6.9 is a pretty low hype level for this game. Where's the love, guys?!
This is one of the only MMOs thats really poised to knock Eve-Online off it's throne in 2007 |

that you love this game, doesn't mean everyone does :)
maybe some ppl don't like pirates (can't believe that) or maybe some are more hyped by an other game (WAR > PotBS) |

There are so many potentially great games coming out next year that it's diluting the hype.
 Actually that's no bad thing. I've been waiting for niche games for years - once the market is big enough that games don't have to cater to all playstyles, maybe they can start catering more enjoyably to particular playstyles. More games, more ways to play, and hopefully happier players. Ok, that last is a stretch.  |

MMO''s are okay, just don''t let them run your life. |
Different strokes for different folks....lol. All I want in my 2007 wishlist is for all the cool games with advanced economies, a player driven storyline and more realist graphics to burn WoW from the MMORPG scene. Like all great empires it is now time for BLizzards to come to an end. Great company, don't get me wrong, but the 12 year olds can stay were they must grinding for Tier 3/4 ....sigh . I'll worry about building an armada--->PoTBS, maybe a Town--->Age of Conan, Ranking to Admiral for a Science and Research Ship---->Star Trek Online. |

I agree that PotBS seems pretty underhyped. Once it releases the hype is cleared though, and we get a fresh start based on peoples actual impressions of the game! I know that if I were to choose two mmorpgs to name as the best out at the moment, they would be EVE and Guild Wars. I reckon DAoC, Ryzom and EQ2 deserve to be right up with those, just as they are on the top ranked mmorpgs list right now. I think I would put Second Life at a higher ranking than its been placed on MMORPG.com though. Thats probably because it is something of a niche game (plus the graphics are prettttyy old). I dont think PotBS will be that big of a niche game though... It seems to have elements that most mainstream mmorpg gamers will enjoy... Maybe the mainstream mmorpg gamers just havent realized it yet |

PotBS has dropped a lil in hype when it was said to not release til next year, but fear not it'll take it's rightfull place high up soon enough. |

I don't understand this actually... How can you not believe a hype? You think MMORPG.com is fucking with the results of the poll?
Not everybody loves the game like we do... |

Not at all. But hyping is just a form of polling, and therefore has inherent limitations in terms of what it actually expresses. Add to that, that only members with a certain legitimacy here (as in, number of posts and whatnot) can hype, and you're looking at a pretty closed system. As others have said, not everyone is waiting for POBS, more fools they - but with the plethora of good games in development it's not surprising. When there are 10 games to hype instead of 1, people will pick and choose more. Just my take on it. No conspiracy, just lots of choice. Anyhow, Public Enemy said it all before.  |

I think it could be much higher than 6.9 too. I think a game with pirates is going to be highly entertaining, especially with the boats that shoot the cannons!

Why does it still say it is in development when it has been in closed beta for ages?

Because closed beta is part of the development process. Bringing in testers in small (and then increasing) numbers is how you break the systems you just spent 2+ years working on with the sweat of your developer brow. :-D

So I have high hopes for the PotBS ratings once the game releases.
