PotCO vs PotBS

[Brandon]

Pirates of the Caribbean Online vs Pirates of the Burning Sea

I have been looking into both games and i have to be honest PotBS looks alot better then PotCO. Now I have played PotBS and only limited (except for beta when I was unlimited) so it may seem I know more about PotBS.

Pirates of the Burning Sea

Pros:
Tons of ships to choose from
Great Graphics
PvP designated zones
4 Nations to choose from (that includes pirate)
Realistic (as in speed when against wind and with it, no spells, historically accurate for most things (if not all))
Mostly focused on sea battles (even tho theres lots of islands and land)
Good guild system
Allow users to submit content and if its accepted gets put in game
ALOT of character customization (missions unlock new clothing and stuff ex. eye patches, wooden legs, parrots, dif logos for clothes)
Can group up alot of people for fights
PvE is loaded into a private battle so only group members can come in or other people if you call for help if your out numbered
Players can sell or make things (Ex. I could make cannon balls for my guild (society) or even ships)
Has its own economy (Auctions and free trade)
Mature players and role players
Can get stuff to make you or your ship stronger (stronger stern, dodging shoes, etc.)
3 different fighting styles (Florentine (short sword and dagger), Fencing (swords), Dirty Fighting (cutlass and pistols))

Cons:
Gotta go out and buy it (lol)
Pay To Play
Sorta complex game style
Takes VERY LONG time to go across the map
Can get boring
Simple sword fighting (It is like WoW where you just press a button but you can get alot of different kinds of moves and tactics)

Pirates of the Caribbean Online

Pros:
Some not too serious players
Fun sea battles
Well written and known storyline
Not bad graphics (but not great)
VERY addicting game play
Multiple people can be on a ship
Can aim a cannon and fire different balls if your on a friends ship

Cons:
Not that great guild set-up
Gotta be in clicking range of person to wisper them
Very few ships
ONLY pirate available
Mainly PvE
Gonna have free (VERY limited) paid (unlimited) servers (should all be free)
Servers seem very laggy for some reason in limited
Players gank your kills or just try to get rep off your hard work
ALOT of little kids that play
Seems to crash if you got to good of a computer? (I got 4-5 times the reqs and it black screens but I hear everything)

Both:

Ship boarding for sword fights
Some kind of guild system
Fun sea battles

Now thats all i can think of right now. I've shown some people PotBS and they have the same thoughts as me. Put down what you think and please dont flame me.

EDIT: Updated since I have bought and played PotBS
