Free Trial of Pirates of the Burning Sea

OK, I may have to ask for a volunteer on this one.  Some of you that don't very often play MMOs, should give this a try and let us know how it is.  As it is, I still subscribe and play to 2 current MMOs and have subscribed to many more. 
The world's best pirate-themed MMO is looking for new recruits to sail the salty Caribbean in search of booty, glory, adventure, and...more booty, possibly. To this end they've launched a free 14-day trial open to all wannabe pirates and privateers who have yet to take part in the seafaring activities. Simply hit up the link below, enter your email address to verify that you are indeed a real person, and then prepare to download a metric ass-ton of files before you get command of your very first ship.


This is the sort of game that should have had a free-trial from the get go, really. The unique flavor combination of ship-based travel and battles with trading and character combat is something you really need to play before deciding if it's the right game for you.

Welcome to the Pirates of the Burning Sea 14-Day Trial!

Sony's New MMO Hits The High Sea

So you went to see the latest "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie and thought "you know what, Johnny Depp is a punk, I would be a much better pirate than him". Well thanks to Sony, now is you chance!!!

Sony On-Line Entertainment is creating a new MMO game called "Pirates of the Burning Sea" (that's original). It's not based on the Disney movies with a similar name, but players will have a chance to match their wits against others around the globe to prove who's the best pirate. Players will compete in ship to ship combat and will have thousands of ports to conquer.

The developer "Flying Labs" is pushing for a Fall release and a beta in the next few weeks. So if you're ready to get plenty of booty, this might be for you.
