Pirates of the Burning Sea Newest MMORPG to Transition to Free-to-play
by Brian Leahy, Dec 01, 2010 1:20pm PSTThe hottest new trend in MMORPG business is transitioning a subscription-based game into a free-to-play game and Flying Lab Software's Pirates of the Burning Sea is the latest to make the change (via Massively).
As such, it is also subject to the requisite features matrix, which breaks down the differences between free, premium, and subscription accounts. Additional content will also be available for purchase "at Treasure Aisle, the new in-game store."
All prior subscribing members with "accounts in good standing" will automatically become Premium players. From this point forward, a single month of subscribing to the Captain's Club will convert an account to Premium, should they decide to unsubscribe from the game.
If you'd like to play, go for it... you can't beat the price.

It's pretty unique from mmo's
Sea combat is pretty fun. Closest example of 'popular titles' is sid mier's pirates.
So it's all real time and positioning and wind matters.
Overall I've spend a good few hrs yesterday. Give it a try =P
btw: some quests are pretty hilarious.
