Joe Ludwig, Director of Development von Pirates of the Burning Sea, liegt viel daran, die Änderungen an diesem Piraten-MMO kundzutun. Schließlich ist der Titel noch gar nicht so lange draußen, die Liste der Spielerwünsche dafür um so größer. Mit welchen Änderungen man der PotbS-Gemeinde näher kommen will, könnt ihr in einem ausführlichen Interview unserer Kollegen von mmorpg.com erfahren.

Ten Ton Hammer: Besides the buccaneer class, what was your main focus in 1.4?

Joe: There were a number of changes in 1.4, but the buccaneer was definitely the big one, because with a new class you have to do new missions, career appearance items, and that sort of thing. That's all taken a lot of effort from a lot of the team.

In addition to that, we have set up a lot of trial account restrictions so we can better control the abuse of trial and buddy accounts by gold spammers. We have implemented a number of things, on the back end, to help with customer support. That's an ongoing theme, because as we see more support requests, we provide more tools to make the GMs lives easier.
