I agree there's some room for improvement in Pirates, and adding the Brigs is a good step forward. Especially with ship customization, I think Pirates will become a little more entertaining when they work the bugs out, though I find Pirates quite fun as it is.

Yeah. That's all it'll ever do. An "okay" job.

The combat system in this game is what brought me to enjoy playing pirates online.

Like, how the game doesn't do all your skill actions for you like other big MMOs do, such as WoW or LOTR. Really makes it boring that way... in my opinion anyways.

That and PvP mode. When you combine good combat system with PvP, you get a win.

The problem with PvP is people exploit like there's no tomorrow.

1) Fast switch

2) Grenade with sword damage glitch

3) PvP Glitch

4) Wall glitch

I wouldn't be here if Pirates didn't have PvP. The game wouldn't live as long without it. Plus, you'd see people fighting "basic" like. Nah, that makes the game further boring.

PvP is broken, content is lacking, and bug fixes are taking longer than 2 months to develop.

Obviously, the game has been getting worse with every update. I can never enjoy the real "Pirates Online" experience that made me go unlimited for 07-early 09.

Hey, at least I said something positive about the game this time

But, can't relive it anymore :/
