- Lovely Piratey Goodness! Sure it has flaws, but there's nothing else quite like it.

- Pirates i'm able to say is probably one of the worst MMO's i have played in recent times. The gameplay is slow, the quests are very repetitive (placing you in the same enviroments and the same looking cities constantly, on top of that there is no challenge at all. PVE seems not to have been polished or catered for at all. PVP can be even worse. The sole point of PVP is to sit outside grinding a port for 12 hours until it's placed in contention, and you do this by attacking shipping that comes out of the port. When you are in a Red Zone ( a contention zone) the battles are so slow with other players and clearly unbalanced (when it comes to pirates) that if you do start winning (IF!)then the pirates simply turn and run and you can't catch them. This game overall is unbalanced in favour of pirates (And they plan to unbalance them even more so) slow, boring, unfinished and needs a hell of alot of work on it. Unenjoyible and a waist of a wage. Don't buy it.

- One of the worst games you're likely to come across this year. Everything is broken.., PvP needs to be financed by PvE grinding. PvE missions take you into PvP zones where high level ganking gangs get their kicks killing low level players who have no chance of fightiong back. The economy is a joke. Nothing good to say really.

- Could be a great game but FLS and Telstra have ruined their chance to be successful in Australia by squandering their opportunity to advertise. The Telstra shops don't even know they have the disks and they are not in any magazines that actually matter. Compound that with the fact that they refuse to patch us to the level that the European or American servers are at, and they don't even host the Australian server in Australia. A great game spoiled by mismanagement. For shame FLS!
