    Has anyone seen COAS in the U.K. yet ?

    Agreed Cap'n Drow, I would have pre-ordered from Amazon but in the past have generally found I am waiting for pre-ordered games to show up days after the shops had them :-) And thanks to you as well Cap'n TY - that's an excellent price too, think I'll order... Well, might wait until tomorrow...

    Has anyone seen COAS in the U.K. yet ?

    Oh no! I was sure you would have it by now Pieter - sincerely hope it appears soon, otherwise we will both have to resort to importing it too. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

    Has anyone seen COAS in the U.K. yet ?

    Hi All The title says it all really. The last UK launch date appearing on Game, HMV and others was today, but a quick ring round found nothing but "What? Never heard of it....". I note that both Game and HMV's websites have now been updated to something more vague (i.e. they quote the date...

    why always the caribean?

    Yep - also a New Horizons fan, only played the PC version though. Those who want the "explore the world" thing might want to check out "Discovery Online" from Jango Game ( <a href="http://donline.jangogame.com" target="_blank">http://donline.jangogame.com</a> ), it's as close as you are...

    why always the caribean?

    A slight aside here - there was actually one Pirate game that featured various areas of Europe - "Corsairs" by Microids - a French company (it may have had a different name in the U.S. of course...). It had various issues, but was a valiant attempt and definitely a "just one more go" type of...

    Uncharted Waters

    Blimey - I used to play this too, it had "something" that is missing from most games these days, proof that gameplay is better than graphics (although both would be ideal). Could I ask a question though please. Is this download converted in some way for running on XP, or are you running it via...

    Any Spore Adicts out there?

    Ah - not so young after all ! Aye - I get the Sporecast thing now, I will indeed get me some themes. Hoping to find some Philip Hamilton inspired stuff - I have already seen a couple of goes at "Lady Mac" (Philip H Hamilton writes some excellent Sci Fi - although some of it makes War and Peace...

    Any Spore Adicts out there?

    Best moment in Spore so far was whilst at the Creature stage. A UFO flew over and started abducting other creatures. What got me though was that the ship was "Liberator" from Blake's 7! Later I found it crashed into the side of a hill..... OK - so you're probably all too young to know what the...

    Awesome game I just recently discovered....

    Excellent game - play it regularly. But with every update it runs slower and slower on my ageing machine. That's not a complaint though, it's come a long way since its early days. I am not sure that the Piratey mod is supported for the current version of the game though - although I have not...

    Sparrow Search

    Thanks for your comments Pieter I have installed 14Alpha8 three times now and I am afraid I must report a continuing absence of ships in the harbours. I believe you when you say yours are fine - really I do :-) Re your comment on the initially empty harbour (opening scene), yes - I am aware...

    Sparrow Search

    Many thanks for the reply Captain, er, Sailor :-), I'm out tonight but will try installing 14Alpha8 again tomorrow with a little more care over which directories I remove and more attention to error lines appearing during the install. And Morgan Terror is right - now I think about it I must...

    Sparrow Search

    Hello All I debated with myself as to whether I am posting in the correct thread since my "issue" may be an installation one rather than a bug. However here goes. I note that in Build 14Alpha8 all the harbours are empty apart from my own ship. This might be a deliberate part of Alpha8 but I...

    Pirate MMO's List

    Hi All Thankyou - I will see if Caribic Islands passes the "work-internet-filter" test tomorrow - most game sites of any sort (with the exception of Pirates Online for some reason) are blocked at my company. If it passes then it might be a fun diversion for lunchtimes. Meanwhile I too came...

    Pirate MMO's List

    Hello All Some small snippets of information to add to the above list (I am not aware of any others to add). World of Pirates is a one off payment only - and a small one at that. It's 100% PVP so not for the faint hearted. It does have that "must have one more go" quality about it and I still...

    POTBS Ships

    Hi there Mr Salt Short answer is yes, they can take your ship, but there are caveats. Once your ship is taken (or blown out of the water <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roll:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />) you are sent back to the...
