There's a simple solution to this, go try BBO for the ten day free trial and see the differences for yourself? Yes it's the same format from the same developer, but run by a different company in based in Germany; who are molding it to their own modified version. I challenge you now to go do that free trial, give it a fair run, try to be open-minded and then come back and say it's the same game, waste of money etc etc.

Wow, i had taken it!!!!!!! 

 

I had written that Superqwerty works for bbo, and the post was erased!!!! LOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLL

Collusion between MMORPG and some Game Softwarehouses !!!!!!!! As also a baby could think.........

 

Bad stupid world.

Just for the record, I don't work for Yusho or as part of BBO (I'd like to though because of their good attitude to us as players.). I'm a player that likes the game and think it gets an unfair press. I'm not alone in this as you have seen in recent posts. Also in regards to yourself I will continue to argue the case for BBO as opposed to VCO for reasons I've mentioned before.  So what did you think of the fair trial if have taken it that is?

VCO IS 1 FUCKED UP GAME - I made it to all 100 on 11 stats (those extra stats are paid for with Phase 2) and I paid for Phase 3 which are fucking expensive and u need them to progress. This asshole up above me is obviously either a noob or IGG staff guy trying to argue VCO is good. Go to BBO, 15 bucks a month is cheap and fair - VCO u end up spending 100's of dollars a month and get ripped off by IGG and its staff in the process of it all and they are as rude as f.uck. DO NOT BE SUCKERED INTO THIS GAME - GO TO BBO AND SAVE TIME BY LEVELLING UP THERE FOR FREE AND GET UR ITEMS FOR FREE. DON'T WORK UR ASS OFF IN VCO AND GET OWNED BY SOMEONE WHO IS GAY ENOUGH TO SPEND THOUSANDS ON ITEM MALL. FOR EXAMPLE THERE IS A GUY CALLED SOCO1974 ON VCO WHO HAS TOTALLY ITEMMALLED HIS CHARACTER - the guy didn't kill mobs to lvl up and read autobooks - that he ran from these mobs which he could kill in several hits lol, WHY? HE HAS NO IDEA. U ARE DEALING WITH THESE NOOB FAGGOTS WHO JUST LET VISA TRAIN THEIR CHARACTERS AND NOT PLAY THE GAME. GUESS WHAT IGG SUPPORT THESE GUYS EVEN ON THE FORUM. U WILL BE BANNED, DELETED, CHEATED, AND WORSE EVEN GM'S PLAY IN VCO!

 

Wow, lol!

I had never seen so much looser's word all in one post, u rock!!!!!

Go to pay childrens, go to pay and play and do not break "things" to other people with u're looser's kind of do.

lol, 10 euro/month to play at VCO renamed  change kind of game, childrens!!!!

oh and i can think of TONS of things id rather do with $15 than playing a boat based pirate game (did someone mention burning it?)

bananna/willynilly

  

Wow!, Funny man! ROFL!

Never the less, it's a free 10-day trial that you could try for a wee while before you slag it off! You're just assuming it's crap and you know what assume means don't you?

No, well it means making an ASS out of U and ME!

So go try it first before you criticise and write BS on this forum!

and i gotta pay $15 a month?

*laugh/yawn*

        

What would you do with $15 a month anyway for the same length of entertainment?

It's not just a boat based pirate game, there's 60 different ports to discover on a world map. There involves a lot of Land battle and crafting to develop as well as an emphasis on mechanting. It's got something for most players. You can try it for free, a free download and a ten day trial. Why you try it first before assume the worst!

Let me stop you right there.... DUH!

Yes, I agree "DO NOT PLAY VOYAGE CENTURY"

Just want to add "PLAY BBO INSTEAD" run by a totally different company that has miles better ethics than the VCO company. If you thought VCO was hell, then BBO well be your heaven!

Originally posted by ianopolos

 VCO is just bad graphic sucks, lots of players cheating with many accounts, game slow terible when lots players in one map, u cant have more than 8 skills but u must pay 15 $ if u want more skills but beside that  game has some good ideas for crafting, planting, upgrading ships, pvp sieges ...

BBO is the same format as VCO, but run by a different publisher, Yusho. They are a good customer friendly crowd, totally different from those thieving money grabbing, rude & indifferent gits at VCO. You pay a monthly subscription of about $15 a month, but that is all you pay for unlimited access to the game. There is no advantage to being RL rich in BBO. Furthermore, Yusho do more for us as players in the game. It feels more like an online holiday camp really! Just give it a try with a free download and 10 day trial.

Ooooh Look!

User Rating on VCO now slipping away, down to 7.8!

GOODBYE RIPP-OFF VCO & HELLO BBO!

I can't understand and i want escape from people who don't knows the real value of money

Permadeath is dumb as most games stand right now. You can die way to easy and I really hated having to get  5 or 6 friends together just to get my body back. SIngle biggest reason I quit EQ 1 all those years ago. Too much interaction between players isn't all that and a bag of chips. No offense, but most of you aren't nice people and I don't care to talk to most of you! :)  ( no worries I think it' more of an age difference thing than anyone really not liking anyone else.)

 

Permadeath games? Have fun but they certainly won't get any of my money.

You're right that there is an element of  players that I wouldn't want to converse or deal with, but I've always found them to be a minority and quickly isolated by the rest of the playing community.

Too easy a death is usually a result of super stupid mega monsters and again those superhero immortal players. It is a technical point about dieing too easily and it is really up to the developer to find the right balance. If they do not they obviously loose good customer s like your good self.

Well if you want permadeath, maybe in keeping with realism characters could randomly come down with cancer or other diseases and die through no fault of the players actions at all.  That would be even more real.  Doesn't sound fun though.

 

 

Its not about realism. I mean, the more realistic the game is, the better, especially if it`s RPG. Mmorpg are rpg to some point. However, fans of permadeath want it not because of realism, but additional level of adrenaline. Its more fun, more excitement. Some people will never understand it, but believe me its great feeling when there is some risk. Thats why some people jump bungee or parachute or gamble

 

In addition, Permadeath game is a challenge and those with big genitals like challenges and competition. It is in male nature to compete, to prove they are better than others. And in the game with no danger there is no way to show you are uber. You can just show that you spent more time grinding.

But let`s top this discussion. Pros and cons of permadeath were already discussed many times. I just wanted to inform that for those who want permadeath, that our dream came true

I think Permadeath is a good idea, perhaps just laid out cold for noobs maybe in the beginning although waking up completely naked would be good as a penalty for your foolishness. There has to be a risk element in mmorpg's to keep the excitement going. This would also keep a balance in the game since there too much emphasis on leveling up over a period of time to become an unstoppable super hero.  Let's get back to old fashion role play where you had to take care of your character and stupidity was punished. Rescue was possible in a team, hence the social aspect of the game.

Possibly have a limited life span of the character where old age will decrease your skills or at least stamina. This stops players coming and going on a casual basis and removal of perpetual superheroes. Maybe in the game you need to find a partner and breed your new characters to leave your stuff to, possible train up in your talented skills and build a large family tree or business eventually. This could replace the Guild concept where leaders or founders don't participate in the game anymore because they're bored being an immortal superhero.

Think it's worth considering, because the perpetual grinding away to get to lvl one hundred and silly is getting boring and most players in some games are doing this whilst AFK. When this is happening, you may ask what is the point in participating?

Just to put things into prospective, VCO is a free play game to a point. How much players are spending per month does vary a lot.  Accepting that in the beginning Players will pay nothing, but in the end as the months roll by the costs to upgrade your waepons etc comes from your RL wallet and could translate into a monthly cost. So, since this is a major sticking point between VCO or BBO, perhaps I could ask all regular VCO players to work out what they are spending per month on VCO and enter in the poll I have here?

I don't think that there is a market this and the amount of partnerships forming through online games is vary small. If you are intent on finding someone you'll apply to the huge amount of websites there that do the dating thing (Or adult in some cases.).

Meeting someone through gaming is usually coincidental and this still has to blossom face to face in the Real world if photos haven't been swapped and so on.

Gamers will go on your MMORPG for the game in the first instance, not for the dating.

My advice is therefore don't do it!

I'll advertise it, because it's better to pay a monthly subscription than pay more on a supposedly "free" game that really isn't. Bringing the free download and ten day trial to everyones's attention is way of allowing it to be given a fair and reasonable trial. Unlike your good self who justs assumes the worst before even trying it!

Sorry, but u are not right, if someone have never played to VCO can start it and can play for free for months!

 

Then.... after a lot of time of free play he could decide to pay to continue as a "master pirate" or not, but he had played for months amusing himself and paying nothing.....

This is the truth and this is the HUGE difference.

Will agree to differ then, you gonna buy that beer then?

In my life i will never pay for an On-line game....           

let's have a beer!  

There's a reason that no award exists for 'dumbest post'.... a new one would top it every five minutes. Game companies are in the business to make money. Sorry if that's a shock to you... but the brutal truth is that there are very few (I personally can't think of any) games that are run by non-profit companies. You think their server costs, etc. are paid for with fairy dust and good intentions?

 

 

Hehehe, u are really right!!! U didn't take 5 mins..... just 1 or 2, this is a real guiness!!!

Yes, there is always a scam somewhere. I just like to have it all upfront so I know the true cost is overall. Nothing is life is free, even the air we breath is polluted and will kill you eventually.

I choose my own death and having lots of beer sounds good to me! Pint of Guiness please!

Good point about Bounty Bay Online i was looking at playing that as well to alleviate the item mall problem. But besides the itme mall are their any other differences between the games??

It's essentially the same basic game having originated from the same Chinese software developer, however run by two different publishers in different parts of the world. VCO is mainly for the American market place. BBO is run by a German company, Yusho and has three servers, one for German speakers, one for English speakers and one still in beta for French speakers. I'm obviously on the English server which attracts a lot of North Americans or those that have english as their second language. A propotion of these are ex-VCO players from the States.

Yusho have made some changes, obviously to remove anything to pay extra for and moved the items into quest prizes etc. Silly items like water pistols and rubber hammers are removed as they detract from the historical setting. Yusho are customizing the game to their own format as time goes by adding patches. GM support is very good seeing that it's paid for. They do events like City Pirate sieges and some others like escapes of the local zoo or prison on a regular basis to keep us on our toes. So GM's don't just sit there bored waiting for queries.

There's more info on this website with a good video interview with Yusho. Worth having a look!

Haven't played POTBS yet, but reviews seem mixed so will try myself soon.

VCO isn't entirely free. You have item mail which requires RL cash on a credit card. You pay to upgrade weapons etc. So not all of the game is open to you and some players do spend a fortune there. Granted, not all players however they just limit access to the whole game and the more weathly players are unstoppable which is kinda unfair in a gaming sense.

I play Bounty Bay online, which is the European monthly subscription version of VCO. With the monthly subscription you do have a much better GM support and all those item mail stuff you get on completion of quests. So apart from the monthly subscription you do not pay extra. The Client is a free download and you get ten days free play to check it out yourself.

Rotfl, i played VCO since January 2007, what u think, man ;)

Probably will be some quests that u have to pay to go on, but u could also stop ureself there.... i never payed anything, i had a lot of amusing  months and a lot of new freinds.

My guild was one of the best, (we were travelling from the 2nd to the 4th guild place) and we were going to conquer a city.

Unfortunally pc problems and some hard weeks of work, get me out of the game.

Probably u will have to pay when u will become a great pirate, but..... wich is the problem?!?!?!

U had a lot of months of amusements and great time, what u need more?

If u wanna go on and u are a game's bulimic, u can pay, otherwise, i think u can stop u're VCO's adventure and go elsewhere. 
i think VCO had yet given to u a lot without asking u ANYTHING!!!

Go to play to BBO (or BBQ... i s better :P)!!! How much???? 15$ everymonth?!?!? 
HAHHAHAHA ROTFLLLLL!!!  
if i had played to BBO since january of the last year i had now payed about 195$......   how many "quest by payment" there are to go on?? will u have to spen all this money or u can just pay for the some mandatory quests and then u can go on always without paying anything??........
And this...... after that u have played for months for FREEEE.... !!!!!

No comments, no ways, VCO LEADS!!!!

I'm pleased for you if you keep your spending to a limit. You do however at the same time limit your access to the game and therefore your potential fun. There are players that have spent more than your stated amount in one month to keep up with wealthier players.

BBO has many players coming over from VCO at the moment and relaise the difference between the two. I would suggest you do the same as $15 a month is only average and gives you access to all the game without the player imbalance!

VCO is starting to slip on the hype-meter as well!

STOP TO ADVERTISE IT!!  IT SUCKS AND CAN ONLY BE PLAYED BY MONEY!

THERE IS A NO SENSE TO DOWNLOAD IT AND WAIT ALL THAT TIME JUST TO PLAY FOR 10 DAYS  

 

BBO SUCKS!!!! IF EVENTUALLY U LIKE TO PLAY SUCH GAMES, PLAY BBQ!!!!

BUT, NOT AS GOOD AS BBO!!!!

That's the thing with Yusho. They're trying over time to take BBO in a different direction than that of the VCO version. I like the fact that they care enough to put on regular events, Not just arena battles, but events they have put into Cities like prisoner escapes, pirate City seige, animal escapes from the zoo and so on.
