    A World of Pirates Q&A

    There's a server limit of 250 people since there was too much lag with the relatively large numbers. Initially connection was fine; if you clicked "connect" 10 times in a row, you almost got through, but that wasn't good enough for a whole bunch of selfish people and now they sit onthe server...

    Vanishing money

    Maybe you misunderstand why your crew's morale was so high, they just got their hands on $825K!! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" /> Hehe, sorry I can't help.

    -Any site with a `in-game` video out there??

    Cat, I'm pretty sure Cpt. Jack is well underway with the game, he's even running two versions at the same time (one with mods and one plain version). <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0"...

    -Any site with a `in-game` video out there??

    You're the only person I expected to respond, and you're the only person I'm prepared to forgive because I knew you were on `dial-up`. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wink:" border="0"...

    Should I sink this game?

    I can't really help you with this, but I can tell you I have never hard the game continuously crashing, with or without the builds, and I've played it through to the finish a number of times. That said, I haven't played the game very far with the latest build, so maybe the problem lies with...

    My wishlist for Pirates!

    You can't knock it until you've played it, but yeah, Pirates! is pretty much the basis for every other pirate related game. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

    -Any site with a `in-game` video out there??

    So after all my work and painstakingly matching scenes and actions to a musical score (hehe, it was pure luck but it worked out perfect!), has anyone actually bothered to download the main clip (the 13MB one)? Anyway, here's the link if you're having trouble finding it throughout the thread...

    My wishlist for Pirates!

    If it's online `sea-faring` that you're after, check out "Pirates of the Burning Sea": www.burningsea.com but be aware, it will require a monthly subscription fee of roughly US$10 when it's released.

    Me house in Isla Muelle

    Heh, this is a nice house to be sure. Funny enough, I posted a bunch of screens shots about this place a li'l while back too. Interesting to hear you had to kill the owner, I've never met anyone in there. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif"...

    Hard Question To Ask

    I tried too, but I couldn't upload anything at all. The build plus all updates is almost 50MB; that's a rather hefty upload. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_eek.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock:" border="0" alt="icon_eek.gif" />

    Is it impossible to make deals with smugglers???

    I don't quite know the relevance of my technique, but I found if I led my officers down the beach away from the smugglers and told them to stay put, and then went back to the smugglers and performed the "transaction", I was never attacked by guards and we left in peace. If I performed the...

    Hard Question To Ask

    What if someone were to download the build and patches, zip them up into a ZIP or RAR file and upload them to the PotC FTP site, could you download the ZIP/RAR file from there?

    Hard Question To Ask

    To be honest, if your PC is somehow infected with a virus, it's not the best advice for anyone to go emailing you as their email address will then reside on your PC, and may end up getting inadvertently added to spam lists and the like. Also, as Cat has asked, do you have over 20 MB storage...

    -Any site with a `in-game` video out there??

    In the past I've used a few other capture programs, but that Fraps one seems to be damn good. The frame rate dropped dramatically when it was running, but still it faired better than all the others I've tried. I'm actually uploading the 13 MB capture again because I noticed that the music got...

    -Any site with a `in-game` video out there??

    Ok, here's a little clip I put together (complete with insanely over the top background music!): <a href="http://members.westnet.com.au/sampow/potc2.avi" target="_blank">***PotC Game Video Clip***</a> - 13MB The resolution has been halved (i.e. it's 512x384 rather than the 1024x768 in the...

    -Any site with a `in-game` video out there??

    Hey Cpt. Jack Sparrow, I'm just in the process of reinstalling the game (to give Cat's FB mod a go), so I'll make an attempt at putting together some scenes for you. I don't have much web space available, so expect it to be only around 10 MB in size, and possibly no audio.

    FINALLY A NEW QUEST FOR PotC!!!

    Well, this has certainly been long anticipated! I'm gonna have to reinstall the game again to check it out. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cat" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

    Nautical Origins of Common English Slang

    I always though that "Over the Barrel" was related to being "shafted"...

    What's the play value now?

    Although the mods that have been done for POTC are great when considered they are from a community of gamers, you are kidding yourself if you think the mods are what have made the game great. It's the concept that's great, the mods have just smoothed up a few rough edges and added a few more...
