Nice to see some familiar PotBS folks around. I was with RN since the early days, Rauri, Molly, the Macers and that lot. Would love to reconnect if anyone is around. Also, I'd love to hear how this game looks to compare with PotBS.
I am very tempted to throw down the cash and get in for what looks to be the next great age of sail experience, but I'm thinking of waiting until there is an immediately downloadable client. I'm not too comfortable, paying first, then waiting an indefinite and undocumented period of time for a game key.
