Community Spotlight: Ubert le Danois

07/30/2010    |    News    |    mrthetooth    |    Discuss

Our latest Community Spotlight member has been a part of the community since soon after Pirates of the Burning Sea was released. Anyone who has participated in RvR on Roberts has heard the name Ubert le Danois, especially anyone who has been part of the French nation.

Ubert has honed his skill on the open sea through over 500 Port Battles. Because Ubert loves to see the community prosper, he has shared this advice through several guides, which he has written over the years.

Ubert’s dedication to the Age of Sail extends outside the game to a pirate party (RockPiraten) that he helps host every year. In past years, this party has served as a way for Pirates of the Burning Sea players to meet up in person.

Recently, Ubert talked to us about his experiences with the community.

Also, don’t forget to nominate the next Community Spotlight member!

Power & Prestige Final Release Date

07/23/2010    |    News    |    Rhaegar    |    Discuss

We’re now ready to announce the final release date for Power & Prestige: we will be taking it live on August 24th, 2010.

We’re very grateful for all the useful suggestions and insights our beta testers have given us, and we’re excited to release Power & Prestige with all the polish it deserves. To that end, we have decided to spend some extra time polishing the final build, and we’ve also decided to sneak in a few additions based on feedback from our beta test. These additions include:

• A Career Rewards Exchange Shop
• Junk Buyer Exchange Shops
• A client-side preference for auto-face target in AvCom

...in addition to long list of features that were already part of Power & Prestige.

The open beta will remain open until the day we launch, so you still have a chance to give this expansion a try before we go live! You can find full instructions on our open beta page.
