Pirates of the Burning Sea Starts Beta
An anonymous reader writes "Pirates of the Burning Sea is a fresh thinking MMORPG that is not based on the typical leveling treadmill like so many others. You can find a podcast interview with designer John 'Rev' Tynes at MMORadio. From the site: 'Britain, Spain, and France are carving up the Caribbean with the thunder of cannon. Fleets lay siege to ports bursting with wealth, eager to claim them for King and Country. The sea burns with the fires of glory. From the haze of battle emerges the Black Flag, and into the chaos plunge pirates, bold and resolute. This is your world now, a world of battle and intrigue, and you will captain your ship through the pages of legend!'" It's great to see one of these more niche games getting out into the wild like this.
If I wasn't commenting already about a lack of link to the news in the story, I would have used my last mod point to mark that post a troll.
That's your perogative of course, though in my defense I don't think I was trolling, rather letting another user know he could have saved himself some riducule by actually thinking twice before posting. No, I wasn't particularly friendly about it, but then I live around gaming fanboys who love to slag off games they've never played so it becomes a sort of instant reaction.
