Ok, don't get me wrong, I know its disney, but I had to look into it and it seems like an awesome game, I have yet to download it and play it (I'm going to bed soon so I might download it tonight) but from the commercial I saw on adult swim tonight and reading about it on their site it sounds really fun.
I really don't have much to say at this point, but do any of you play it?
Is it really any good? (though I will find out for myself tomorrow)
Have you even herd of it?
What are your opinions from what is on the site?

i recomended it to my woman who claims she wants to get into gamz but every time i buy her one she puts in in the corner.
worked well for me....bought a wii for us last year for around 230 bucks....then sold it this past december for 500 when she decided she didn't play it enough for it to be worth keeping .... cha-ching! bought me a ps3...

I downloaded the game and you know I was honestly starting to really get into the whole thing, until I found out about the whole unlimited access thing.
I can't honestly see how anyone could possibly think this was worth paying a monthly subscription for. If the entire game was available free, with all the quests and items I'd fully recommend it. It would be easily the best free MMORPG out there, but a free account has such limited options you can't advance very far, and the game is in no way worth paying money for. I've never even played its rival Pirate MMORPG, and I can almost certainly be sure it has better visuals, gameplay, and depth than this. It has to...because this is kind of pathetic.

Seems like a pretty hastily thrown together MMO. Not the worst thing ever and not particularly special in any way, just really really average. Graphics are outdated, but not terrible. Gameplay isn't awful, but nothing that really sticks out. It's like the vanilla of video games. Nothing really awful about it, just really forgettable.
Certainly nothing I'd ever pay money for. Disney should just make the game completely free, just slap a few ads on it.

oh man, don't waste your time with pirates of the burning sea either guys. I went ahead out of curiosity and tried the game out and it sucks just as bad. It just doesn't look quite as cheap.

Ya, the graphics are fantastic on PotBS, but the game is quite boring and repetitive. The gameplay mechanics really aren't all that different from PotC, it's just a bit more in-depth and not dumbed down for little kids. Outside of that, it's still a pretty bland MMO.
I was specifically disappointed in how poorly the on-foot gameplay was in Burning Sea. There are no weather/time effects for the environment, everything is static in that regard. And the on-foot areas in general are really quite small. Plus, there's a load time for everything. In this day and age of MMO's, there should really be minimal loads throughout the game.

It's so laggy. I played for 2 minutes.
