+100 missions
+Many Ports
+Player Controlled Economy
+Port Governors Player Voted
+Massive Player Customization
+Vast Open Sea
+Conquerable Ports
+Big community/loyal fanbase
-Partial lag
-Fewer servers
-Big learning curve

POTCO:
-Unlimited vs Basic
-Must pay to access higher ships and majority of missions
-Repetitive missions
-3 ships types (Sloop, Frigate, and Galleon)
-Some clothing and weapons restricted to Unlimited members
-Unlimited can use 99% of game
-Basic has maybe 1% of basic game access
-Lack of content/expansions
-Smaller community/close fanbase


So, who wins in this battle? The P2P disguised as a F2P or the P2P who went F2P?
You Left out so many stuff on POTCO- and i agree that it depends on player and every opinion would be bias.

-Unlimited vs Basic
-Must pay to access higher ships and majority of missions
-Repetitive missions
-3 ships types (Sloop, Frigate, and Galleon)
-Some clothing and weapons restricted to Unlimited members
-Unlimited can use 90% of game
-Basic has maybe 10% of basic game access
-Lack of content/expansions
-Smaller community/close fanbase
+Privateering- Pirate vs pirate ship battles
+PvP - Pirate vs pirate land battles in groups or alone
+300+ different weapons
+many different enemy's on land and sea- Skeletons, Navy, EITC, Ghost, Davy Jones servants (each with more categories under)
+Card games
+Different treasures and loot
+Mini games-cannon defense and repair
+Different islands, caves and jungles
+Less than 1 gb required


I haven't player other game so i'm not gonna say which is better but i have to say that you didnt include a lot on what you said about POTCO
