New Updates on Test - Send Us Your Feedback (Closed)

January 27, 2009

We've just put a new build on the Test Server, if you've played it we'd like to take a moment to thank you and remind you to send us your feedback! If you haven't, and you have Test Server access, log on now and check it out.

The town feels alive and is ready for exploration. We're still working on reported bugs and other fixes so be sure to log on and play. If you don't have access to the Test Server, don't despair - in the weeks ahead we'll tell you how you can get a Test Server Invitation! Meanwhile, check out images of the new Port Royal below and let us know what you think.

Edwarad Blueskull

OMG that is AWESOME!!!! I love how POTCO made changes to Fort Charles and i also think that the higher up bridge is really cool, it is helpful that Fort Charles is WAY closer to the town (I hate running over there every 5 seconds....)

Aye, the new Port Royal along with the rest of the new build is looking mighty fine. Will all the major islands eventually get the same type of upgrade as Port Royal did this time? Thx.

Bart Roberts !!

Looks Great !! Can't wait to explore it . Thanks !!

January 27, 2009 11:09PM

Jade Darkhawk

Looks interesting. Been taking shots of the old one to compare (and remember later). So, with a new fort, do we get to jump off the bell tower area? :D No test server access, but I can wait for the tours. Should be fun learning a new layout.

January 27, 2009 11:17PM

Jade Darkhawk

Just thought of something; any chance of posting map layouts of the varous islands? Would be quite handy for new players, and fun for all. With all of the wild areas included, and maybe symbols for what is found in each, these could be useful. They could even be included IN the game, as maps used by the players, maybe for sale for each island. If we get (I hope I hope!) a Captain's cabin on the ships, the various charts could be seen there, perhaps. Some mentioned houses before, but being pirates, a cabin would be far better, in my humble opinion, and a great addition to the ships.

January 27, 2009 11:20PM

Davy Rigstealer

way cool cant wait to see it on the server

Angel Heartstealer

Ahoy! Well talk about going around in circles in Port Royal. Took a little bit of time but me Pirate almost has learned her way around Port Royal. I know alot of Pirates are going around saying ARRGH trying to get around LOL. I think the new Port Royal looks awesome and getting to the fort is not as lengthy, thanks for that, me pirate's little legs would get tired running up that long stretch of hill in the old Port Royal. Thanks again mateys for the New Port Royal.

January 28, 2009 07:03AM

Maria Darkbnes

January 28, 2009 07:06AM

Jim Helmcutter

Hi, I know you guys are working hard to make improvements, but i just wanted to know if anyone had put forward the idea of being able to feud with other guilds and then having to settle them at the pirates council on tortuga. Well, the photos of the new Port Royal look great and I can't wait to see if i can get an invitation to the test servers.

January 28, 2009 07:09AM

January 28, 2009 09:30AM

Kate Seahawk

I really like the architecture you used in the second picture. The bricks used really give it an old look. Like something you would see in europe built hundreds of years ago. Thumbs up. =)

Looks like the layout is more user friendly. And less space wasted. I can't wait to see it, and I'm sad to see the old one go.
