I personally love this game! It's hard to please me in regards to mmo's yet this fills all the boxes nicely. You get a massive economy system (all player built) you get to do swashbuckling and cool ship battles. So yeah, come take a look, it's awesome!!!

I'm going to give the trial a spin. I played beta, and was quietly impressed. There were some excellent things: the ship battles for example are genuinely tactical and you can cause quite a big of damage to bigger players in small nippy ships when you rake them from stem to stern. The economy was pretty nifty too, and of course I loved the age of sail setting. It's a shame that land combat was a little shabby, and it looked a little rough around the edges.

They've fixed stuff and made it run a little faster since I did beta though, so I'm looking forward to giving it another try. I still wish somebody plowed a big budget into really doing a massive version of the Napoleonic Age of Sail - as a Patrick O'Brien junky I'd be hooked utterly. Still, love those ship battles!
