had a go on it; it looks like it could be alot of fun, but since this is my first MMONG, it was a bit weird for me, and for some reason it LAGS LIKE AN UTTER BITCH. i turned down all the graphic options on the very lowest, but to no avail. it completely fails to run properly...

any advice?

most mmobetas are generally very laggy to start with.

You could run this thing on a cray, but if the server end is throwing cogs because it's beta, there's nowt you can do, it'll get better.*

*probably.

Anyone else got one?

Connected to pirates, I just found this game via a Sony advertising e-mail:

It has pirates and giant squids.. er.. well.. krakens.. but nearly the same. It can't be that bad!

haven't explored it fully yet, but the sea battles are great fun and maybe, just maybe i'll buy it.

Tis laggy as fuck, still, I did the only thing a 5punker can do with a MMONG.

OK, eve costs about £7 per account per month, what does the bumming sea cost?

I'm actually fairly interested in this game.

Post by **Dr. kitteny berk** » January 6th, 2008, 15:47

I have no idea, But I imagine it's about the same.

Oh I follow you now, I thought you'd seen actual prices, hence the

I think about £10 is a sensible limit for a MMONG, I hope it's not over that, be cool if we can pay in $$ too as that always works out nicely for us.
