| English speakers are clueless about the international gaming world.
Nearly 60% of fee based game play on the entire planet goes to Korean based NCSoft, generated by Lineage-1 & Lineage-2. I've been playing these games on and off since 1996 and it still amazes me when I walk into a game room internet center here in NYC and they don't even have Lineage loaded. The Korean's are 5 years ahead of America when it comes to wireless, and all you can do is scoff at them. Such insecurity is pathetic; no wonder all your outsourceable tech jobs are going to India. BTW, if you think the Korean's are bad, wait till you go toe to toe with the Chinese... |

| They're not ahead, they're just different. Because 25% of the population plays one game says what? Here in the USA you have millions of people playing millions of different games...not just a few select ones. What does that mean?...not much. However yu choose to turn it into a USA bash-fest in regard to online gamers. Yes, the Koreans have more PC "bangs" in one square mile than we have Starbucks within all 50 states, but it's their mentality of working together for one common cause that has made games like Lineage successful over there. I would love to have three full-time online gaming cable network channels dedicated to LAN tournaments with interviews and LIVE coverage of match-ups like they have. Why are so many FPS games over here so popular?....because individuality rules, and is accepted. Is one right and the other wrong?.....absokutely not. Why you choose to make such a contrast maybe helps you ward off your own insecurities whatever they may be. I admire what the Koreans have accomplished becasue they have achieved something very different from us, not better...just different. |

I have been playing Puzzle Pirates for a few months and thoroughly enjoy the game....you can play on the free ocean (Viridian) or on any one of 3 different subscription oceans (Ice (a new ocean),Midnight or Cobalt).I have gotten so hooked on the game I'm now Captain of a crew with 5 ships and a King of my own flag.
This game is a must for those looking for a cool game....it's basic so it can be boring but there's plenty to do (ie. spades,drinking contests,swordfights,pillaging,missions,brawls,spades and hearts).Check it out....my pirate name is the same as this login so if your in the game gimme a hollar!:D |
