Pirates are an internet phenomenon, along with their sneaky cousins, ninjas, so it's good to see that the MMORPG about the swashbuckling, rum drinking, ship plundering dudes is finally seeing a release date at the end of it's voyage.

GamesIndustry.biz reports that the game is set to launch on January 22, 2008, and those who pre-order are in for a chest full o' treasures including a special in game weapon, access to the game 15 days in advance, and a CD full of pirate themed music, and we almost forgot, a parrot (Not real, we do hope)
