I am an addicted VCO player, and love pirate like games. But before I started to that, I took a close look to this game and its conception looked a lot like the Ascaron game Port Royale. I love this game, and I would like, from who has played them both? Is my impression correct? Is this game an online Port Royale? |

I tried VCO, but I didn't much like the combat system, or the idea of getting out of my ship to chop wood and and smash crabs on the beach. I haven't played Port Royale, I just looked at some screenshots and I'm not sure how close it is to World of Pirates. I think the best thing you can do is sign up for the 10 hour trial and see for yourself. When I first started playing WoP, it appealed to me because I used to play Pirates! Gold on a Tandy back in the early 90's, and this was like an updated version of that but multiplayer. Basically you have to do a little skilling to get your navigation skill up (to be able to sail more and bigger ships) then you can join a clan, do PvP, take cities and defend them, etc. What I find great about WoP (compared to games like VCO, POTBS, etc) is the simple, arcade-like combat . Even players with low skill can hold their own vs high level players if they can shoot. Try the 10 free hours and you will be hooked Here is a link to a Wiki Strategy Guide if you want to skim through it to get an idea. strategywiki.org/wiki/World_of_Pirates
