ship stealing??

[livewire82]

I read on the games official site a question from a gamer asking if ship stealing would be possible and according to the game's rep. they say yes but how? or is this just capped for testing? below is the question and the rep. response


From Chris:
Will you be able to take over other players ships? Is there going to be a leveling system for character build?

What would a pirate MMO be if you couldn't plunder other ships? As part of PVP combat, players can compete in ship-to-ship battles against one another. You'll also be able to fight the corrupt, money hungry Navy fleet and undead pirate ships lurking in the far reaches of the sea. Weaken these enemy ships, then grapple onto them, swing across, and swordfight with the crews. If you successfully capture the ship, you'll parlay with the captain then sack their cargo which can be sold for gold.

There is also a deep leveling system for character advancement based around what your character does in the game. For example, the more you use your sword, or other weaponry, the better you become. As you progress, you'll unlock new skills and improve upon existing ones. The same goes for sailing, card playing, and many other aspects of the game. The path you take is virtually limitless and completely up to you! To become a legend, you have to live as one!
