Great game that misses the mark – Pirate Empire Review

Overall, great and addicting game. However, can’t give it anything above 2 stars for all the flaws, see below: 1. Customer Service Support is a complete joke. If, and I do mean if, you receive a response...it’s useless 99% of the time. 2. Error correction is slow, if non existent, from support after releases. 3. There is no competitive balance in the game on older servers. 4. Some players of the game receive early release information allowing them to prepare themselves and their guild prior to the upgrade, thus leading to the lack of competitive balance. 5. In New World, there are so many players that have multiple accounts and surrounds their main account, using the alternate accounts to mine for resources. Support’s response to this is, it doesn’t break their terms of service. Amazing that they wouldn’t care about this. 6. At a minimum you pay a ‘discounted rate’ of $200 for certain ship skins to upgrade your stats...pretty steep cost in order to compete in the game. And that’s just for one ship skin. In order to improve the rating of this game, the above items should be addressed. I wouldn’t recommend anyone starting the game unless a brand new server is just launched, otherwise you will never catch up to the strength of anyone who has been playing for a while without mortgaging your house.
