If you are an RPG fan your choices are usually limited to fantasy or futuristic settings. At best there is a sporadic game here and there that offers role playing fans a chance to be a modern day character or perhaps a history inspired adventurer. With MMOs the choices are even more limited. Title after title has us battling dragons and sorcerers, with the occasional jump into the future where goblins are replaced by aliens and spells by rifles (for some reason swords tend to stay swords). So you can imagine how much interest Pirates of the Burning Sea generated when the authors promised this Caribbean based MMO. Heck, the game deserves a chance purely because of its unique setting. But is that all it has going for itself, or does it offer more?
