Intended to register Fzortimus Blartibus but got repeating Error_ConnectErrorTCP errors upon trying to access Bonny, even though that server doesn’t appear from the list to be suffering from anything. This after quitting and reloading the game a couple of times. Google and forum searches yield nothing.
Edit: All the servers shown are yielding that error, so I assume it’s something more central.
Edit: Man, some things never change. Not only does the “Server status” button point to a generic, non-server-specific MOTD page but the forums are bereft of any posts that pertain to this issue. Well, one thread, but there is nothing useful or informative in it.
I’m in! Seeking guild, or whatever it’s called this time.

Redid my main character. If any Qt3ers are out there, drop a line to my new main, the dread pirate Wolfram von Hart (and yes, that is a glowing yellow left glass eye):

Hm, I preordered from Amazon earlier today but never got a preorder code. I guess I’ll not see y’all until the 22nd!

Xemu, the activiation is in your Media Library. Not the easiest to find, but it’s there if you look.
I got mine in an email. Odd.

Nope, I didn’t get mine that way either. I wonder if it has something to do with whether or not you’ve bought digital stuff before.

Huh, so it is!! Thanks for pointing that out!
Saw Tom on but got no answer to my hail. Ran a pile of missions and called it a night. My Society’s slowly getting on the economic bandwagon but our leadership is MIA currently. One got called up for overseas service and the other one, well, I guess he didn’t think he wanted to preorder the game? That’s a good sign. I could be persuaded to defect. I don’t even have to roleplay (but you know you want me to)!

Fire a salvo across his bow t’ get his attention matey. Or if ya crave a more direct approach, carve “Oh Hai!” on his cheek with yer cutlass and be smart about it.

Ok, ‘Xemu Arctangent’ now sails the seas of Bonny, flying the black flag. How do I join our QT3 pirate crew or whatever?

Gotta chip in and say im having a ball with this too, loving the more realisitic ship battles, just took part in a 15v15 pvp battle on Roberts the EU server, it took a good 30min to resolve, but it was a lot of fun.
Also digging the econ system too.
Best of all, not an orc, or elf in sight!
Thumbs up so far. Can’t wait till the 22nd and we can start capturing/defending ports.

God damnit people, say more negative things. Like I need something to suck up my time right when the semester begins on the 23rd! Bastards. I’m slowly caving.

This does look interesting. But I’ve tried so many MMOs and I always get burned out on them really quickly. Is there grinding? I assume being an MMO there almost has to be. If there is then it’s a no go. I just refuse to give a game time that makes me treadmill endlessly.

Damn I missed this thread. I’m a British Naval Officer on Blackbeard. Just upgraded my ship finally, too.
Doh, sorry I missed you, Brian. I have to play in a window because of graphics problems and I’ve been frequently alt-tabbed out, so I must have missed whatever gentle alert the game offers when someone /tells you.
I spent a good deal of the day yesterday doing some quests with Bruce and getting a foothold on the economy. This is a weird game. Most people won’t like it, but those who do will love it. And the naval combat is absolutely aces, especially with a party.

So why won’t most people like it? :) I started a Free Trader to get a sense of the economy too. That’s the main reason I’m playing, is to experience trading at a more complex level than WoW (the game I’m used to) but less complex than Eve. I’m Mayveena Whitman, btw.

Any recommendations on what to start as? I’m still downloading. And what kind of graphics problems Tom? Bad hardware or game issues?
