[edit] Improving this Article...

I've removed the Guilds section, I don't think advertising guilds is appropriate for Wikipedia (no other MMORPG articles that I checked listed guilds), and it was attracting non-NPOV listings, I'd also previously cut the article down to basically a summary. Detailed info (eg what I've written below) probably isn't needed until closer to the game's release (when we might actually know some more concrete details) Mako 02:59, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

This needs a major rewrite, currently it's just a copy/paste from the game's website. I think it needs to cover:

• combat being ship based rather than avatar based
• the skill system (what we know of it anyway)
• the difference between pirate / navy / adventurer (eg valid ships)
• the nations England / France / Spain / Pirate
• PvP and conquest rules
• the ship archetypes hunter / dreadnought / scout
• FLS's overseas plans
• navigation map / combat instances

and no doubt other things I've forgotten Mako 05:26, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

I think it would also be a good idea to mention the User Content system which is one of the defining characteristics of this mmorpg. --Wormywyrm 10:50, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Is the "Key Features" section appropriate for an objective article? It seems to be more of an advertisement. --75.60.195.134 00:29, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Other

It also needs to mention that this game has been on the cusp of release for about 2years now. And with all the UBER* hype it's been getting if it crashes and burns, which could happen, it will supplant John Romero as the most pwned* game developer(s) since Diakatana. All I've read about is how great the graphics are. It takes more than eye-candy to make a great MMOG. If the economy sucks and it's rife with PK'ers it will become just another roadkill victim on the Information Superhighway. The suspense is killing us. Katabri

Actually I think its best if we stick with the facts and avoid speculation right now, Katibri. --Wormywyrm 10:47, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

• Note Motion for Any wikipedia contributer using the words 'Uber' and 'Pwned' being placed in a small dirty sack and beaten thoroughly.

--Motion seconded

[edit] Advertisement

The last two sections read as advertisements. Especially the first one.--Cloak' 19:36, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
