I haven't been on POTCO for a few days, but here is the latest update.

April 27, 2007 [pirates_1_0_6_0]

• Taking a ship out via the dockworker has been simplified.
• Added boss battle: Rescuing the Black Pearl.
• Splitting and doubling has been added to Blackjack.
• A Log-out button has been added to the options panel.
• When you log in, you will appear on the last island you visited. Major islands have jails.
• The ability to teleport to a friend has been added.
• There is now a new user interface in place for currently targeted enemy.
• Enemy aggro has been tuned so enemies don't gang up on people as often.
• New name tags reveal the difficulty of an Enemy relative to a player. Red: Hard to defeat. Yellow: Near equal to player. Green: Easy to defeat. Gray: Very easy to defeat.
• The Lookout system is now defaulted to Invite Crew.
• You should not be able to buy or equip a weapon before you've earned the right to have it.

Other items to watch out for:

• We will be removing the deploy button from the ships panel - you will have to use the dockworker to deploy a ship.
• Look for missing water after dying in a jungle, cave, or swamp.
• We are doing a quest database patch, so try logging in with an old avatar that has quests and make sure the quests still show up.
