I started off playing Pirates of the Burning Sea with the pre-boarding party, which means that I have been playing for nearly four weeks and have not written very much. I mentioned my first character, a freetrader, in a post.
Of course, I have since rolled an alt, who has quickly become my main. […]
The Site
I wrote a bunch of nonsense over the course of the month, nothing out of the ordinary in that, but this month a bit of it caught on elsewhere.
First, my “MMORPG Progdictionations” got quite a few page views, some from forum links where things I predicted were being discussed rather seriously. I guess […]
Pirates of the Burning Sea went live yesterday after a few weeks of limited pre-boarding. I did the pre-order for PotBS after open beta. I also did the pre-order period for LotRO which resulted in a very smooth launch for that game– in part because the economy got a jump start and the […]
Sorry Taylor. Despite the title of this post, I think all of you should go check out this Kotaku preview of Pirates of the Burning Sea. The land-based portions of this game look like World of Pirates, but the sailing/fighting sections look very cool. I have only dabbled with detailed ship combat games (I mostly […]
I picked up the pre-order box for Pirates of the Burning Sea, downloaded the client, and have been playing the game since the “Pre-Boarding” party began.
That is pretty much the same story I told when Lord of the Rings Online came out. I bought the pre-order box, played through the pre-release, and then went […]

This came to be in the car during my commute while I was pondering the future possibilities of Star Trek Online. I think I actually managed to capture most of it in notes, put great chunks of it down in writing, then edited out the irrelevancies.
This is an attempt to lay down the environment that […]
There’s a good thread going over in the PotBS forums called Things i wish i would have known earlier…. Like a lot of smaller games (especially early on), there is still a fair amount of really useful info that is still in the playerbase “lore” category rather than in a tutorial or in-game help […]
I would never go out and buy hardware just to be able to play a game.
Ha ha ha ha!
Yes, I know, what a kidder I am. I have as much as admitted on these pages to upgrading video cards and replacing my whole home system pretty much in the name of gaming.
But this time […]
