Pirates Online goes live on Mac

Try Pirates Online Forums, http://www.piratesonlineforums.com/ it has some good people that are friendly and willing to help. There are also a few guilds to join too.

Have loaded it and it runs ok, signed up to the subscription, but as I live outside the US I "had" to give a US address, picked the Apple store in LA "The Grove", they will apparently get some free stuff sent to them courtesy of Pirates, only they will not have a clue who I am, oh well, the person who opens the mail that day will get an early Xmas, hope they are a fan. Ha who am I kidding they work in an Apple store, bound to end up with a Pirate fan.

i actually kinda like th game (=D)

This is a terrible game...

Sad :(

mike,
You run LOTRO on your Mac?!??!! I thought that was not possible, I'm desperate for LOTRO!!!

Well they hosed their beta testers on the deal...nothing special for those of us who helped them for the past 5 months develop their game. Not one perk. Kind of annoying for a game that's really sub-par compared to Lord of the Rings Online.

I'd run it on the Mac I have now...but that'd be a waste of time.

It runs on Leopard. There seems to be a little bug where the cursor occasionally disappears. It's fun and straight forwarsd to play- the free game gets a bit boring and suffers from "upgrade to paid ingame advertising" where, when you hit certain activities, settings, or seemingly arbitrary moments in time a large UPGRADE NOW ad obscures the game. Regardless, I might pay for a month to see what the game really has to offer.

I installed it and got it running on Leopard... it was the constant downloading of updates on my less than nippy connection that put me off. I barely got past the pirate designing.

It also doesn't say that it runs on G5s, but only lists G4 or Intel. I suspect it'll be just fine. -_^

I played it yesterday on my Macbook Pro running Leopard. It runs just fine. It's no World of Warcraft but it's nice for being free.
