Have you ever played:
-Sid Meier's Pirates! (old and new)
-Uncharted Waters
-Sea Dogs
-Pirates of the Caribbean
-Age of Pirates
This is Voyage Century Online
Voyage Century
(Yes, the site is pretty Engrishy)
(Lackluster archived thread:
http://archives.somethingawful.com/...hreadid=1652378)
Is this game in English?
YES
What can I do?
- Trade (Supply/Demand system)
- Craft (Weapons/Clothes/Ships/Figureheads/etc)
- Resource Collecting (Lumber/Ore/Plants)
- Naval Battles
- Character Battles
- Exploration
- Treasure hunting (there are treasure maps)

More information here:
Voyage Century
More specifically, what jobs are there?
- Warrior Guild (Battling/Warfare)

You are NOT limited by your guild. In fact, you can be a member of all the guilds if you choose to.
Is this another grind?
I don't really notice it since everything is skill based therefore all experience is earned through your actions. It is similar to UO's skill system in a way.
Can you have a party/have a clan?
Yes

Wait there are only 1000 slots? How do I sign up for a closed alpha account?
"Closed" alpha started on December 8th, but they have been pretty lax about letting new people in.
[as stated on [url]http://startgame.voyagecenturyonline.com][/url]
Just send an email to
[email protected] asking for an account.
They should reply with your Game ID and Password fairly quickly.
Note: I don't know how long they will keep giving accounts away so apply quickly.
Where can I download the client (~1.7GB)?

FAQ:
MOST ASKED QUESTION: WHAT DO I PUT IN THE EMAIL FOR AN ACCOUNT?!
-Example:
--Subject:"VCO Alpha Account Request"
--Message:"May I please get a Game ID and Password if there is still room in the alpha? Thanks."
Where do each of the characters start?
-The left two (Male/Female) start in Athens.
-The right two (Male/Female) start in Alexandria.
What's the difference between Athens and Alexandria?
-Nothing except starting town and appearance.
-Athens is closer to more cities, but also to pirates.
-Alexandria is more isolated, but safer from pirates.
-You can still group with one another.
THE MAJORITY OF THE GOON FORCE IS NEAR ATHENS
Everything is running absurdly fast! I am on a dual core PC, what do I do?
-Shingin had this problem and fixed it by turning off one of his cores for the game.
This control interface is weird. How do I change it?
-Open up the System Menu (CTRL+Q)
-Click Operation
-Set the options like so:
--1st
--3rd
--1st
Now you have it so left click is movement/selection while right click controls camera movement.
How do I change the game resolution?
-Go to your <install directory>/voyage
-Open Core.ini and edit it.
-full_screen = 0 (Toggles full screen/windowed)
-screen_x = 1280
-screen_y = 1024
-; options are commented out so ignore them.
I get this weird empty dialog box after completing the tutorial and landing in town. What do I do?
-This is a known bug so just relog and it should go away.
I finished the tutorial, but I'm still lost. HELP!
-Make sure you finish choosing a guild and to RECONSTRUCT YOUR SHIP FITTING THE NEEDS OF YOUR CHARACTER (DOUBLE CLICK THE ICON TO SELECT IT - DON'T JUST CHOOSE THE TAB). Don't reconstruct to a warship when you are going the Merchant route
-After doing that, speak to your respective guild leader and complete some quests/tasks for some starting experience and coin.
I hate clicking every time to fire. Is it possible to automatically fire?
-Yes. Go to your Instruction menu (CTRL+A), go to the At Sea tab, right click Automatic Firing to toggle it.
