If you really want to play a free game about pirates while you are waiting to play PotBS like I am, you should try to play puzzle pirates. Although it may sound kiddish it is really quite fun and addicting, you can buy your own ship and do PvP battle with it if you win you get more money with wich you can decorate your house or your ship. And instead of the standard lvling up system you have skills like carpenting, swordfighting, sailing, cannoning, etc. and to get to the next lvl, you are compared with everybody else the same lvl as you and there are lvls of experience like advanced neophyte, it sounds complicated but once you see how its set up its really quite easy. Andyou can also own your own shop in port towns. The fighting is as you can tell by the name of the game puzzles. The puzzles are like arcade games with a twist, like the one where you shoot balls from you little turret things and then hit other one and make them dissapear, and swordfighting is a modified version of tetris and many other puzzles to, and dont not play because of the graphics once you start its hard to stop.
The reason I didnt post this on the Puzzle Pirates Forum is 1 They already know what its about , 2 this is a much more populated forum that forum only has 3 topics in all. and I think you people who are waiting for a pirate game would want to play another pirate game. And If you do decide to play could you please say that you were recommended by:

And this isnt just so you recomend me and I get money its because I want to see If other people waiting so long for PotBS would take a break and play another pirate game for the wait. And there are over 2 million people that play just saying.

Sid Meyer's Pirates! for the PC is actually a remake of and older game made by Microprose. It came out for Commodore 64 and Atari and later the Amiga 500 also got its hands on the game and the superior colour&graphics settings of the Amiga combined with the nearly endless replayability made it an instant classic.

About Puzzle Pirates, I found it a little boring but it is still a nice game...
GW- Warrior lvl18 - Monk lvl4
SWG- Left after they ruined it
WoW- Left after 2 years
EVE- Left after three days
Pirates of the Burning Sea will be the cure to my cancer.
Pirate games don't grow on trees sadly. You might want to check out Tropico 2: Pirate Cove.
It's something so strange as a Pirate strategy game. You build a pirate island, have to keep your pirates happy with booze, gambling, women etc, keep your captives in constant fear so they work hard and don't run away. Equip and send out ships to raid for gold. All while stashing away as much as possible for yourself.
The game has both good and bad sides, on the bad side the game becomes repetitive and tedius fairly fast. On the good side it has very good pirate mood, specialy good music (I went so far as to buy the music cd).

I still play uncharted waters:new horizons, an old pirate game on the sega genesis console and super nintendo.
Way old school but still fun
Sid Myers Pirates! Is a kewl game, think original was better, see it now at stores for about $20 US. I'd recomend it for some Pirateing fun. Puzzle Pirates Free? last i saw was monthly Sub. Oh and Pirates was also on Sega where I first played it. It's also out for xbox. visit www.firaxis.com
I love Sid Meier's Pirates! and have just started playing again. Also, I picked up this other pirate game called Age of Pirates: Caribbean Tales, but it was released in very poor shape. This is the successor to Pirates of the Caribbean, and Sea Dogs before that. It's got a lot of bugs and is incomplete. Luckily, a very dedicated modder is doing more to improve the game than the developers are!
If you are interested in AoP, I don't say I didn't warn you. This game needs some hefty patching and needs some features originally promised to be added before I'd recommend it. Even still, it was very playable for me right out of the box, so nothing was game-stopping, but there is enough to frustrate you if you don't look to the community for help.
*** Also very important I need to mention, is that Age of Pirates: Caribbean Tales includes Star Force portection. If I knew this beforehand, I would not have purchased it. I'm not a Star Force fan.
I am really anxious for PotBS, and even more now that I heard that Flying Labs are working on an Avatar combat system (if this is really true or not, I don't know, I heard through the grapevine).
You can also play sub oceans for free, but there are restrictions. Most of which are similar to not having the appropriate 'badges' on a doub ocean.
