Notorious Pirate
Just a quick communication from the TLOPO team:
Migration to new servers has been completed. The pirate database appears intact, and bugged pirates with inventory issues appear to have been repaired. Currently work is being done on the quest line and other game features that still need to be completed. The existing quest line had many issues that we are repairing. The game will NOT be released prior to this working properly to prevent greater issues in the future. We have had to roll the game DB back several times as issues were corrected. This is not something that we want to subject the community to as these rollbacks were much more extensive then the two small rollbacks experienced in our previous Beta version. (Remember all the noise that ensued after the much shorter rollbacks that occurred during our previous Beta phase?)
As it has been stated numerous times, software development is a fluid and ever changing process/environment. When we encounter an issue that is detrimental to game play, it does cause delays. That is the nature of development.
Thank you for your continued patience, for those of you that have demonstrated patience and support on our behalf.
