I love this game. It is flawed - all games are flawed - but for sheer fun and kicking butt and taking names, this game rocks. It is child safe - almost too child safe, some words that are censored are baffling, but its also goldseller discouraging - you can't trade items with each other. Since pirates are greedy, that figures.
The graphics are simple but the animations are good. The sounds are excellent - but are just *there*, without any kind of point of reference. if someone shoots on the otherside of the island, you can hear it as if it is right next to you.
Customer service is extremely chancey. One time i got a total moron - the next time, my problem was literally solved in *minutes* of contacting them.
One issue is lag. it can strike suddenly and without any kind of warning - one moment you're toodling around sinking the enemy, the next you are barely able to turn and it looks like a slow slideshow - and of course, half the time you are just sunk if that happens. Moving to a 'Quiet' server helps with that quite a bit.
Over all, thumbs up - my guild and i (we play on AoC and EQ2 and CoH) play on thursdays. Arrrrh!

A lot of fun for the casual gamer. Easy to play and very enjoyable having multiple players on one ship. If only more MMOs would go the route of multiple crew per one ship...PotBS, for example.

I like playing it everyonce and a while. I especially like the naval battles.

Graphics: They look choppy and very outdated. The sound is ugh. The roleplaying is.. childish. Value.... for a week at best. I guess it would be fun for a seven year old. Community is childish. Lag is unbearable. Service sucks. LOL FAIL.

It's 2008, globalization is key. Online games know no boundaries.... yet it's not possible to sign up for someone outside the US or Canada to get a payed subscription.... This game is a FAIL!!!

Don't even bother with this game, unless you have the fastest internet on earth and no one is playing the game that day. The lagg is just ridicules and i have 7 mb internet(Road Runner) and a new lab top (toshiba) and this games lagg is crazy. Also leveling gets slow after level 5, and they want u to pay for the crappy game or ur suck without all the cool things: Bigger Ships, Voodoo staff(once ur level 5 its a quest u cant do for a really cool weapon unless u a member), and many things(which i dont know about because i stopped playing the game after my boat stop moving for 5 minutes(lagg again at its best). On the up side if ur still wanting to be a pirate, soumd is okay(u can hear the wind blowing ur mass on ur ship, cannon balls firing and hitting other ships, gun fire, sword slashing), and role-playing is really fun because they use the real characters voices(or it seems) from the movie.
