Pirates of the Burning sea looked to me, when it was in development to be one heck of a game; pirates, online, killing other pirates; it had it all, but then, somehow it didn't quite live up to what it should've done, combat was rushed and there really wasn't that much to do... and now that's being reflected in the closure of 7 servers, so that the player base can be consolidated, and the density much increased. It's unfortunate but it shows that even develops who work for year son something, cannot bring out a WoW killer...
