Anyone else tried this or fancy having a shot? Don't even need a credit card, make a user account (or use any Sony Online Entertainment one), download and play.

I'm just curious if my opinion of the game is off the mark, I won't say anything but give it a shot, lets see what you think

Edit: here's the link

I've been trying to download it for a while but it's been going achingly slow.

Sound interesting, will sign up once the websites back online.

I was all enthusiastic about this and think it has potential but then I am also out of touch with the quality of MMOs. Others think it the combat is dull which certainly the ship combat gets repetitive and the avatar combat is chaos.

I have still being enjoying it though although I have had to grind a lot so far as prices for new ships are very over inflated. I nearly saved up for one but changed my mind and invested in the economy which is fun but I have not had a return from my businesses yet!

Anyway tonight they have patched it and the game seems more stable and less laggy already!

Must admit to being very let down by this game, was looking forward to it a lot, but I do not feel it has delivered what it set out to do in the first place.

I was looking forward to this game for years!!!

Tried the closed beta not long ago,
Was good for around half a day, then lost interest.

The player to player combat lets it down for me.
ship battles, though can be fun... can be frustration aswell. and dont allways work.

next day, didnt feel like playing, and so on... so Never kept me interested long enough.

Its had potential....but theres just something not right with it. I think they have tried to be all things to all men, rathe than rely on specific game type. This really should have been an EVE with ships and has really failed imo. Also the graphics engine doesnt feel right :confused:

Who knows someday there will an mmo worth playing.

OOps just went through my mail and i was accepted onto their original Beta lol but never downloaded it :/ maybe ill download this one instead lol.

If I had endless ammounts of time then I would be tempted to play it but unfortunately... I dont! So Im staying away from MMOs altogether :/ sticking to my TF2

utajoker · 18 Dec 2007 at 13:35

eekfek · 18 Dec 2007 at 13:46

www.eurogamer.net has free keys if you need one

its not that bad a game, like any MMo you need to give it time , oh and its a beta

Jon33 · 18 Dec 2007 at 13:48

Been playing it for afew days, interesting to play through atm just to see what the skills etc are like.. couldn't see myself buying it and the initial "oo whats this do" phase will soon wear off I'm thinking.

Been playing this for a few weeks. The naval combat is excellent and a lot of fun, however the sword fighting is very poor unfortunately. Plus the chat system and mission logs are awful

Needs a lot of work imo, and after been in several mmo betas I just know its going to be released as it is.
