alanschu Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I've played one pirate MMO. It was actually quite a bit of fun. The Caribbean is a perfect setting for this type of adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanschu Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 (edited) Another worthless MMORPG. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I disagree, I think a game setting like this is better than most RPG universes for an MMO.

StillLife Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 (edited) One word: Disney. I love pirates as much as the next guy, but I don't know if I could handle it. Pirates were often mean, drunken bastards. Then again I played Puzzle Pirates(MMOG) for like sixth months and game's don't get much more cute than that one, other than the fact rum was like player fuel. It would be hard to top its sheer, lego piratey, brilliance though. Must not forget the upcoming Pirates of the Burning Sea too. I'm sure Flying Lab was thrilled a little company like Disney is fixing to compete with them. Edited April 18, 2006 by StillLife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenghuang Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Tron 2.0 was fun, but I think that was more Monolith's fault than Disney's. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanschu Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Pirate games always tend to be on the romantic side. Sid Meier's Pirates is one of the most highly acclaimed games of all time. It certainly does not depict pirates accurately. If this was Freelancer on the seas, I'd likely buy it in a second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llyranor Posted April 18, 2006 Author Share Posted April 18, 2006 Isn't EVE Online similar to Freelancer in concept? (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanschu Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 (edited) Yes. I have played some Eve Online as well. Though I just played the trial. By the time I was willing to pay for an MMO, I had no one to play with. Didn't feel like jumping in by my lonesome. Eve has a fantastic economy.
