So does this mean that Aether is going to feel like a tool now? Or um....*cough*

Where is the game being developed?

OMG I can be a pirate!

Go find a pirate name generator and signup. My name is Eel Skin Eugene. This and the agency may actually make me get a station pass.

I will be playing this game. Nuff said'.

I swear we have known this for ages,

I want to play it and can't wait to play it!!!

Ages? Nah, it's been known PotBS is gonna be in SOE's hands for a month, 2 at the most. They're in the process of switching servers and equipment to SOE facilities right now.

This is going to end up like Vanguard *shakes head*

I do hope not. My ... er ... "sources" ... *cough* tell me the  game is excellent.

>_>


<_<

From what I watched at FF, it has an interlock system with Multi Fighting. I wonder where they got that from.

It seemed to work alright too.

Silly little gimmick of standing on someones toes then finishing them was pretty funny.

What? My ... sources ... don't recall an interlock system. Pretty normalish avatar combat for an MMO.

It was IL..from what I saw. Looked it anyway. It was like turned base, well same as MxO.

it dosent have interlock, i asked over at the kiosk and it just looked that way because you could switch between targets.

Sid Meier + Interlock combat though...and a MMO

Oh Great SOE gonna sink this one too  HaHa get it Sink .. Pirates... Boat on water SINK ..Man Tough Crowd...

From the post itself. As long as SOE keep their grubby mits of development and Customer Support, It'll be fine.

That what the producers of Vanguard said first, but then they ran out of money and gave the game to SoE, let's hope Flying Lab has enough money to see this through to the end.

The "Big Dog" over at FLS has stated that they are fine financially and won't suffer the same fate as Vanguard. Something about where they get there money or something, I dunno the details. Long story short, PotBS is not an SOE game. It's an FLS game being Platform Published by SOE and it should stay that way.  " width="15" height="15" />

Until the mysterious - "OMGWTF WHERE ALL MY MUNNIES GO!?!??!" happens as the head guy at SOE kicks up his feet sulking in his perpetual, stereotypical, and manipulative bad-guy overcast shadow.

If SOE assumes control of the developmental aspects of Pirates, I don't know if I'll keep with it. It looks to me like one of those games that really has creative potential like MxO, but can be overlooked by the masses. If that happens, it'll suffer the same fate.

LOL~ I got it ; P

You know...that is quite the interesting arrangement for a game.  One can only begin to imagine how things may have been different if The Lith kept all rights to development, support, blah blah..for MxO and let SOE do their thing with marketing, distribution, etc..

Let's hope it works out, I like the concept, and in theory it sounds like it fixes a lot of what may have gone wrong (or not, depending on your point of view) with the full SoE takeover of MxO.

LOL, I loved this QA on their sight

" I hate SOE and I will never play your game.
That’s okay. I’m sure there will be people who play our game and then hate it anyway. We can’t make everyone happy but I can make you this promise: if Pirates isn’t good, if you don’t like how the game is designed, or how the servers are operated, or how we interact with our community, it’ll be our fault, not SOE’s. We own the game and the buck stops here."
