For me. As with most people who move into a new house, I am sitting on the sidelines waiting for TimeWarner to come and hook me up with internet. This also means that over the weekend I have been “out of touch” with my usual circle of information/opinion websites that give me such interesting things to talk about. *sigh* I feel like that kid who can’t go out and play football or soccer because it’s raining. Metaphorically speaking, of course. . .
Anyways, as soon as I get my internet back (Feburary 5th :) ) I’ll be picking up a copy of Pirates of the Burning Sea. I have been waiting for this game for 2 years now, and I won’t let a little internet outage keep me from getting my hands on it. I haven’t actually played the game yet, but, contrary to what our new writer Edward thinks, it looks awesome. I had a friend over to my house the other day and he was explaining the in’s and out’s of the economic system and it sounds like it could actually work without being too complicated, something the EVE Online suffers from greatly. I plan on putting up a review of the first 10 levels as soon as I can (expect it in about 2 weeks). I’m also in the middle of working on a number of interviews for the website from a wide range of MMOs. Hopefully I can snag one of those soon.
Sweet, good luck with the game! I played the beta and I really didn’t like it. The economy isn’t that detailed and can be confusing, and it takes a while, but you get used to it. I hope you enjoy it!
