Voyage Century Online, the eagerly anticipated 16th century nautical
online game from Internet Gaming Gate (IGG), began alpha testing
December 8th, and initial reports are wildly enthusiastic about the
game!
Voyage Century Online issued over 1000 alpha testing
accounts, and the feedback so far is fantastic. Comments range over a
wide variety of topics. Much of the feedback is very practical: "I
learned you should NOT try to get tossed in the clink I eventually
realized I could shoot a guard, he promptly owned me. Killing rats
will probably take longer than it would to wait out your sentence." "I
also learned that the map (ctrl+m) can be used to navigate around and
find the NPCs!" "Don't attack trade ships; the cities don't like you."
Some
players told the story of their adventures: "My plan is to see all the
cities of the world and get a map so as not to get too lost trying to
find them again." "Taiwan was the last stop seen to be owned by a
pirate, since the second I went offshore there were two ships attacking
me and I died. But fear not! I shall continue forward and see the world
"
And, overwhelmingly, the players are enthusiastic about
Voyage Century Online. One gamer wrote, "I must say after playing in
the Alpha even with the bugs encountered this game is great! We really
have to thank the team of this game they have put together something so
great and offering it to the public for free. I still don't understand
how or why they did it for free and where the money comes in to pay the
hosting and development expense but thank you and great job. So far
from my experience the game does have a small learning curve but the
amount of things you can do in this game is awesome."
