     In a move of Vanguard proportions, Flying Labs are merging the 11 dedicated servers for their MMOG Pirates of the Burning Sea to four.  This from the official website:

When Pirates of the Burning Sea launched on January 22nd, we introduced our customers to 11 new game servers. Through feedback from our players and evaluation […]

     I had a few days off work so I managed to revisit a few MMOG as well as try a new one so I thought I would give a quick round up of my experiences.

EVE Online – I downloaded the free trial and the subsequent graphics update.  Firstly let me start by saying that […]
