Introduction

MMO games are one of the biggest and most well renowned genre's in the gaming industry; and it's certainly one of the biggest earners for some companies. However, while there are several million gamers that enjoy this genre, many choose not to try out many since they are perceived as mere clones of World of Warcraft. Not the case with Pirates of the Burning Sea, a seafaring and swashbuckling MMO set in the early 1700s. Captaining your own vessel you can trade, fight, and sail throughout the Carribean as one of several different historical nations; or play as an infamous pirate and plunder away to your heart's content.

Today I'm sitting down with a few of the development team at Flying Lab Software - the makers of PotBS - and I asked them a few questions about the current state of the game, and it's future developments.
