I was almost on board with Dan's dumpster diving for popcorn bags. That's like the kind of thing you always think of when you hear about places that do free refills like, "oh I wonder if you could do this and get away with it!" So in a moment of curiosity/desperation, I can see it.
But, fifty to one hundred times??? I mean, if they cost $10+ each, we could be looking at actual Grand Theft Popcorn here in total. Someone get NYPD on the horn!
This seems like a really cool foundation for a game, I hope they add some good mechanics and goals on top of it rather than it just being simply 'go explore'.
I used to love to play the game "Puzzle Pirates" which this game vaguely reminds me of as far as requiring multiple people cooperating in different roles to successfully sail a ship. That game had a lot of MMO mechanics like hauling cargo, trading, opening and managing shops, a robust economy, naval blockades and territorial warfare. If you were playing by yourself you could join someone else's crew and get paid a wage for helping them haul or pirate. I hope this game will have some mechanics like that and the ships have a purpose as more than just transportation between islands to kill mobs and get loot. The combat seems like the weakest aspect of what they've shown so far.
