Pirates of the Burning Sea Patch a Step in the Right Direction?

The director of development for the disappointing "Pirates of the Burning Sea" recently sat down to share a few of the tidbits in the upcoming patch that is promising a host of improvements. "There were a number of changes in 1.4, but the buccaneer was definitely the big one, because with a new class you have to do new missions, career appearance items, and that sort of thing. That's all taken a lot of effort from a lot of the team. In addition to that, we have set up a lot of trial account restrictions so we can better control the abuse of trial and buddy accounts by gold spammers. We have implemented a number of things, on the back end, to help with customer support. That's an ongoing theme, because as we see more support requests, we provide more tools to make the GMs lives easier."

    If a game issues an update, but no one installs it does it still make a sound?

    Because it's easy to misread the headline as an awkward anti-pirate joke?

    The only way that POTBS is newsworthy, is if they got off their asses and added ninjas and robots to the mix. And blackjack and hookers. In fact, forget the pirates, ninjas, and robots.
