Level Cap Increasing

Based on player feedback we're taking your Pirates Online experience to a whole new level!

Higher level enemies! Pirate Notoriety level increases! New cave environments! It's all coming to Pirates Online in a few short weeks!

You'll need more experience to battle those higher level enemies, so soon the Notoriety level will be raised to 50! These and other great new additions are just part of the many improvements that continue with Pirates Online - there's no better time to join the adventure!


Explore a NEW Underworld

Based on player feedback, we redesigned the cave environments to help improve your game performance, plus, make these areas feel more alive. We're also filling these environments with higher level enemies and adding other requested improvements - like raising the level cap!

Beware! Once you enter the caves, you cross over to the underworld of the Caribbean, a place where NEW higher-level enemies like Jolly Roger's minions and mystic sages rule!



Bigger, Badder, Meaner

Beware ya lily-livered Pirates! Thar be new enemies soon to be roaming the islands in search of you! Baddies like Twisted Stumps, Undead Executioners, Soldier Wasp, Navy Dragoons and Marines and more! To defeat these enemies you'll need a sharp sword and much more experience (plus a brave crew or mate to back you up) - so what are you waiting for? Get in the game and start preparing yourself for battle!

Are you ready for the challenge? How will you face these new foes?



Guild Spotlight

Aye! Thar be no finer collection of rascals, knaves and scoundrels than the bunch of Pirates we known as the Emerald Sea Gang - led by the notorious Level 24 Zalastar this guild has roamed the oceans of the Caribbean since we Pirates first arrived in these islands.

A massive guild of over 400 Pirates, including the spicy Pirate Zoltan Pepper, the Emerald Sea Gang recently ranked as one of the top guilds in the Strongest Guilds Competition, with members like Jeanne Stormcutter, Rosa, Anne Sunwalker, Charlotte Goldstealer leading the charge!

A few weeks eh, so I am thinking Labor Day weekend that's the end of summer.

[Sven Osymthe]

That sounds like a good time. In game it says the 4th according to another post.

[Jamesvsthekraken]

big disapointment though eh? we waited a year then they make it longer i dont think i can wait they should have at least added something today

[Sven Osymthe]

Just be glad that its near. I'd rather know that something is coming, than spend a year with no clue.

Something is better than nothing after all.

What's the difference between a short week and a regular one?

Perception of time.. they are just trying to say "it wont be long now!"

[Walker Boh]

since they are raising note and weap levels are they also increasing the gold cap.

[Sarah]

Haven't seen anything about raising the gold cap as of yet. It would make sense for that to happen as well though.

[Dog Darkbane]

What is the Gold Cap?

[Midhav]

gold cap increase will come with the new loot and inventory system mates. be sure that theres trading, fishing, an' maybe more items to hold

[Bartholomew Foulsteel]

The gold cap is 65,000 gold.

they have to increase it to either 100k or 200k or something in between, as they have been working on this new inventory loot system for over a year! and put ship customization and the kraken on that list

Well we assume they have - but since they have been posting polls on what players want to see plus the Rott Test Quests mentions nothing of any Kraken as of yet I wouldn't hope on that one.

As for the ships - same thing with a twist. They continue to announce (and have released) larger Ship Holds and (hopefully soon - but I'm in no rush for) larger weapons - so when they raise the gold cap I think the current ships will be still the standard for a while (though I do hope at sometime they introduce a new line like Royal Ships on the Mobile Game - I'd love to own a Royal Frigate )

Hold the phone, I've already seen these things on live. Soldier Wasps, Dragoons, is this late news? It's funny lol.
