New Game Updates on Test
Pirates Online keeps getting better! And we need your help to test a huge update we've just released to the Test Server. If you have access to the Test Server log in now! If you don't have access, be patient - we'll be sending out more Test Server Invitations to players in good standing very soon. Plus, these great new features are coming to the Live game very soon:
Jolly Roger's Undead Invasion. Pirates must keep Jolly Roger's undead skeleton army from invading Port Royal! We're running this event randomly several times a day but this is just for testing purposes. When the Invasions start in the Live game, Jolly Roger won't keep to a schedule or invade daily.
- Tips for Surviving the Invasion:
- - Divide and Conquer. Crew up then spread out to defend all the attack points. Jolly's army attacks the town from three locations: 1) The main dock 2) the bridge in the center of town and 3) Port Royal beach (where the shipwright Darby Drydock is located).
- - Experiencing Lag? Close ALL programs beside Pirates Online, this includes any IM application or a web browser. Try a 'Quiet' or 'Ideal' server. Try lowering your graphics settings.
Townsfolk and enemies now notice players and react accordingly. These plus other great new features are now on Test.
We're working to resolve issues that have already been reported, but if you find any issue related to gameplay while on the Test Server please report it here.
