It's been an exciting first month for Pirates Online! Since the game launched, our players have accomplished some amazing things:
- Players are joining the crew from all over the globe, especially in North America. Our U.S. Player Map shows hot spots on both coasts, everywhere in between and growing fast!
- Pirates are dealing heavy damage to Jolly Roger's undead army! An elite few players have already hit the tens of thousands mark for enemies defeated - check them out on the leaderboards!
- Some of the Caribbean's finest have amassed a good amount of notoriety, gold, and treasure - and they'll need it in the coming year as the game expands.
Our development team has been hard at work during the last month, putting out regular releases to address issues that you, our players, are telling us about. We hope you are enjoying these improvements and please keep sending us your comments and questions! Specifically, we've received feedback about lag problems that some players are having. We're working hard to address any remaining lag and frame rate issues, as well these other reported issues:
- Vista and Mac game-related crashes occurring while boarding, sailing, and docking ships
- Graphics issues (such as missing texture and weird display issues) on Macs, related to OS 10.5.1
- Player ships disappearing when a Server goes down and is then taken out of rotation
- Collision holes in Cutthroat Island that are causing players to fall through the game
- Difficulty with finding the diamond on Queen's Nest, in the Recover Treasure Quest
Going forward, we will continue to keep you posted on the list of known issues we are working on. Hopefully, this list will help you avoid issues while we work to fix, test, and release updates to the game.
In addition to game updates and bug fixes, the team is hard at work building game expansions and adventure packs. Expect more areas to explore, more enemies to defeat, more treasure to be found - the first of these will come in February with more ways to customize your Pirate, but keep a lookout, as hints to future updates may appear at any time.
Thank you for all your feedback and support, and here's to an amazing first month!
