Award-Winning MMORPG Pirates of
the Burning Sea UNVEILS NEW WEBSITE
Makeover, and More!
Flying Lab Software unveiled a
website redesign for their award-winning MMORPG Pirates of the Burning Sea, a
massively multiplayer online game of swashbuckling adventure on land and sea,
set in the Caribbean during the 1720s.
In addition to the brand-new look,
the updated Pirates of the Burning Sea website introduced twelve
never-before-seen screenshots of breathtaking environments from the game world.
The bold site design, launched in tandem with a new Developer Log from Flying
Lab Software CEO, Russell Williams, signals the fast approaching June 2007
release date for Pirates of the Burning Sea.
In his Developer Log, Williams
writes, "Here at Flying Lab, we’re now firmly in the fun part. Our beta releases
come out about every 2-3 weeks, and each release dramatically improves the game.
This month is a big one for us, as we start rolling in the new avatars into the
game, and the Open Sea is about to get a dramatic facelift in both the visuals
and in the gameplay. Ship skills are being totally redone, the avatar combat is
being finalized, we’re adding on yet more richness in our sounds (crew sounds,
anybody?) the UI is being (finally!) redone for real, and the art department is
kicking ass and taking names – wait till you guys start seeing the new
environments, especially the new jungle beach!"
You are invited to check out the new
look and see our amazing jungle beach screenshots by visiting our site at

About Pirates of the Burning Sea
Pirates of the Burning Sea is a
next-gen MMORPG of intense tactical ship combat and swashbuckling adventures on
land and sea. In the Caribbean in 1720, English, Spanish, French, and Pirate
captains battle it out for glory and power. Every player is the captain of their
own ship, engaging in both Player verses Environment and Player verses Player
game play that has the power to truly change the game world.
Compete to conquer enemy ports,
pursue 1,000+ missions, engage in a fully player-driven economy, and earn ships,
skills, and gear to become the most famous — or notorious! — captain on the
burning sea. Independently developed and in the works for four years, this is an
epic online experience unlike anything else.
