The developrs have announced that they are going to extend the openish beta test of Pirates of the Burning sea until the new year, so all of you players and pirate fans can keep swashbuckling and all that until the clock strikes 12 on the 31st. I'll be outside with people mind you, rather than on an MMO, but each to their own.

It is a good MMO though, and I'll be tempted into paying for it, something I haven't done in a....long time.
