The Pirates of the Burning Sea Non-Disclosure Agreement has now been lifted, so expect much more information to be released on previously restricted things:

MMORPG_Taera: Kaeldjin :asks: When is scheduled the european pre-order?

FLS_Rev: I am very happy to say that we will be announcing the European preorder date later this week right alongside the open beta announcement. Our open beta will be global and the preorder will be in stores before Christmas.

In European stores, I mean.

So in just a few days, we'll cover the open beta, the European preorder date, and the fact that we're close to dropping our NDA as well. :)

It has come to FLS's attention that some preorder boxes are missing the codes required to obtain the goodies promised; When asked if gamers had to return their preorder to the stores to resolve this, Aether had this reply:

Yes, that is exactly what you need to do friend. I'll make sure this information gets to the right people so that we can address it directly.

If you run into issues returning your game, I need you (or anyone else for that matter) to send me a note using our Support System at www.burningsea.com/support

Best,
Aether

A lesson we learned from watching the release of other MMOs is 'you can only launch once.' What that means is that while you can promise features for post-release, you have to succeed or fail on the feature set you ship with.
