Uncharted Waters Online

[Grallon]

Since the other one drowned - let me raise it again.  I'm still playing and still having fun.  Although for some it's as much fun as watching paint dry.

Since the last thread there has been 2 Updates: Azteca (meso-America unlocked) and Angkor (South-East Asia and large PVP battles at sea unlocked).

I'm now a lvl 26 Adventurer, a lvl 15 Maritime and a lvl 40 Merchant.

And I sail a magnificent trading galleon but I'm looking forward to the super large galleon!

I started trying to play this again when I saw the updates but got bored while trying to sail from London to Lisbon.

I downloaded it, got annoyed with the anime art direction, and quit.

And Garbon is right on cue

Yes that's bothersome at first but frankly BB, I didn't think you were that shallow.  The main problem isn't silly Asian quirks like this - it's the hordes of cheats and gold sellers.

Still I love sailing, and searching tombs for artifacts, and making a killing profit with a cargo of spices from India, and crafting nice clothes or furniture, and ...  You know - something other than fighting endless throngs of mobs like in WoW or the other MMOs of that ilk.

I dunno - aren't you allowed to be shallow when it comes to something as frivolous as gaming?

I liked the idea of it - that's why I downloaded it in the first place.  I loved Sid's Pirates (both the original and remake), and this sounds like a bigger version of that.  Maybe I'll try it again some day.

I was just pointing out that the game didn't change fundamentally with the new expansions...especially not for those just starting out. Shame.

GAMA server was hacked and deleted.  This happens 3 days after a large ban of hundreds of multi-boxer accounts (mostly Chinese).  I'm pissed.

Fortunately after 4 hours the server was back up - and I hadn't had lost even the new Sewing rank I had acquired right before the crash.  The publisher even extended the 3X skill event until tomorrow.

Pity nobody else from here still plays.

I'd play, but Lotro takes all my free time. I'm near lvl cap though, so I might get bored soon.

[crazy canuck]

I still dont know why you play an MMO Grallon.  You dont like playing with others.  Why not just start a solo game like patrician or Pirates - then you dont have to worry about cheats and hacks.

I believe I've said it before - other people add background noise and depth to the game.

I'm now lvl 50 trader, lvl 32 Adventurer and lvl 20 maritime.  I must have around 100M in the bank and I'm getting bored.  When is CK2 coming out?

Well the 4th Expansion: "Ottoman Empire" has been released last week.  You can now defect to the Ottoman Empire; you can also own a plantation in the Carribean, the Indian Ocean, the Pacific and off the coasts of Western Africa.

I am now lvl 55 trader, lvl 36 Adventurer and lvl 21 maritime (hate the grind).

And here's my newest ship - a large trading clipper with a workshop modification.
