Would love to see us getting some kind of ALFA group together for this game. So much to do and a lot of different factions. Even thought its a MMO its not going to be the same ol' shit like WoW or Eve. Their even allowing user custom content to be put into the game. Right now you are able to create flags and also design ships!

Check it out and discuss! You can also still sign up for the beta, too!!

Oh good... I registered in anticipation of the beta and forgot to sign up. Even if it sucks I gotta try anything based around pirates.

Sweet!

...err I mean, Arrrrgggh!

Gf, check out bethesda's blog (off topic, I know) they've put up pics of their "bloody mess" trait cake from a press event a few weeks back. I'm looking into an Oblivion or Fallout themed cake from the same place in Baltimore. If you watch Ace of Cakes, its those guys.

Yeah, I saw it. Sad that the TV show decided it was too gory to put on.

The story of the elevator reaction was awesome tho.

My mom said they mentioned it on an episode, and showed the main vaultboy cake, but didn't show the gibbed cake. In any case its cool. As for my cake, I'll be 18, so why not geek out the huge party with all my friends? I'll probably invite like 20 or 30 people, with all the friends I have in theater and band.

Any definitive word from E3 on Pirates? We still getting the "no static leveled encounters" thing where ship to ship battles from a lowbie to a veteran are possible if the lowbie has some skills?

believe so, Nek. I really didnt see that anywhere. What interested me was all combat is instanced. Towns wont be instanced. I love the idea of economically driving a faction out of a port as well as blasting their ships out of the water.

Happy 18th Nekulor.

There have been a lot of cool trailers out of E3 and I'm not usually a fan of mmo's and they don't hold my attention for very long but this looks and sounds awesome.

lol thanks helios, its about 6 months off still though. You have to order cakes from this place about 6 months- 1 year in advance.

I was watching his show on food network the other day when they made the cake for Baltimore. Had a roman candle burning at the top of the replica of the monument cake. Was very cool.
