They also included a link to the "latest" trailer which was posted back in February, which was a reposting of the Japanese trailer from 2013. Rather than reposting that trailer yet again, I figured I would post a fan made trailer that actually gave you a much better look at what the real game looks like :

And this one is a quick bit of a Let's Play :

Damn those korean pricks.. I had 5 accounts.. 3 of them I was locked out of for no reason.. I was one of the richest in the game.. I filled all 5 accounts with 20b each and then took a break for a month.. came back and couldn't log in my accounts despite many support requests

But this is a very wide open world game.. from Europe to Asia, sailing would take you 40-50m with an average fast ship. It's the only game you will ever meet that can actually take you a lifetime without finishing it, which is one advantage to it.. you can't be the best because you keep developing and that's a time-consuming thing.

Problem with this game is the pirate players are outrun, outgunned, and outnumbered.. most veteran players are pirate hunters and they made 95% of pirates quit the game because they were simply under advantaged by all the pirate hunting.

Trade in this game is not bad at all.. but at the same time ridiculous. A 1 hour and 30 min voyage from europe to asia and back, can net you 100-150m with good cargo haul.


On another end, what destroyed this game is when they signed it on steam, thousands of players joined and everyone paid money to buy astros.. then hundreds of those players got rare ships from the sailor's bottle.. then everyone now has billions.

And poor me I spent 5 months buying & reselling to make 100+ billion in profits.. only to encounter a bunch of kids who nearly became as rich as me just because they spent a few dollars on the game.. that's another reason that made me lose appetite.

With no racial offense intended, those korean nitwits made a successful game; but successful only because thousands play it and a lot of astro buyers filled the admin's pockets, which enabled the game to keep moving; otherwise in my opinion UWO would have been a much better entertainment if it wasn't focused on players spending real money to enhance their game play. And trust me, spending money on astro is very tempting.. a lot of desirable rewards, but make it unfair for the hundreds and thousands who aren't eligible to purchase.


Ps. just look at every update they make .. all those updates 99.9% consist of updated "Sailor's bottle" ships.. enough said

Sounds like they did a real good job of replicating the actual history of piracy, then!

lol if you hear the rest of the story, you'll laugh even more.. this Gran Atlas update #1.. it introduces Port Royal city in the Caribbean as a pirate haven because as they said during that time piracy was rampart!

But when you start the game, you automatically start doing main character quests.. each nation has a different one and it takes time to complete.. but most of them are based on historical facts from the 15-16th century early ages.. then somehow they introduce St Petersburg new russian city and the kingdom of sweden.. then timeframe shifts to 17-18th century.


Moreorless, I got bored after a year of playing because i was more interested in Caribbean naval game.. so I played Pirates of the burning sea.. not bad at all, except that new management caused major economic changes that made 90% of players quit.. so game is literally dead and the map size is quite small for a massive multiplayer game.. on top of that, you need at least 20-30 accounts to make a good economy business run for you.. in which you must spend every day 1-2 hours logging in and out to fix up your supply chain and run the business..

I gave up on that.. now it is up to Piratesahoy to establish the next generation of Caribbean MMO in the near future (first let's check out Hearts of oak )

One way or another, HoO is not intended to be a multiplayer game.

Yes I know.. games like COAS and POTC are very special and can't be compared to any other game.. single player has it's own beauty.. as for MMO, it needs a devoted set of design that can make it live on through the years.
