Calling All Testers - Test Updates
Just released to the Test Server - a new update to Pirates Online! If you have access to the Test Server, log on now and check out these new features and enhancements:
Revive Option! This new feature allows Pirates the ability to revive other Pirates and keep them from being carted off to jail by the Navy when pirates are knocked "unconscious" during battle.
Ship Holds have also been expanded - thanks to the hardworking shipwrights, now all ships can carry more cargo!
Basic members! Now play in full screen from day one!
Players can now skip the tutorial after creating a Pirate.
These and many other improvements to the game have just been introduced on Test and are coming to the Live servers by the end of the month. Pirates, please give us your feedback regarding the Revive Option as well as any other features you may have tested ... the development team is eagerly awaiting your feedback!
Most Enemies Defeated Competition
We're looking for a few good Pirates. No actually we're looking for an entire guild of them. Strong Pirates, with a stout heart, able minds ... who are we kidding, your guild needs to be tough as nails and ready to take on the most ferocious challenge the Caribbean can offer. We need strong guilds to help turn the tide, to help face down Jolly Roger, the EITC and whatever other mayhem may be coming our way -- does your guild have what it takes?
When: July 17, and running until July 26
What: We'll be looking for the guild that have defeated the most enemies, sunk the most ships and beat back the baddest baddies. Of course, larger guilds have an edge -- so if you're not in a strong guild, remember, you can join with smaller guilds or a larger one if you don't think your current guild can get the job done. Your reward, Recognition mate! You'll be featured here on the Pirates website and your guild will become legends in the Caribbean! Plus, you could play a part in future world-changing battles!
PLEASE NOTE: Competing Guild Masters and Guild Officers must not have any account violations for the past 60 days. The guild should also have at least 75% of their members in good standing, with no account violations.
Player Spotlight - Pretty Polly
This month we spotlight Pretty Polly. Polly is an very experienced level 40 Pirate that has been sailing in the Caribbean since Pirates first arrived here in the islands. Pretty Polly is a Founder who helped lead raids on EITC ships in the battle off Padres Del Fuego, but she's also willing to lend a helping hand to Pirate to complete a quest or take on other adventure. We salute Pretty Polly of the McRaging and Founders Guild.
Got a pirate or guild you think is worthy of the spotlight? Tell us their tale! Include the Pirate's name, level and guild affiliation. To recommend a guild, include the guild name, number of members and make sure to tell us a little about them.
