[Sven Osymthe]

The revival system seems nice



and you apparently can end up in the same jail cell as someone by just dieing..



and a minor bug already, something tells me thats wrong..



and here is the new presentation.. you jump.. in a box

[The Skirata Clan]

always on the ground sven

[Davy Keelhawk]

well....... revive is some new content but its more of a side dish......... but i like the more cargo

[Shnoodell]

I think the more cargo is a reflection of people wanting to dump cargo, i guess it was to much work to dump so they just added more.

[Deadpool]

Now I gotta try that revive system when or if it hits live! Was that a timer up there too?

[Sven Osymthe]

Yes, I didn't get to test it with someone else. But I assume the other needs a tonic, then they use it on you.

[Li Wildtimbers]

[Aaron McEagle]

By the look at Crazy Pirate screenshots if they are not harder then there is more than one attacking at once!

[Crazypirate]

If they can go over 40 now soon we will be able to too!

[Sven Osymthe]

Nice screenshots Crazypirate.

[Aaron McEagle]

Yes but im not there on test yet so they won't do that till I level up to 40 and master!
