Description

Pirates of the Burning Sea is a persistent-world RPG set within the turbulent Caribbean during 1720. Players begin their seafaring career as a swashbuckling pirate from the organized "Brethren of the Coast" or as a citizen from the three warring nations of England, France, or Spain. No matter which faction is selected, players will set sail as a ship captain with the opportunity to engage rival nations and pirates in naval combat. Player-versus-player encounters are supported, and characters can specialize in four different professions: naval officer, free trader, privateer, and pirate.

I've loved pirates, always have. I remember watching Captain Blood as a kid and wanting to be a pirate. So earlier this year I happily preordered PoTBS; just wanting to blow up ships with cannon and fight in bars and bang whores. Good, clean pirate fun, rught?

Wrong!

The game started off well, nice little quests to help the port (I started as a privateer); and then after joining a flotilla and sinking a fleet and taking thier hidden base, I thought I was hooked. Not so fast little swabbie!

Then came the 'economics' quest. It lost me after the second part in the chain when I had to wade through literally a multi-page instruction manual about warehouses and workshops!

What? All I wanted to do was blow things up and have pirate fun. Not in this game, you'll be broke and way behind the power curve with gear, ships, money et al unless you have a PhD in Carribbean economics.

It was with a heavy heart I uninstalled the game and cancelled my account and reinstalled Sid Meier's Pirates again for my Pirate fix.

Born in 1685 near Glen Coe in Scotland, he grew up amongst the Mac Donald Clan there, although he didn't belong to that clan. He had a quite happy childhood, until a grim winter night in 1692 when his foster family was massacred by English soldiers.
He was sent to his uncle who was professor in medicine in Aberdeen. He received the education appropriate to all young gentlemen, including a journey through Europe, attending a fellowship at the University of Louvain, During his travels he picked up a few skills which would prove to be of use in his later life, like navigation and fencing.
1715 AD. The Jacobites rise against King George in an attempt to restore the Stuart dynasty. Gregor fought at Sheriffmuir alongside his clansmen. Although the battle remained undecided the rebellion failed and the rebels were hunted down.
He got captured in 1720 and was sold as a slave to serve on the plantations in the colonies.
His ship was attacked by pirates, and most of the crew slaughtered, but with the help of some other prisoners he managed to fight of that pirate gang and take command of the ship...Ever since he has sailed the Caribbean, as a pirate, acting as middleman, assassin, spy, smuggler for different factions in the Caribbean.
