Yar Maties and shiver me timbers as Carolyn Koh files this report from E3 on Flying Lab Software's Pirates of the Burning Sea.

There were more people crowded around the Pirates of the Burning Sea (PotBS) station both in SoE's appointment hotel area and the station in Barker Hanger than any of their other games. That being that case, I stood back and spent some quality time with Jess Lebow, Content Director & CEO Russ Williams rather than get some hands-on play with five other people breathing down my neck. We talked of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings. I am not being cryptic, but that describes of how our conversation jumped around, topics segueing to others sometimes, and sometimes jumping around as the demo on the screen changed.

Pirates of the Burning Sea looked fine. The developers were especially proud to show how well the UI had been tweaked and polished. The graphical wind direction representation on screen as well as the sectional circle around the ship allows the player to take in all of the information he needs right there in the middle of the screen.

Read the whole article here.

Stand up for what you believe; Even if you stand alone.

Such high hopes for this game - though it's not exactly what I wanted it should be SO refreshing.  Wish I were in beta...

Sounds like this game was getting some attention at E3.   I'll certain be watching for it's release to see how that goes.

WTF is a pocket monster?!? Think about it for a while.

Seems like they are doing their job and doing it good. So much polish on an mmo is great. I also want to know why is fall so far away?
