    Although f2p, I also bought the Premium pack plus the Voyager's Limited Edition pack from Steam, thinking to get started faster in the game. They don't, or if they do, poor f2p-ers. But after days of playing, I'm only getting close to being able to use the new boat in the Voyager's Limited Edition, and no where close to using the cheques (Ducats).

They don't, or if they do, poor f2p-ers. But after days of playing, I'm only getting close to being able to use the new boat in the Voyager's Limited Edition, and no where close to using the cheques (Ducats). I love the openness of the game, sailing, nice music (will even not complain too much of the basic graphics). But being able to only do one quest at a time is painful (one school quest took me 90 minutes to complete, and just within the local region, not going from Europe to Asia or anything, with meagre returns too). Reading up on crafting and trading is advised, again levelling is slow. School (tutorials I guess) quests are worth doing, but the slight story quests in the game seem like an afterthought and brings nothing to it. Also, unless you pay, you cannot use global chat a serious deterrent to finding help for anything unless you join a company (which in itself is hit and miss). School chat is free, so there's always the option of not finishing the school quests, a bit silly. In the end, it gets the 7/10 because it's a nice, sit back and relax style of play, at your own pace, but I REALLY wish in early game you could take 3 quests at a time, not just one. I will continue to play one quest at 1-2 hours each week, the sailing is great fun, some towns have fun music. I reckon in about 3 years time my XP/fame should be enough to use the cheques I bought in the packs!… Expand

    I used to love this game before I realised how morally wrong it feels to reenact the centuries of colonisation, genocide and oppression for fun. I haven't played it since.

    Certainly there are some similar games out there, but of them all I'd have to say UWO is a diamond among the rest of the common jewels.
