Pirates of the Burning Sea: Bonny server

Okay, if anyone’s inclined to try this out, join me and Geryk on the Bonny server. Rucker’s here, too, but he might be RPing, so don’t call him Rucker. My chick’s name is, uh, Chick Lass.

Female avatar? Oh Tom…

Wait are we still in Beta or is this now live? Yarr?

Lee_Johnson · 2008-01-14T14:05:52.000Z

I believe this is the early start period for pre-order customers. Nominal live day is Jan. 22, if I recall correctly.

So the LOTRO is over again already?

tomchick · 2008-01-14T14:14:14.000Z

LOTRO is for fun and will never be over! I’m doing Pirates for an assignment.

Oh, and we’re the pirate faction, natch.

Yeah, someone needs to give me a reason to do this kind of thing.

Jasper_Phillips · 2008-01-14T14:33:06.000Z

You guys are making this game sound like a ton of fun… ;-)

Well, since you hate all hex-less games, yeah.

I don’t think you could pay me to play this game.

More specifics on your hate would be appreciated, Marcus.

Well if they fixed the ground combat then cool but last I read it still sucked. Also the ship combat was OK but man the water looked like crap. I had everything maxxed and it was not impressive in the least bit.

I’d strongly suggest trying the demo or free trial before dropping any money on it.

Here this should work…

Erik_J · 2008-01-14T15:31:32.000Z

I’ve played crummier looking games, but that water does look particularly disappointing for a game about pirates. Hopefully the Qt3 think-tank will provide more details.

What is this, the Legion of Super-Heroes MMO? If so, I totally call “Lad Lass”.

tomchick · 2008-01-14T15:38:01.000Z

It’s me plowing past the mental lock of thinking up a character name. Which I did so effectively that my character actually ended up being named Lass Chick. Great. Now we have the same last name.

You are married!!

tomchick · 2008-01-14T15:51:08.000Z

That’s just…ewww.

Brooski · 2008-01-14T16:26:44.000Z

It is not even close to as much ewww as the thing from the GFW radio podcast about people who want to marry Sonic the hedgehog. I mean, who wouldn’t want to marry a hot pirate? She is hot, right?

RepoMan · 2008-01-14T16:42:17.000Z

You mean HE is hot. I mean… you mean… nevermind.
