POTBS vs. POTCO

[Captain C83]

Well, I finally decided to try it out and my thoughts are that it's a good pirate game but definitely for a different audience so comparing the two is kinda unfair. I DO have to say though that while PotBS has better graphics, better customization and more variety in quests, POTCO IMHO is more pick up and play enjoyable. I also like POTCO's sword fighting system better.
I'm also noticing PotBS seems to have sever issues. That said, I find myself enjoying this just as much as POTCO and am now addicted to both of them XD

Well said Captain Del and others.

PirateEmpire - I find it interesting that you are comparing POTCO Basic play to the paid version of POTBS. As has been stated there is really not much that can be done as a "Basic" player on POTBS either and it requires "payment" to get access to more advanced content. You are playing the upgraded version of POTBS and that should be what you are comparing to POTCO's Unlimited access.

Seriously though POTBS is built as are most standard MMO's with community economy, Auction houses, items to be gathered and PVP factions. I have played dozens of MMO's over the years with similar systems. I did some research into POTBS at one point to see if I would like to play it. To be honest there are many aspects of the game that did not appeal to me including how difficult it is for starting players to advance against those who are already high levels.

I play POTCO because I have tired of these things in other MMO's and because as stated before that the community interaction is top notch. Anyone can log onto POTCO and just start playing and having fun with little learning curve. We have Game Master events with the developers actually in the game having fun with us. This is a very family oriented game and it's very easy to build great friendships here. There are many here who have multiple family members playing together.

We play POTCO for the simple fact that it is NOT like other MMOs and we don't want it to be. Every so often we get someone like you from another game trying to "Convince" us that we are playing something we should not be. I wish you the best in POTBS but you won't be seeing Captain Whale there. Enjoy POTBS sir and leave us to our fun if you will.

Cheers - Captain Whale
