CEO Russell Williams and Associate Producer Janice Von Itter talk about how they're ramping up the political game in this free expansion to PotBS. Power and Prestige will let players become port governors.

To begin, governor powers will be divided into three areas: economic, cosmetic and tactical.

Economic powers include the ability to change tax rates, infrastructure rates and generally tweak the port’s economy for whatever purposes they want.

Cosmetic powers include the ability to set a tagline and make subtle little changes that leave the Governor’s own personal stamp on the place.

Tactical options include upgrades to defenses or port offensive capabilities that will make it harder – or maybe easier if treachery is afoot – for it to fall in battle with enemy nations.

Sounds like a step in the right direction. Might be worth a one month resub to see.

SOE don't have their hands on this game, ie they are not dumping money into it, so how far can one trust your belief on those other points to be valid?

SOE is the main funder for Pirates, I was there when they launched it, what are you smoking

You Clearly have NO Idea what your talking about. SOE is ONLY Billing and server farm Managment. NOTHING ELSE. Unless you would like to Provide the Phantom Link to the Artical that Proves your Tinfoil hat Therrory.

The only ones to blame, or Praise here are FLS. Soe has nothing to do with the game. I Hate SOE to, But Somethings they Really have nothing to do with.

Edit: Wait a min here... Your in the Vanguard fourms Praising Soe?? What a Troll you are.....

At least this a free expansion , EQ is coming up on its 16th paid expansion.

"i wouldn't play any mmo that does not ban people like me".

nice.

The game is a great Sailing Sim.   The Best Ship Sailing Battle Game ever.   I hope they keep the sailing features and tactics in it.   Yea its not perfect but very doable for people whome never sailed.  It needs a huge world to explore and it could be great.

Beautiful .... Finally someone is doing something I always wanted to see in one mmo ,,,, giving people a chance to progress as an individual into powerfull positions, and become someone important and best of all have a chance marking the world itself .....

was bord of all this mmos with quotes such as shape the world , bring the change in the war against evil......they need you .... and all you ever do in most of  mmos is killing 20 rats
