This is sorely needed. The at-sea game is the most fun you can have in combat in an MMO, in my opinion, but the swordfighting is so bad its like being beaten around the head with a rubber bladder. If they somehow manager to make a good showing, and polish the rest of the game, and revamp the map graphics so they look a bit less playmobile with towns looking out of place on the land surface, then we'll have something special.

Really sword fighting is challenging to implement in games. It has many fast motions and they are very fluid. The only games I have played that made it fun were boshido blade and soul caliber, and only boshido did it realistically. When I was working on my own pirate game I avoided it all together. When two ships come close together you can chose to board, which becomes a computer calculated result based upon your crews. Not nearly as much fun as cannon combat, but I was realistic and knew it wasn't going to work out well.
