Thanks to all of the idiots who decide to make video games from movies, with 4/10 ratings on average, I wonder how cool it would be for some immersing 9/10 MMO where there's oceans, places to trade, and you'd have to be a poor person working on someone elses ship until you work your way up the ranks on your captain's ship, then eventually be a captain yourself. Something where the damaging was realistic, correctly placed cannon fire can seriously cripple a ship, and specialized talented people could repair such damage. People on land can own shops and sell goods to ship merchants, But I think we'll only see kiddy, cartoony, versions of this if we see anything. Too bad, it'd be more appealing (to me anyway) than WoW ever will be.
Now if there was a REAL pirate game, I'd play it.

Um, there is Pirates of the Carribean MMO... as well as other pirates MMO (Pirates of the Burning Sea). In fact, i think both MMOs should be out sometime this year.
The PotC MMO is cartoon based, aimed for kids and kids in low teens. With "health bars" and no realistic damaging system. Plus is was made by disney, which is responsible for all of the 4-5/10 pirate games out there. I don't expect miracles from Disney.
PotBS seems interesting but after countless delays and 4 years of waiting, the game will be lucky to come out this year. But that does seem to be the most promising.

It was supposed to ship in June of this year but they can't find a publisher and retain control of the game.
Edit: It'd help if I provided a link.

I actually bought the Pirates game for one of my groomsmen as part of his "perk" package. I'll have to ask him how it is next time I see him
I don't want an MMO, and I'm not even interested in realistic damage or whatnot, but I seriously would buy "Pimps at Sea" if Bungie decided to actually make it instead of making it a yearly April Fool's Day gag.
Seriously, I'd play a game with a 70's style pimp running his own pirate ship.

I haven't played it, but I've heard Tropico 2: Pirate's Cove is a good pirate game. It's a sim, not an action game, but it looks good to me.
