Mmmmm dunno what to say. Well, technically it is stable. Rather. I have certain bugs with speech & sound, but this may be due to my hardware/system. It never got my system crashed - I'm impressed, no sh*t. Lucky me (others are not so lucky though).
In terms of gameplay it feels like a crossbreed between POTC and SeaDogs (the cities are indeed SeaDog-ish type of thing - no jungle, etc.). Like, Seadogs in a POTC costume. Yeah, the sea looks super. The interface is way less consolish - generally it is OK. I liked it, though I'm a bit disappointed with the cities - POTC was better in this respect if you ask me.
v 0.99 + 1.0 patch (yes, it has been released on Friday), but it's indeed still a beta. Bugs, bugs, bugs.
I cannot progress, really as many bugs pertain to (1) shipyard (repairs are rigged with bugs - I cannot properly repair my cannos, f.ex.), (2) boarding other ships (btw, the duels with the enemy captains are indeed hard; oh and your cannons explode all the time - that's tough), (3) crew morale (it drops no matter what - there is a huge discussion on the official forum whether it's a bug or a feature).
Well, I am not a beta tester. and I'll stop playing until there is another patch.
Some people claim that they manage to play without serious bugs - well, perhaps. Others (many others) are outraged - the forum server barely works now.
My personal impression - we've got a rather stable beta. You're still envious? Perhaps it is worth it wait for another 1-2 months.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Frankly, I'm still a little envious for i wait for this such a long time.
But,indeed,we can't play a game like this with so many bugs. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

Maybe its english version will be much better.

Thanks mpiglet for bringing us info in time.
And i've got a question,is there only one city/port on each island?
