Saw this over at Gameguru Mania: World of Pirates open beta

Never heard of the game until today. Looks to be a MMO version of Sid Meier's Pirates!

Looks to be exactly like Pirates!.  Minus a point for unoriginality, plus one for stealing from the best.

Game info and website were definitely not written by a native english speaker.

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).

Yep.  Noticed that.

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...

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).

Oooh, errr!  Pirates!  I'll give this a go.  Maybe It'll cure my fantasies about MrHat!
