Welcome to the Burning Sea!

The servers are live with version 1.22.40.1. See Patch Notes tab for details.

We will be publishing build 1.22.42.0 to our live servers on Tuesday, February 9th, between 1:30am and 5:00am Pacific / 9:30am – 1:00pm GMT / 20:30 – midnight AEDT.
 
This is a bug-fix patch that fixes a crash that could occur when you had a chat message bound to a toolbar button.

you can now transfer your characters from Blackbeard, Defiant and Rackham to Antigua and Roberts. Blackbeard, Defiant and Rackham will be retired on March 5th, 2010. See burningsea.com/m22 for details.

The two major features in 1.22 are Active Nation Selection and National Player Faction.

If you plan to transfer characters to Antigua or Roberts, then you should wait until your transfers are complete before you choose your active nation.

Tip of the day: If you’re experiencing crashes on zoning, remove chats from your toolbar. (If you have done “/addtotoolbar 2 /nation hi” then remove that and you won’t crash.)
