Voyage Century Online(free)

[ryan2005]

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)

- PIRACY - OPEN PVP EVERYWHERE

More information here:Voyage Century

 

More specifically, what jobs are there?

- Warrior Guild (Battling/Warfare)

- Merchant Guild (Trade)

- Craftsmen Guild (Crafting/Resource Gathering)

- Adventurer's Guild (Exploration)

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 http://startgame.voyagecenturyonline.com]

 

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.

If you're waiting for an elusive spot in Pirates of the Burning Sea or Uncharted Waters Online to get localized, give this a try.
