In “Most Memorable Moment” I only discussed content from the classic World of Warcraft. This time I'm going to go into detail how The Burning Crusade changed the “world” we've grown to love.
I was one of the early beta testers of TBC, it was a lot of fun to explore and check out the new areas, dungeons and quests. It took a long time to level up,...

Flying Lab Software have published a preview of the UI in Patch 1.5. Quite a bit of energy have been put into redefining the UI of Pirates of the Burning Sea. The goal is for them to provide players with a much more clean user experience, and we all know (or, at least I do!) having a nice UI to play with really makes the experience so much...

A fresh article about ambush gameplay have been published by a developer of Pirates of the Burning Sea.
Rusty asked me what we think about ganking. Ganking has a long and difficult history within our design and development process, so it’s a hard question to answer with a simple ‘we hate it’ or ‘we love it.’
The term I’ve preferred to use is...

What to expect in 1.5

Curious about the Customer Support of Pirates of the Burning Sea? Then a very recent article published by Flying Lab might be just what you're looking for.
Overall, things have improved a great deal, I think. We’re still not where we want to be! Trust me when I say we’re still not satisfied with a number of aspects of our overall support. For...

In 1.2 there's a lot of captain skill changes going in.
There’s a whole batch of captain skill changes in 1.2. Offhand, I’d estimate half of the captain skills changed in one way or another. The vast majority of these changes are improvements to existing skills, and thus it impacts all careers.
Yarrrrrr read the rest.

There's many changes behind the scenes (and in the front as well) with Pirates of the Burning Sea.
Although I’ve been on Pirates of the Burning Sea since before it had a name, and have posted lots of dev logs and many replies in the forums, I don’t think most of you have heard of me. John Scott Tynes (aka “Rev”) is going to work on other things,...

( Copy from the US forums )
You must have completed the Neltharku series of quests to get neutral with netherwing, have 300 riding skill, and (maybe) completed the Teron Gorefiend questline.
The first quest starts at Mordenai in Netherwing fields, from there he sends you to talk to the leader of the Dragonmaw orcs. The Orcs base is on Netherwing...

An interesting thread has cropped up on the official World of Warcraft forums, asking the question of "Has TBC broken your guild yet?" You can find the thread here.
Personally? I don't think so. MMOG's are a volatile beast when it comes to how the games affect its players, and expansions compound this a great deal. People come and go, and changes...
