This was my first online game and my first "real" game. This was where I learned to type, where I made my best friends and my happiest memories. The best birthday present I ever got was when I sneakily logged on during the day and discovered mom and dad had bought me a VIP subscription. I played for hours every day until they shut the doors and there's a part of me that remembers being twelve years old and roaming the Caribbean as the happiest days of my life. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

@@douglasduda9826 There is a ton of SWG Emulators all running different updates, plus some that add new things. They are pretty populated too.

This game was great, and I was happy to see that Sea of Thieves did a collab with Pirates as it gave me the warm fuzzies back to this game. I'm glad to see someone trying to save this game like the groups did with City Of Heroes after NCSoft shut down it's servers and refused to sell the code. Just further proof a good game won't die easily.

[@stockloc]

This game was the original Sea of Thieves for me as a kid. I loved going to the parlor and playing poker. There was just something about playing inn games while a whole in-game world was living and breathing around you that made it a unique experience. Unfortunate that a lot of modern MMO's don't understand the magic involved with that.

[@RobbinRams]

[@Psythik]

Bruh, *Crysis* came out the same year this game did. Even for 2007, Pirates Online looks incredibly dated.

[@FutaCatto2]

@@Psythik Crysis was not an MMO. Unlike MMOs, Crysis did not have to render multiple players in an open world. Even by today's standards, all we have is Sea of Thieves and that game looks cartoonish for a reason. If you want an example of an MMO made with Cry Engine, you can take Star Citizen for example, a buggy mess with no release date on sight.

[@MaxLeveled]

Thank you for covering this! Pirates Online was an integral part of my childhood and I had no idea it was revived like this! Thanks for not only drawing this to my attention but also for introducing this to a wider audience, see you all out there!

[@TSPxEclipse]

I remember playing this back sometime between 2007 and 2009. Little fuzzy on exactly when, but I was just a boy back then. For me, it's like baby's first MMORPG. The nostalgia from playing the remake is absolutely cathartic, especially since now I can actually progress more in the game than I ever could. The original POTCO had this dumb subscription system and no stores around me ever sold the little gift card things, so the furthest I ever got was somewhere around getting the voodoo doll. I only wish there weren't a max of like 300 people online when I get on the game, I remember Port Royal being filled with dozens of players each either killing NPC's, chatting, helping newbies... now I'll see another player maybe once every 30min and most of the time it's just a brief encounter going opposite directions. Huge thanks to the team behind TLOPO for bringing my childhood back within reach. Also, let's be very clear: I chose this game over Skull and Bones, Sea of Thieves, and even replaying Black Flag. Loving it!

[@cendresaphoenix1974]

I was very very young at the time and had no Idea what I was doing whatsoever but let me tell you I loved every single second!

[@BloodDripss]

the team behind this game is by far the BEST fan dev team on the 7 seas. they have been adding NEW CONTENT to the game that was CUT from the original, back in its intended glory, PLUS AI fixes and loading fixes, events, new items and weapons, all originally intended to be in the full game but cut due to lack of care by disney! this is worth your time to play, if only to relive the magic that this game offered in its glory days. very grateful to team TLoPO

[@Kagarin05]

It's nice to see that so many MMOs have returned from the grave in the wake of their eventual closure. Seeing you play this and Warhammer: Age of Reckoning in an earlier episode was greatly enjoyable. I've debated about checking this game out long ago before it closed, since there's not a whole lot of Age-Of-Sail style games and RPGs out there, and sometimes I just get that itch to be a pirate that needs scratched.

[@razalin]

I played the original game back in 2007 and it was crazy that they shut it down. The Legends of Pirates Online is a testament to how passionate the fanbase is, to the point where the community rebuilt the game back up again and released it for FREE. It's still one of the best pirate games ever made. With the remake a lot of the bugs have been removed and also new features have been added by the moderators, it's great to see. The game is a lot of fun and pretty hilarious at times. I have to agree that the land-based content can seem a pretty grindy, but if you play with other people, it's a lot more engaging. The ship combat on the other hand is absolutely BONKERS. LOL. Especially if you have a busy servers and most people are out at sea engaging in ship combat, it's insane and awesome how crazy it can get. lol. Great times for sure. The player numbers have never really been super high, it's really more of a fan project for the passionate fans of the original game, but if you can get a group of people to play with, it can still be a lot of fun. 💪

[@julialancer3611]

My brother and I use to be OBSESSED with this game as kids. So many great memories with this game!

[@1safeguard]

I remember, as a kid, getting in with a ship crew that were much more experienced than I in the game. I felt so lucky that each time we went out on the sea I was getting so much experience and money. It was a little moment of childhood MMO magic that I remember being so excited about. I had similar feelings when I would find friends in Toon Town as well.

[@shawnburs601]

For anyone watching there is a decent amount of end-game content to do in this game (both original and added by tlopo). It is quite a grind to get there tho. Playing with a guild and doing random stuff is really fun though! I come back to this game every few months, hopefully i see some of you on the seas :)

Two of my fondest memories of this game are that one time when the invisible walls bugged out and I was able to swim from one island to another. And another time when I somehow fell off the ship mid combat. This was one of my favorite games as a child, and I'm glad to see it's still going strong.

Doesn't matter that you are essentially using a big gun on living humans, those humans are on a boat and deserve whats coming to them!

[@ripvanwinkler1548]

That's because this game was developed back in the day where it was still heavily frowned upon to shoot other humans in games. Everyone used to crap on GTA because of how violent they were. And with how much of it is in games today, people wonder why there's school shooters and nutjobs who are all under the age of 25. It's because of this!

Man me and my brother played this game in beta in like 2006 all the way until it shut down. At first it was pretty barren and extremely bare bones. There used to not be a looting aspect so essentially the sword you started with and the gun were the only 2 weapons you could obtain. Eventually they changed it and added in different armor you could change, and different weapon models that dropped from NPCs. It definitely wasn't pushing the envelope of MMO gameplay but it was entertaining enough that it kept us playing. I'm really happy to see someone brought it back
