Pirates of the Burning Sea: Removal Because They Love You


Some of these ships will be gone.

From the outside looking in, it may appear that the days are numbered for Pirates of the Burning Sea. Having launched in early 2008, the past two years have been a bumpy ride for Flying Lab Software and their band of swashbucklers. Most of the game’s original servers have shut down, leaving only Antigua (North America), Roberts (Europe), and Carribean (Russia) left. The game’s future is certainly up in the air, but the developers are going to have to buckle down if they want to stem the dwindling population.

One way Flying Ship has decided to battle player dissatisfaction: I like to call it The nuclear option. In an effort to balance the power of various ships and to bring more attention to the “vanilla” ships of PotBS, FLS announced that they will be removing the recipes for multiple first and second rate ships, including the Invincible, Prince, Trinity, and Triumphant. Instead, third class ships will now be considered the strongest, with balancing done around that class in comparison to the “vanilla” ships.

Luckily those of you who have the recipes for the above mentioned ships will be able to keep them. Otherwise, you are out of luck as FLS has removed the ability to create the recipe starting now, with the latest patch.
