More and more new Pirates sail into the Caribbean every day - seeking adventure, plunder and infamy.

Ray of Light
When all else fails, look for a Ray of Light!
It appears beaming down from the sky marking where you need to go next on the islands.

Ships

Mini-Games
Has your Pirate turned green, or grown giant-sized? Have you blasted gold-stealing Bandits out of the water yet?

I fail to see what is "new" but ok.

[Davy_Mcwrecker]

This is "new" for the "new" pirates. Basic-lee showing what Basic Access people cannot do, to get more money.

[Slasher]

Yeah, I saw this too. I guess they are informing us. I had somewhat forgotten the Ray Of Light.. But seriously, I think this might be leading to something. Just maybe... Can't wait to see the next thing.

I saw this article and seriously thought something new was coming. The title of the article, in my opinion, can be too easily confused with "New Content" rather than "Essentials for New Pirates".

That's just me, I guess...

[Slasher]

Yeah, I checked it, thinking it was something new. I was rather sad when it wasn't what I thought... Grr...

That's exactly what I thought. Really gets your hopes up for nothing. Just another excuse to put that little upgrade button on something. It's not really that they don't give us enough, or update the game fast enough, I think it's more of them not really giving us the things we're asking for.

[Ice_Storm]

Oh, come on, when will they tell us something we don't know?

Or release new content?

New Pirate Essentials... sounds just like new items. -_o Of course I use Test... so it obviously isn't anything. *sigh* Maybe they'll give basic players a new coat!
