By rss@youtube.com (dwilliam01) Part 2 of "Smoke 'n Oakum". Several mistakes here. I used a hull patch instead of a mast brace.

I didn’t do any PvP minigames having tried them in the stress tests which was enough for me. I get a distintcly more PotBS type feeling about this or maybe Guildwars type of zoning/instancing.

By Wilhelm2451 PvP - We're losing ports like crazy, which is bad.

By syncaine So DAoC simulated real war did it? Far more accurately than say EVE or Shadowbane do? Right… Last I checked, real war looks a lot like group vs group PvP now anyway. Maybe he meant WW2 style war, but I think we had an MMO based on that war already…

By Keen I want to talk about the PvP a little bit more; infact I want to include some PvE mechanics in this too. This isn’t a game without risk like some of you might be used to. In PotBS your ship can sink if you’re defeated in PvP AND PvE. When your ship sinks, depending on the ship, it may be lost forever. Shi...
Opinion: Pirates of the Caribbean Online

By Kit Pierce Once you get into the game, you are led through the various aspects of the game: Swashbuckling, crewing a ship, owning a ship, pistol play, PvP options, casual games, questing, and magic use. All told, (skipping past the cut scenes) the initial arc for a new character takes an hour or two.

By Enrico S. Sinking ships seems to be more fun but more risky. The unrest points gained are based on the level of the ship sunk. It's been said that 10 points are granted for level two ships while you can get a whopping 105 points for a level 50 ship. You only get half the given points for NPC ships, so player-co...
