After nearly 3k hours played, I strongly suggest you NOT to buy this game. I don't think it's dead, but it will be soon. After hours and hours spent having fun battles, this game is becoming more and more PVE grinding activities, while RVR, the end game content, is basically dead, due to lack of interest from the devs in introducing mechanics that might fix the current situation: no port battles for months, only because joining the top dog is too convenient to even challenge yourself by joining a smaller nation than Russia.

I did not buy this game to be forced to fight against bots to keep my ports. It is just a trash way to treat your customers.

Was great fun, will probably keep playing from time to time, because community is awesome (mostly), but developers just convinced me that they don't deserve a single cent. I would define this game "heartbreaking", since the concept was great, models for the ships were too, battle in open sea were perfect, yet they managed to ruin it.
