It is more than worth the money. Basic is a joke; it's more like a trial than a full game. Definitely get Unlimited, at least to try. It's ten bucks. If you don't like it in a month, quit paying. Ten bucks for a month of pleasure is a good deal anyhow.

Actually, it's $40 cheaper if you do the yearly pay...
Yes! It is so worth it... You can get way better weapons and ships...

basic...never mind
Basicly basic access is what i call REAL bilge water...if ye know what i mean...unlimited is a LOT better. with basic you can only go to level 8 and you can't get anything better than a cutlass and a pistol. and ye can only get ONE type of ship (light sloop) wich isn't really any good at all.

My account is "basic" at this time and basic is exactly what I expected it to be. It's mainly just a trial account, as someone else mentioned, in order to decide if you like the game enough to stick with it for a while. Fine.
I could see myself enjoying this game and playing a while, but the devs are gonna have to spend alot of time on this game in order to get my $10 a month. My game experience was less than desireable, certainly not good enough to justify spending my money on. The lag is the worst I've seen in any mmo I've played. Some of the mobs were glitched on me, and the thing that absolutely ruined it for me was getting attacked and killed by mobs I couldn't even see, that happened on several occasions. Might have been due to lag, perhaps the mob hadn't visually spawned yet? Who knows. I realize this game is newly released. Lots of hiccups to be expected. But at this time, I cannot possibly see the benefit of paying to play this game. There might be added bonuses, but if you're horribly lagging, those bonuses won't help the game play. I'll have to watch this one and see how soon improvements are made. It's a shame, this game has tremendous possibilities. |

as for the cost the site says " all new members pay 4.95 for the first month " so fellow beta testers we yet again get the shaft, and as for the game play i tried the basic version on the day of the games release and it played great then logged into my unlimited paid account and the lag was and still is bad.

I suggest you keep playing the free version until you reach a point when you can't progress anymore. If at that point, you want to play more and unlock more features, it will be worth it. I preordered the unlimited, but now I'm not sure if I am going to keep it. I loved the game in Beta, played it every day. Since it opened to the public, I just don't like it as much. Too many in-game problems. It isn't worth it to me to play at this point.

I have a monster computer machine, and I get lag like hell, ya wanna know why? It's server lag, potco developers decided to get a cheap server that has TOOOO many servers instead of working on quality, they bought quantity, which is really a shame, so we'll be lagging until they make big bucks, which isn't likely since most people will stop paying-- it's just really a sub par game compared to pirates of the burning sea coming out in January... sorry to say...

I don't have that impressive a computer and I am playing in the uk but don't notice much lag so I really would agree that you may need to look at your broadband or the amount of memory in your computer as POTC is quite a memory hog and I would say that it requires at least 1 GB of memory in XP
another suggestion would be to try changing worlds in case the one you are on is getting a bit overloaded. *** I should have added though , I am on unlimited access so this may be part of it *** my compurte specs Athlon 3000 1.5 GB pc3200 Geforce 6200 256 MB |
