Arrrrr... you ready for a new video game?

I'm watching the press from Flying Lab Software regarding the January 22 release of Pirates of the Burning Seas which looks like it should be a pretty rad online game.

Imagine World of Warcraft but with totally kickass pirates instead of sissypants elves and such. Tactical ship battles and swordplay? I'm so in.

I'm hoping for the following:

* The ability to make people walk the plank. Preferably scurvy dogs.

* Some sort of pirate monkey like in the Disney movies.

* Rum. Lots of rum.

* Parrot-related costume pieces.

* Parrot shit down the backs of really rough pirates.

Damn tootin'!! To address your questions:

1) Walk the plank - Not yet, though not a month goes by when we don't take a stab at designing a walk the plank system.

2) Pirate Monkey - absolutely.

3) Rums - Yep!

4) Parrot - Double yep!

5) Parrot shit - Maybe we shouldn't give them so many crackers?

I'm three times excited about this game following that last comment - wait, what's three times "nearly ready to wet myself?"
