Title: World of Pirates MMORPG open beta Post by: Trippy on July 06, 2004, 08:38:57 PM Saw this over at Gameguru Mania (http://www.ggmania.com/): World of Pirates open beta (http://worldofpirates.4players.de/wop/main_en.html)
Never heard of the game until today. Looks to be a MMO version of Sid Meier's Pirates! Title: World of Pirates MMORPG open beta Post by: daveNYC on July 06, 2004, 08:46:30 PM Looks to be exactly like Pirates!. Minus a point for unoriginality, plus one for stealing from the best.

Looks like they've also capped max players on the server to 250. Which is a small problem for people wanting to try it out, like me, as they have over 4,000 registered open beta accounts. I suppose I'll get in sooner or later.

It's a German company (.de is Germany's domain suffix).

Also found out that 'company' amounts to two guys working on it in their spare time for the last 5 or so years, so from that perspective it looks pretty damned impressive. Now if only I could log in and get to try it... Title: World of Pirates MMORPG open beta Post by: Krakrok on July 06, 2004, 11:44:26 PM I guess I was lucky to have tried it before it got overloaded. I didn't get to far into it as there were frequent disconnects. Supposedly 8 seconds = 1 minute game time (which makes it 64 minutes = 1 game day). Not much else to say about it other than it's MMO Pirates (or Pirate Hunter).

Yo Ho! Title: World of Pirates MMORPG open beta Post by: Righ on July 07, 2004, 09:08:16 PM Quote from: Trippy It's a German company (.de is Germany's domain suffix). "But caution, if then a head money is suspended on you. Then a merciless hunt will begin." Clear your mind must be, if you are to discover the real villains behind this plot.
