Release Notes - May 28 2008

Added new French and Spanish skeletons. French skeletons can be found on Isla Cangrejos and Spanish skeletons can be found on Cutthroat Isle. New French and Spanish skeleton ships can be found sailing around Isla Cangrejos and Cutthroat Isle, respectively. The new skeleton types are as follows:
French:
French Undead Maitre
French Undead Quarter Master
French Undead Lieutenant
French Undead Capitaine
Spanish:
Spanish Undead Conquistador
Spanish Undead Bandido
Spanish Undead Pirata
Spanish Undead Captain
Added two new islands to the world:
Isla De La Avaricia
Ile D'Etable De Porc
Fixed a bug that was preventing people with PowerPC based Macs from being able to play the game
Adjusted the placement of Mother's day tattoos
Added new ship sinking cutscenes
Added an in-game feedback form. When using this form, please be as specific as possible. Please note that you will not receive any feedback from support using this form (click here for technical support). The feedback form button icon is a question mark and can be found on the options menu
In an effort to improve the early in-game experience, we have launched welcome worlds. This is a scaled down instance of the Pirates world that a player plays in until they launch a ship for the first time.
Added some debugging for tracking down lingering issues with textures when using the DirectX9 graphics API.
Fixed a bug that was preventing collisions with the masts of your ship once you had been on a cannon
A new quest titled "Skeleton Infestation" will be given out by Orinda Le Jeune located on the Tortuga Docks
Fixed some misspellings in quest dialog
Ship panels no longer disappear when they break
Fixed a bug that was breaking the "track quests" button after completing the black pearl boss battle

(YAY!) Looking forward to exploring those new islands!

Wait, is this on open?!? *runs to log in the game

OK I did check it out and wow, so sweet. Kid in a candy shop. However I am having a hard time finding the ships.....wait found one. OK, boarded it and they are on the deck so u can nail them with cannons. Good, clear the deck, board and they hide!! Run ur staff around lookin for Aim circles (or gun if you dont have one). BEst I can say. They also respawn!!!

[DarthChaosSky]

Can you choose a faction yet?

[Snorri]

I don't think so yet, the french and spanish guy just talk of the coming battles and needing recruits soon. Also talk about conquering all the islands.

Hopefuly there will be some land battles on the spanish and french isles, they are kind of dull as it is now :P

I cant wait to get home from work to play tonight...my computer here at work is having video card issues. I miss playing it at work...gave me something to do lol

[CaptainMonkeys]

Yay! Wait, these are live? Awesome!

[Jason Redskull]

YEP! Its been crashing all morning... I am disapointed in the new islands. No crabbies, skellies... nothing. Just some NPC's.

You just gotta have patience. Until they add the new quests and stuff to do on them, just think of them as safe harbors upon battling the undead flags.
