Why does everyone think this is a Pirate game!

[jfoytek]

So the game has Ships with sails.... But there were many ships with sails that were not pirates, infact most ships with sails were not pirates!

Its an MMORPG, not sea of thieves, surely there are players that want to be cargo hauling merchants, and players who want to be on the land farming, or players who want to fish....

But yet everyone wants to generalize this game as the Pirate MMO.... Maybe I am strange but it seems odd to dumb it all down to the small generalization of one group within the game...

I have no doubts there will be pirates but I doubt there will only be pirates!

Cause its a pirate game.

From the creators of ARK: Survival Evolved comes ATLAS - a massively multiplayer first-and-third-person fantasy pirate adventure.

Pirate is most entertaining choice of profession. Sure you can choose to be prey, I mean a merchant, but it will likely be as exciting as running merchant missions in Sea.

YARRRRRRR!!! and a bottle'a rum...

Pirate - A pirate is a person who commits acts of piracy at sea without the authorization of any nation.

Most of the battles will be at sea. You are attacking another ship for the loot.... yea perfectly engage in the pirate section.

READ THE DESCRIPTION

I am most definately real....

And I most definately plan to create a thriving merchant republic, and found a navy that hunts pirates down....

I am just saying that a Sandbox can be whatever the players make it, so narrowing the description down to something so narrow seems like a bad choice.... The Pirate MMO makes it sound like there is nothing to do on land...

maybe I am the only person who is thinking about this but I would want to describe my MMO as something far more Broad.

Atlas, go forth and build an empire! Create City States, Create "Country's" Or create a pirate republic its your choice!
