From the official Pirates of the Burning Sea site:
"When Pirates of the Burning Sea launched on January 22nd, we introduced our customers to 11 new game servers. Through feedback from our players and evaluation of our server populations, it has become clear that key game features require populations of higher density in order to function at optimum levels. When you take into account both the disparity in player time zones and the delayed launch of our title in some countries, we were spreading our overall population too thin. Also, in more recent builds, we were able to improve our server technology to allow for an even larger population than we were originally equipped to handle.
Providing our customers with the best game play experience is our first priority. Condensing our populations will lead to a richer, more vibrant game play experience for all involved, and our customers whole-heartedly agree. The character transfer option will not be available to our Australian customers on the Invincible server."

In a new roadmap confessional, Pirates of the Burning Sea devs promised solutions to long-standing localization problems.
The next interim update for the pirate themed free to play mmo will troubleshoot the localization system and tweaks to ships and consumables.
Bigredbarrel.com - "MMOs are the abusive gaming genre that I just can’t get away from. MMOs are Ike Turner and I’m Tina Turner. They’re Bobby Brown and I’m Whitne…vermind. Since I played my first MMO in 1999, I’ve loved the genre. Leveling up, sense of community, sticking with one character and making them more powerful. It’s all good and fun. But with the success of World of Warcraft, most MMOs that come out fit into the same mold."
Guild Wars 2
Tera Online
Eve Online
Vindictus
Dragon Nest
End of nations
and a few others have already reinvented themselves with many many many next Gen MMO's in the making.
My MMO days are over. I have bought and played 95% of all P2P MMOs and found myself lacking in the accomplishment department. I am enjoying the story in SWTOR, so I hope this one will be the last. I might try Secret World since I am a fan of that type of story and gaming.
Saryk...I'm sad to say that you'll soon find yourself in the same position that I did with SW:TOR. You'll realize you're playing the same P2P MMO with a star wars skin and you'll lose interest almost over night.
Sad, but it'll happen
You're probably right. Once I am bored, no more MMOs. Not even going to try Secret World.
