As many of you know, Phase 2 of the Pirates Online Beta test began on September 24 and we're continuing to receive some great feedback! If you registered to participate in the Beta, but still haven't received an invitation, don't worry; we'll be adding more testers throughout the Beta process.

You guys have done a fantastic job of improving the game between Beta 1 and Beta 2. While there are still some improvements and bugs (though I can't find any bugs yet), I can state honestly that this is the MMO I plan to be playing for a long time.

Phase 2 is great. I like that you do not have to specialize in a weapon. In phase 1 I had trouble leveling up pistol because I was already over 15 in cutlass and notoriety. Now it is based on just the weapon. Great change. I love the enemy ships now. In phase 1 I stopped sailing because it was boring. Now they fight back.

Pirates Online is, in my belief, one of the best free MMORPGs out there. Its fun and many of the skills can be picked up easily. I like the idea of sailing at sea. It is good how players can't attack other players unless on a PVP game.

I prefer phase 2 by far, much less lag and the enemies have more variety. True the navy's pretty tough but they were too easy in 1.

I am absolutely loving phase 2. Sailing in phase 1 was way too easy, especially the skeleton ships just sitting there and not shooting back. The sailing in phase 2 is much more challenging. I also love that we can get sailing points when sailing alone now. The interface updates are all good. Graphics updates are really good too. They've really added a lot more detail to the game.
