Is this another grind?

"Closed" alpha started on December 8th, but they have been pretty lax about letting new people in.

Just send an email to voyagecentury@gmail.com asking for an account.
They should reply with your Game ID and Password fairly quickly.
Note: I don't know how long they will keep giving accounts away so apply quickly.

Where can I download the client (~1.7GB)?

FAQ:
MOST ASKED QUESTION: WHAT DO I PUT IN THE EMAIL FOR AN ACCOUNT?!
-Example:
--Subject:"VCO Alpha Account Request"
--Message:"May I please get a Game ID and Password if there is still room in the alpha? Thanks."

Where do each of the characters start?
-The left two (Male/Female) start in Athens.
-The right two (Male/Female) start in Alexandria.

What's the difference between Athens and Alexandria?
-Nothing except starting town and appearance.
-Athens is closer to more cities, but also to pirates.
-Alexandria is more isolated, but safer from pirates.
-You can still group with one another.

THE MAJORITY OF THE GOON FORCE IS NEAR ATHENS

Everything is running absurdly fast! I am on a dual core PC, what do I do?
-Shingin had this problem and fixed it by turning off one of his cores for the game.

This control interface is weird. How do I change it?
-Open up the System Menu (CTRL+Q)
-Click Operation
-Set the options like so:
--1st
--3rd
--1st
Now you have it so left click is movement/selection while right click controls camera movement.

How do I change the game resolution?
-Go to your /voyage
-Open Core.ini and edit it.
-full_screen = 0 (Toggles full screen/windowed)
-screen_x = 1280
-screen_y = 1024
-; options are commented out so ignore them.

I get this weird empty dialog box after completing the tutorial and landing in town. What do I do?
-This is a known bug so just relog and it should go away.

I finished the tutorial, but I'm still lost. HELP!
-Make sure you finish choosing a guild and to RECONSTRUCT YOUR SHIP FITTING THE NEEDS OF YOUR CHARACTER (DOUBLE CLICK THE ICON TO SELECT IT - DON'T JUST CHOOSE THE TAB). Don't reconstruct to a warship when you are going the Merchant route
-After doing that, speak to your respective guild leader and complete some quests/tasks for some starting experience and coin.

I hate clicking every time to fire. Is it possible to automatically fire?
-Yes. Go to your Instruction menu (CTRL+A), go to the At Sea tab, right click Automatic Firing to toggle it.

I will refuse all pending guild applications from people who have no posted their character name in this thread.

If you're waiting for an elusive spot in Pirates of the Burning Sea or Uncharted Waters Online to get localized, give this a try.

[morrisd]

it looks cool.i will try

[morrisd]

Ok I am going to explain my concept and I am going to explain the journy I am going to take to become a pirate.

First thing I did was find a list to see where I upgrade my ships and make sure that as a pirate I don't piss those guys off.. Ever.. So you find out what nation they are in and do not under any circumstance attack thier trading vessels so when you go into thier town they don't kill you.

Secondly on of my post a good fellow posted the ships available through pretty much all the levels. This means you can see the level 10 ships and know what direction you need to go in.

I am presonally going to go the adventure route. Besides the fact that it is more ralistic there are certain things to keep in mind when going that way. Now mind you this comes from someone who has never fought another player with a level 10 ship. Here is the list.

Level 10 Adventure Ship
Giant Armored Oared Sailboat
Hull Durability Increases 12800
Sail Durability Increases 24400
Loading Capacity Increases 1100.00
Square Sail Propulsion Increases 70.00
Oar Propulsion Increases 27.00
Maximum Sailor Amount Increases 600
Maximum Cannon Amount Increases 54
Ship Turning Degree 12.00
Sail Type Giant Armored Oared Sailboat
Requires Maneuverability Level 95

This is the ship I would be using at level 10. It will have 54 cannons plus whatever my ornament gives me. It has low hull unfortunatly a little less then half of a battle ship and a little more then half of a merchant ship. A merchant ship is going to have 20 cannons and a battleship is going to have 200 cannons base. However an adventure ship is going to carry 600 men while the battle ship only carries 385 and to add to that you as an adventure ship will have ore propultion so if you get him lined up against the wind it should not be all that crazy to stay in a blind spot long enough to board him. Even more so with merchant ships. If they use that 160 buckshot cannon i would guess an adventure ship could withstand enough damage to get up into them however if you fail to grapple i somehow doubt that you will get away hehe. Regardless I will probably have the run away from any battleship motto.

Another thing to keep in mind, don't piss off pirate factions. In other words to stand in those cretes killing pirtes or doing the warrior quests or you will have to work it back up. I am on the boat of having to work it back up which I know can be done but it is a hassle that you shouldn't have to worry about by just not screwing up in the first place.

My intentions are to focus heavy on boarding just in case I have to fight a battleship for some odd reason (i should be able to run away from them just fine) and focus on cannons just in case i have to deal with a pesky merchant that I would rather sink.

Currently I have a level 2 battleship and a level 2 merchant ship that I use to make money and up my cannon skills. I will be purchasing a level 2 adventurer ship after I am done posting as with my merchant ship money has not been an issue at all.

I would suggest anyone who starts playing this game do as you do in EVE get a merchant ship and start trading. Do all the trading quests and there are plenty-o-merchant guides. Pick one and follow it as they are all good. You will have money comming out your rear end in no time.

So wish me luck, I will update the post as I go along with more info. I am just getting started and those are the suggestions I would have for anyone else starting as a pirate.
