News from the Burning Sea

In spite of its shortcomings (and there are several), I have a soft spot for Pirates of the Burning Sea. It was the first MMORPG to which I subscribed, and it offered something different from elves and spaceships. After playing from January to June 2008, I returned briefly to it in April of last year, but I quickly succumbed to boredom.

Flying Lab Software, the makers of Pirates of the Burning Sea, recently reduced its five servers to two, and started offering a free month of play (ending March 5) to anyone who subscribed to the game and cancelled before last January 15. I may avail myself of this offer, but I have not yet decided whether there is anything left in this game that I have not tried, or that is worth returning to.

Since this announcement provides me with an ideal opportunity for emptying my drawers, allow me to offer you the entire run of the "Courrier de France", the newspaper I created when I played the game (all for the Blackbeard server except where indicated). Enjoy!

First Issue - Second Issue - Third Issue - Fourth Issue - Fifth Issue - Sixth Issue - Seventh Issue (recruitment, dating back to the first round of transfers) - Eight Issue (sold to British interests) - Ninth Issue (only issue for Rackham) - Tenth Issue - Return Issue #1 - Return Issue #2 - Return Issue #3 - Return Issue #4 - Return Issue #5 - Return Issue #6
