Release Notes - February 27 2008

• Avatar Customization
  • There are now jewelers, barbers, tailors, and tattoo parlors in Port Royal, Tortuga, Del Fuego, and Cuba
  • Added the ability to zoom in on your avatar with the middle mouse wheel if you are not moving or in combat.
  • Added random drops of rare clothing when defeating an enemy. The chance of getting clothes is rare, but the colors are unique and you can't find them in stores anywhere.
• Emotes.
  • Added emotes! You can access them via the speed chat menu or by typing / at the chat prompt. Here is the list of some of the emotes you can use with the / command: Angry, arrr, bow, celebrate, coin, cry, dance, flex, greet, laugh, help, nod, sad, scared, sleep, smile, wave, wink, yawn, yes, no
• Guild invite token system update
  • Added two additional types of Guild tokens: Limited Multi-use Codes (i.e. a token that can be redeemed 10 times) and Unlimited Codes (a token that can be used forever, until you invalidate it)
• Added a button on the Crew panel that lets you put a "Looking for Crew" message above your head. Click on the "Crew Options" button in your Crew panel to activate this feature. You can also type /lfc in your chat window to toggle the Looking for Crew label
• Added in-game pop-ups to notify players when Blackjack Friday has begun (Blackjack Fridays are every Friday from 3-9 PM Pacific Time)
• Moved the Game Options button to the main screen, next to your sea chest - it is now available in both Make-A-Pirate and the tutorial
• Fixed bug that was not allowing players to teleport or chat to guild/crew members who they couldn't see
• Fixed bug allowing players to teleport to servers that are full from the Pick-a-Pirate screen
• Added clearer messaging to explain why a teleport may have failed (i.e. other player's ship sunk, etc.)
• Added a check to see if your CPU is running at max frequency. If not, you will get a pop-up after the client has been running for 2 minutes.
• Doubled the chances of getting a cheat card dropped when defeating NPCs
• Fixed flickering in interiors on low graphics settings
• Increased maximum crew size to 12 so you can fill a War Frigate with a single crew
• Fixed an exploit where you could have multiple avatars switching being captain of the ship to avoid recharge times for broadsides
• Fix for short male and other low height avatar's feet showing up below the floor
• Fixed a bug on the compass that caused North to point the wrong direction

I am really excited about this. I am also excited that the Boss Battle is almost ready. I'll start doing my quest now.

That's interesting. I wonder how many users are going to get popups because their OS power management is limiting the CPU frequency.

This is great. I thought it would be this Friday... they should had released it in Friday for excitement. But Wednesday is better, I am not a patient pirate!

How does a computer illiterate person going about running their OS power management better so this doesn't come up. I'm running this off a laptop, so I'm guessing that it'd be my power management that's messing with the frequency....I got a message that it was running at 0.69 (instead of 1.99).

Sorry if this is off topic on this thread
