Pirates of the Burning Sea goes Free to Play Monday

Post by BigBiker05 » Tue Nov 23, 2010 10:56 am

First off guys, I was in beta for this game for about a year and a half and I love it. However change were done within a month of release so I never picked up my copy of this game. About 6 months ago I went back on a two week trial to realize those changes have been reversed in a later patch. However, SOE (Sony Online Entertainment) owns the marketing for this game so it was stuck at a $15 a month fee and population began to dwindle since only a few games now can bring in that $15 a month (WoW and EVE?).

Anyways, coming this Monday a new patch will come out for Pirates of the Burning Sea launching the Free to Play, details follow. I WILL be playing this game as long as the micro-transactions aren't completely stupid like some FTP games do.

The exact release time may change based on conversations we have with SOE later this week, and we plan to keep you up to date with any changes.

We invite you to hang out in the official Pirates of the Burning Sea chat channel while the servers are down.
