So i know in games like WoW you can fish, and in other games you can cook, or even do hair design.
What are some other things you can do in POTBS besides the core design of just Sailing and Swashbuckling?
Thanks alot im looking forward to getting this game, Its just been hard getting all the answers i need from the main page. For some reason its not loading up for me, dont ask why, Damn verizon!

Originally posted by jiveturkey12 Well there is ship building ofcourse and other trade skills you can get into. I havnt checked them out myself yet. Also if you like you can become a trader and play around with the economy. It looks like its going to be something like an EVE economy. I know probubly not as crazy or hardcore as eve, but thats how I like it, no offense you eve players are a little too hardcore for me . Choosing to become a freetrader might be fun if your really into the economy which I'm sure will allow for alot of entertaining game play all in itself. |

The suspense is terrible. I hope it will last. |
Originally posted by jiveturkey12 Just to give you fair warning, if you like the WoW style of fishing and cooking (you cant stand there and throw a fishing rod in the water, nor can you jump in the water and swim with the dolphins and manatees). You will be disappointed, if this is what yoiur looking for. On the hair design question, you can change your characters appearance as much as you want (if this is what your referring to). Some other information that may help you about Crafting... PotBS professions are'nt structured the same way as WoW and this games economy is mostly all playerbase made Items.. This information below was just taking out of thie link.. http://www.burningsea.com/page/explore/gameplay/economy ( From the moment you arrive in the Burning Sea, you can begin building your economic empire. The entire economy is player-run. Your rum was distilled by a player, using sugarcane that was grown and harvested by a player. Your cannons were cast by a player, using iron mined and smelted by a player. You can build forges, mines, hunting lodges, shipyards, and many more structures in ports your nation controls, then use them to produce ships, weapons, equipment, and everything else players need. This isn’t crafting as you may know it from MMOs, where you click buttons to grind out a single worthless dagger. This is production, on a large scale. You’re harvesting tons of sugar, shipping vast loads of lumber across the sea, and trading with European representatives to bring in luxury goods by the crate. Economic gameplay has no level restrictions. If you can dream it, you can build it. Local auction houses are where you sell your goods. But if you want the best price, or you want to get into the shipping business, the real action takes place at a handful of regional auction houses. Buy goods from the smaller local markets on the cheap and haul them to the big ports for profit – and in exchange for risk. Carve out your place in the vast supply chain that starts with mines and forests at one end and massive ships at the other. Exploit the demand that arises in risky, PvP-enabled hotspots to make fast profits, if you dare. The New World is built on a foundation of commerce and fortunes rise and fall day by day. Take your place among the powerful masters of the Burning Sea and build an empire! PDF of Link here http://www.burningsea.com/downloads/pdf/Prima_preview.pdf I would hate to see you drop $49.99 and expect a WoW type game, cause its no where near. Pirates of the Carribean got more of a standard mmorpg setting, this game is morely geared around PvP / RvR / Crafting & Selling. If you like WoW type PVE content with mounts and huge raid instances, then stay away from this game for now. |

You can sail.. And thats pretty much the open thing you can do in this thing... Ah, you cant go to water, and you cant walk on the islands too... You cant swim, you cant jump from your boat or leave it... Its your avatar then suddenly its your ship... Then vice-versa, in a wonderfull teletransport system... You cant interact with the world as any massive multiplayer game nowdays (except DDO, which I dont see as a MMORPG also, only MORPG. Pirates of Boring sea dont even have the ´RPG´ of it, its just an old single game put on a multiplayer basis, in fact a copy, but worst, of Sid Meier´s Pirate) |

Oh, yes, its not like WoW, its a little more brainless, much more limited, more grindfeast... Its more like an oriental game, in fact... You pick a lot of missions, all alike, and go for it, dozens of time... Stay on sea killing other boats, grinding, using the same tactics, until someone attack you, and then you use the same tactic as the player will use it also... Just a different , mindless, kind of grind. WoW its much more of a sandbox than PoBS. And I do consider WoW stupid and far from sandbox... Try EvE...

Graphics are better then Sid Meiers Pirates Cannonballs are heavier Sails get more holes in em Wemen are better lookin You get more splinters per sea battle You can watch men fly overboard You can't steer in the wind You can lose everything on a bad investment Cannonballs are heavier More you lvl the more guns you get (this sells the game for me) More guns If all fails you can purchase a raft. Rum is cheap.
