MMOBomb Staff Posted: April 27, 2012

KingsIsle Entertainment unveils Pirate101, the brand new MMORPG from KingsIsle Entertainment, makers of Wizard101. The game promises heart-pounding, swashbuckling excitement as players take the helm of their very own pirate ships and pursue a storyline of epic adventure filled with intrigue and mystery.

Pirate101 is a free to play MMO Pirate adventure game with flying ships, board game combat and far off worlds that's safe for kids and fun for players of all ages! The game allows players to create their own Pirate to sail through the Skyway in hopes of treasure and daring quests. Pirate101 features five classes, hundreds of quests, Pirate Crews, fully-voiced characters, customizable ships and much more.

Pirate101 is currently in closed Alpha testing. The game will launch later this year as a free-to-play download at www.pirate101.com. As Wizard101, players will be able to access premium areas of the game by purchasing a monthly subscription or using Crowns, KingsIsle’s virtual currency.

I play wizard101 and you do get free areas you can level up all the way to 80. If you can only go to the free areas it just takes longer. You don't need to buy a subscription you can go to Walmart, target, GameStop and buy a pre paid card for the game.

if we look at wizard101, it will another pay2win crap that hides behind f2p

This is actually not a free-to-play. Their form of free-to-play is a very short Demo. The whole thing is a subscription based game. If I can remember you can only level to 6 only.

For more information go to: https://www.wizard101.com/game/help-faq and see Billing Questions. They even got the balls to tell you," Hah, we've tricked you. It's a trial." But they didn't say that actually.

Rant aside, The game does give a very good quality experience and does hold up people's interest from young to even old people; parents. But only if you pay.

From what i've been told, wizard 101 was pay2win on the verge of pay2play and it was aimed for 7 year olds, not my ideal mmo.

I enjoyed Wizard101 quite a bit the game play was very enjoyable I just did not like the theme to much but that was easy to look past about the only thing that turned me off from it was the pay2win aspect of it

Is it me or does it look like wizard 101 but with flying ship battles? i mean it has the instanced battles, its kid friendly, the only difference is that it is pirates not wizards. It would be ironic if they made Ninja 101 i might actually download if it is not as kiddy as wizard 101 or if it had a different name.....OR if they didnt make fun of the fricking asian cultrue
