IT's the most fun I have had in years (I go back to AC) with an online game. What's not to like...pirates..pvp...economy...fighting ships...grand strategy...did I mention pirates?.... It's been a load of fun to play and I find myself playing way too much of it and way too late each night.

i hate the concept of "open seas" so much that i can't play this game for very long at all. every time i am out of the instance and i am presented with a toy ship that i used to play with in the bath tub as a kid, instead of the glorious highly detailed and functional fully rendered model that they have in the instances, i really feel like breaking something so i just stopped playing at all.

i mean, the LEAST they could have done as an excuse for this was render your own ship fully.
