Worth playing, don't expect to be transfixed

I played VC for a week or so.  I enjoyed the overall feel of the game and the innovative concept.  I will likely not play much more as I feel I have done all that I am interested in doing but don't let that stop you from trying it.  I made the mistake of setting myself up with a battleship.  While fun in fights the battleship class is a money sink and you will end up broke and regretting it.   The merchant is the way to go for big cash.



The good:

Fairly straight forward interface

Great fight mechanics, feels like a real sea battle

Decent community, willing to help a noob with a minimum of elitism

Pretty world with low end friendly graphics

Free



The bad:

Serious lack of depth

Translations are abhorrent and the quest system leaves a lot to be desired

Steep learning curve (this is due to both bad translations and a general lack of labeling)

Repitition can get boring quickly.

Travel is slow, expensive, and boring



Verdict:  GREAT game for free but don't expect to play for hours at a time and love it.  It's nice as a change of pace but it's not the kind of game you become a hermit for.

    Well  you can change jobs at anytime. You are not obliged to do just one guild's jobs. You can be with the Ares, Merchant, Adventurer and be a Pirate at the same time. Continue playing. You will enjoy it.

    well you guys ranting bout this game have almost put me out of playing it                                                                                                                  except for one thing                                                                                                                                                                                                                      im not big on quests

    sure i like it every once in a while                                                                                                                                                                                             but mostly the quests for MOST games i dun like so i just dont do all together

    so im going to start playing this game                                                                                                                                                                                    and hope my RADEON 9000 SERIES graphics card dont cause crappy-ness in any way

    cause i'd hate to have to go through with replacing it for a better one(dun wanna spend the money or do the work)

     so im oging to start playing it and do what i want and try to have fun (thats the whole perpouse)

     so i hope the ppl that like quests and hate the forums for bieng forums (and i say this cause i hate NEVER ONCE seen a forum that dont act EXACTLY like some of you are explaining)

    so...ya
