THE GRAPHICS ARE RIGHT ON...
If you remember that this is a MMORPG version of Sid Meirs Pirates!
Similar graphics have worked well for games like Ultima Online and others.  How fancy does it need to be?  How much processor time should be taken away from the action to be applied to bells and whistles?  I prefer lean and mean, high speed, fast paced...  Get 100 enemies on your screen and see what I mean.

THE PVP IS THE BEST OF ANY MMORPG*!

I have played them all, and for a NON-FIRST PERSON* game, this is EASILY the best PVP action of ANY.
Also the PvP oriented community... What can you say... Funny, Hardcore, Exciting... Nothing like them anywhere.

1.5 years under my belt, I keep trying the new games out there, but I always play this game to feed my PvP Tooth!

CHECK IT OUT, STICK WITH IT A WHILE, YOU WILL SEE WHAT I MEAN!

5/5 for PvP, 4/5 for Graphics (in the spirit of Pirates!), 5/5 for Community, 5/5 for Price (Pay Once, Play Forever, no Item buying to give others advantage as in other "so called free games")

NEW!

Another patch was released recently.  It enhances even further the awesome Player-vs-Player system that this game already has.  Right now, I believe this game is the BEST NON-FIRST PERSON PVP game out there!  And for sure, the price is right!

Give it a try!  You WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

I think teh people that are stuck on graphics have less imagination than the ones that love the gameplay regardless of the eye candy.

That said, WOP has been my favorite game for almost 3 years. I joined in beta and we had so much fun every night i log in and play every chance I get.
