You can go read posts on my old blog, and see how much I was stoked about. But it never evolved from its beta state, and I never really got into it post launch when so many others games looked more inviting. Even Tabula Rasa over Pirates.

After all it was a snapshot of one nation on one server during one particular hour... maybe it was a total aberration. But I just came away with such a bad taste in my mouth. If I had a Station Access sub, I'd probably log in from time to time just to do a couple of PvE Naval Battles using default ships. I really do enjoy the naval combat. There's enough "simulation" to make it feel pretty satisfying, and it looks really good. You load various kinds of shot to target sails, hull or crew, and the wind plays a big factor. Bow and stern armor is thinner than port and starboard so positioning is important. It isn't seriously hardcore, but it certainly isn't simple arcade button mashing, either. Just wish the rest of the game was as interesting... After sleeping on it, I feel a little bad about slagging the community so hard.

I was able to play the game for a bit because a friend gave me a free trial, and was really disappointed with the game. I couldn't believe all that time had been spent on such a broken and bland game. I was really excited about this game when I had read about it a few years ago, before SOE had picked it up.
