Pirates of the Burning Sea Expansion: Power & Prestige Goes Live This August

06/21/2010, Seattle WA:  Flying Lab Software is proud to announce that its anticipated expansion – Power & Prestige – will go live at the beginning of August, 2010.  Power & Prestige is the first major expansion for the company’s critically acclaimed MMORPG title Pirates of the Burning Sea™. This expansion includes more than 60 new missions, 4 new factions, Port Governance and a new “brawling” combat school.

“With nearly 2 million ships sunk on the Burning Sea over the last 2.5 years, our players have been busy,” said Russell Williams, CEO of Flying Lab software.  “We have been listening to our players and incorporating their input as much as possible into this new expansion. We’re very proud of what we’ve achieved, as this expansion allows players to reach new levels of power and prestige!”

Pirates of the Burning Sea is an MMORPG featuring high-seas action and adventure in a bold world of pirates and plunder. Set against the backdrop of the New World of the 18th century, players can choose one of three nations — England, France or Spain — or choose the role of a Pirate to battle it out for glory and power.
Power & Prestige expands upon the game’s already stalwart real-time Conquest system, allowing players to not only capture ports on behalf of their parent nations, but to also become a Port Governor with great economic and strategic influence.

Players can apply to take part in Flying Lab Software’s Power & Prestige™ beta program by visiting http://www.burningsea.com/page/ppbeta. New players will be able to apply once they pay for their first month of play, as an active subscription is required in order to access the beta server.
