AOP2 "City of Abandoned Ships" website live
 

Playlogic has launched a new site for the forthcoming Akella/Seaward.ru game ""Age of Pirates 2: City of the Abandoned Ships.

Correct me if I am wrong - but the original AoP had starforce didn't it?

I ask because I am considering picking up a copy of AoP - and AoP2 looks really interesting - but I am not a starforce fan. Hopefully they go with a different scheme.

Is this game out?

Yes, it's out and it's buggy. Well, not as buggy as AOP 1.. but there are some issues that'll make you uninstall it and wait for a patch.

Just did a search and there is a 1.2 but its russian only it appears..... still - may have to research and see if its any good!

AOP2 ver 1.3.0 hit the shelves June 3rd 2009 here in the US.

I love this copied over POTC game. A lot of the maps are dressed up copies of POTC but with the 1.3.0 ver. I have not yet crashed and have 35 hours of real time involved. ( game keeps track of your real time. )

Get ready to step ashore.

Pretty cool Captain von Keldunk but since I've only had this AOP2 ver.1.3.0 since June 4th I'm going to stick to the vanilla for now. There's just too much to learn before committing to a Mod, but time will tell.

Besides I'm still trying to keep these darn mosquitoes off me. :rotfl:

Also getting ready to upgrade the ole computer to really whop those bad guys. :arrgh!:

BFG GF 9600 GT OC 512MB PCIe graphic card:
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...aphiccard4.jpg

But before that there is a new Asus M3N78 PRO GeForce 8300 HDMI Hybrid SLI Motherboard with a Phenom X4 9500 4M Socket AM2 CPU, 8GB Ram, 680 watt PS,etc. Not the best but it will do for a couple more years ( I hope ). :yep:

Hello:DL
Hope your PC upgrade works ok.
About Smuggler mod, one can use it as easy introduction to aop2 coas.
Myself I have potc, aop, and now aop2 coas.
With extra p.i.r.a.t.e.s points one do not die in first fight, and has time
to learn sword fights tricks. Same goes for sea battles, instead of large
pirate armadas, there are only one or two Scooners or lugger, so you have
time to learn sea battle tricks.
Now for experieced player like me who has seen it all.
Smuggler mod is a playing style mod. Smugglin keeps my ship and crew
in food and rom and repairs etc.Colonial Schooner rig works with
wind direction like real sails do, not perfect, but good enough for me.
I have owned a sailin boat. For Weather, sea enviroment I tried to make
waves look a bit like SH3/SH4. but there are a lot to improve,
most important thing to do is for "wind/wave" to have a same direction.
Here is a link to website that is for "pirates" like what subsim is for "subs."
Pirates Ahoy http://forum.piratesahoy.net//index.php?act=idx
I am known as Captain Hawk there.:arrgh!::woot:

nice game thanks for the post...........................

So what's the deal with this game?

According to Wikipedia it was released in May 2009, but Game still have it for pre-order (With no release date listed) while Play seem to have no iodea of it's existence, and Amazon say it's currently unavailable, and they've no idea if or when it will be available again. WTF?

Yes, I dont think it was ever released in the UK I had one one order from Gameplay for about a year before I gave up and managed to find an imported US copy on Amazon marketplace. I believe it was also released to digital distribution recently. If you can find one snap it up quickly because the publisher Playlogic went bankrupt yesterday so a UK release now is definitely out of the picture.

Ahoy mates,

Yeah, I got mine as digital download from Gamersgate back in March.:yeah: I couldn't find a hard copy anywhere in Aus. :hmmm:

Cheers :arrgh!:

Is AoP2 better than Sea Dogs? I have Sea Dogs, which is the first game in the series and I never bought any of the sequels because people said they dumbed it down for Disney.
