Yeah, I'm sure that's why Nations have a town of each template. They aren't unique. Georgetown has an equivalent in France and Spain that look JUST like it.

And for GOSHS sakes, let this thread die everyone. I think the point has been pushed across enough. :P

Lol i couldn't compare or say anything about POTBS because i never played it. Also there is much more that could be added to POTCO, i just wrote what camee first in my mind.

Well, go start a thread about it in the Recommendations forum! :P No need spamming a thread that no longer represents what it is named after.

[EdwardTeach]

none of them, WoW wins, no contest!

[WitchdoctorDan]

Yes, because we all love killing 100 Warthogs for a meager reward, right! No offense, mate, but I'm not patient enough for WoW. :P

[EdwardTeach]

Neither am I, thats why I am taking a break. I am into Akella's pirate games at the moment. I mod them too. I did try POTBS. Its fun, but I have no idea what the heck I am supposed to do next.

POTBS looks very facinating. I love the graphics and it's good to see there's a Pirate MMORPG out there for hardcore gamers but I've never considered myself a "hardcore gamer" and it seems too complicated and not as much fun to me. I'll still with POTCO personally but it's good that there are other options for those who want it

POTBS does not install correctly for me.

I love POTCO, I've tried POTBS, and I do admit, very nicely done. But just the fact that my family and friends are here on POTCO, I don't think I'll ever leave. Though the posts look like most are in favor of POTBS.

Number 10: so if you where misusing an emote, no one would care?

Mostly because there isn't any emote that could *almost* be considered vulgar. Also, even if there was, the community is much more mature than POTCO's.

POBTS and POTCO are for two different types of players. POTCo is for pure fun. POBTS is for people who want to play a game as if it were real life. They want it to be as realistic as possible, hence the boring SVS and, from what i've heard PVP. There's such a big learning curve in POBTS it made my head swim.

I've heard that you can swear as much as you want. Someone posted it here on the thread that the game was full of racist comments, Swears, and other nasty things. How can you consider that mature??

The only good quote from Super Paper Mario: "I love going onto forums to complain about video games i've never played!"

People in POTBS don't play it for it's realism. Of course, in POTBS, your ship can't back up as if it were a car, nor do they go 9000 miles per hour. That doesn't mean people play POTBS for realism, they play it because it's the most faithful, and most fun pirate game out there.

SVS isn't boring and nor is PVP. It's not even an opinion. Well actually it is, but saying that the SVS in POTBS is boring compared to POTCO's SVS is downright absurd. Theres nothing "fun" about being sunk in your collosal War Frigate by a puny light sloop just because they have fury gunners.

You can swear as much as you want, but it's all censored. You can swear as much as you want in POTCO, but you'll (maybe after a year of doing it) will get banned. The same goes for POTBS. The only racist people are trolls. All of this is standard in ANY online game.

If you want an awesome pirate game play Sid Meier's Pirates! Just do it, you can reward with rum afterward! Seriously one of the best games I have ever played.

[WitchdoctorDan]

I've heard (but I've never really experienced it) that GMs on POTBS ban racist people/trolls when online. And they're always online. The only "racism" I've ever heard in 2 years of playing is calling the French "frogs", the Spaniards "Dons", the British "Brits", and the Pirates "Rats".

The only "boring" thing about PvP in POTBS is that you can't even hope to do it until you get a Raa or Raa MC or something similar, around level 40(?).

And BTW, you can uncensor curses in POTBS if you wish.
