Pirate Games: Pirates of the Burning Sea
Pirate MMORPG
Preview
“Pirates of the Burning Sea ” is upcoming MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game) set in the beginning of the 18 th century, on the Caribbean islands. In the game, player takes role of newly appointed pirate captain, privateer or adventurer, in the action-packed quests for adventure, gold and glory!
The key point of the game is in building reputation. There will be many servers with only several hundred players. Players, who frequently visit same server, will have better reputation and everybody will know them. Game designers will try to create unique atmosphere, where player can really enjoy playing as the fearsome pirate. PvP (Player Versus Player) will be encouraged, and many players will have their archenemies and probably will devote large part of playing time on hunting them.
The game runs on Activision's Alchemy engine. Graphics are fantastic with extremely detailed models and probably the most beautiful water seen in a computer game. However, system requirements are very high. To play the game with full details you will need latest DirectX 9 class graphic card with at least 256 RAM. In addition, the game requires a broadband connection, because, like the Guild Wars, you will have to download hundreds of megabytes from servers during the play.
Game is currently under development by Flying Lab Software and is expected to be released at 31 March 2006.
