.com  OR PM me here.

THANK YOU in advance!!!

One thing that has not been mentioned is that when you go to the site and try to get the trial and are from anywhere but Australia, it will give you a message saying your IP is not an Australian registered IP and it is only for Aussie customers.

This happened to me, if others got around it, I am curious as to how...

*Update*

Sorry Lethal...you already mentioned it

I do not know for sure, but I would think that during the installation of the client, you will have the option for Advanced setup and can choose a separate drive.

I am curious if this works, so let me know.

I agree.  If you asked for a key and have received one, go back and update your post saying you have one. 

This will make it easier for someone like me that came in on the post a few days after the latest request and did not know if one had been given or not.

I just gave archgriffin one

I am not sure who exactly has received one amongst the most recent round of requests...so, that being said...

I have ONE key available ATM.  First to send me a PM will receive it (I think that is the fairest way to do it)!! 

Not sure if it was touched on....but multiple ports CAN be set into contention.   There are several ports that cannot be conquered, but aside from those, most ports can be "conquered". 

For someone like me who is more a casual PVPer unless I can find a good solid group, I like that my PVE mission choices can and DO have an impact on the overall world in the game.  Do a mission at an enemy port and increase unrest.....or, do a mission at one of your ports and reduce unrest.  Granted this often times means entering a PVP zone where pirates can attack you, but it can be rewarding in the end. 

Also...for the poster speaking on how the dev's responded to his post:

Here is a little insight I will give.  Flying Labs Software is, in my opinion, one of the better developers out there.  I have not had experience with them until PotBS, but I would give them

They are EXTREMELY informative of status of servers during beta, warnings and apologies during outages of any kind.  The CEO as well as all the developers actually respond to the smallest of posts in the forums.  They allowed the community to create ships as there are somewhere around 10 or 20 ships in the game that were created by the community....you can create your own custom flags and sails....I could go on and on.  

So yes, they know that there is a lot of work to do, but I whole-heartedly believe that they are working as hard as they can to implement these fixes/additions in a timely fashion.

Well since this website has alot of hardcore mmorpg gamers, I am curious on which faction they are going with. My guild is heading to the BLACKBEARD server and we will be sailing for SPAIN.

 

 

 

That is the main reason I chose Spain is because I knew everyone and their dog were going to either be British or Pirate.

And 90% of the time, the server listings showed British and Pirates as being HEAVY or VERY HEAVY where Spain would be LIGHT or MODERATE.

I also may be looking at joining a society (as talks about creating my own my be getting pushed back for at least 6-8 months) and I will be going blackbeard and spain as well...if you would like Highplains, add me on xfire

If you purchase the Retail boxed pre-order you receive will recieve a Parrot to add to your toons shoulders as well as a special sword (depending on fighting style).  Even better, is a 60 minute Game Music CD!

BTW, they have released server information, including location and name!

For those that were involved in the Open Beta, and participated in the end of Beta event, know that the devs at FLS are constantly pushing the servers to discover performance/stability issues. 

The end of Beta event consisted of everyone of each nation amassing at a given Port.  We then formed groups, talked strategy and prepared for battle.  Upon getting our coordinates and dropping sails....lag like I have never seen ensued.  For many, their ships just froze for several seconds, if not almost a minute.

However, the next day there were posts from FLS staff and devs thanking everyone for participating in the event, stating that they gathered an enormous amount of data and were able to begin pinpointing issues almost immediately!

So, FLS is working constantly to correct bugs, stability and performance issues.

This game is going nowhere but up!
