In <a href="http://www.burningsea.com"><em>Pirates of the Burning Sea</em></a>, finding yourself deep in unfriendly waters without a working compass can be a scary matter. When doubloons vanish, <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/04/15/potbs-drops-seven-servers-four-remain/">new servers fail to transfer characters</a>, or installations freeze, even the nicest of pirates can start spitting out some nasty language. That 1-800 number or email to a random operator can sometimes lead to even more frustration as emails go unanswered and phone calls remain on hold. For <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/pirates-of-the-burning-sea"><em>Pirates of the Burning Sea</em></a>, our glimpse into this <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/04/16/support-the-unsung-heroes-of-your-favorite-mmo/">dark world of customer service</a> is provided by Misha.<br /><br />In a recent <a href="http://www.burningsea.com/page/news/article&amp;article_id=10812"><em>PotBS devlog, </em>Misha talks about customer service</a> and gives players an update to the source of, or solution to, their troubles. Backlogs, angry pirates shooting cannons, and parrot droppings are major problems, but that is not stopping the team from getting down to business. They have setup a new tier system to get problems solved, offer more foreign language options, and are working on improving their research techniques. There is also a handy <a href="http://support.flyinglab.com/cgi-bin/flyinglab.cfg/php/enduser/std_alp.php"><em>PotBS</em> support page with FAQs</a> and solutions to common problems. So if you find yourself all alone on some sandy beach with no rum and no way home, the folks at <em>PotBS</em> want you to know they are launching the rescue party and will arrive shortly.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/05/23/potbs-customer-service-answers-your-questions/">Customer service at Pirates of the Burning Sea answers your questions</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Fri, 23 May 2008 10:00:00 EST.

With all of the server changes and patch discussions coming out of <a href="http://www.burningsea.com"><em>Pirates of the Burning Sea</em></a>, we thought we'd bombard you with some more useful information. <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/pirates-of-the-burning-sea"><em>PotBS</em></a> skills are going to get overhauled and the changes will soon be upon us. Pirate, naval officer, privateer, or free trader, <a href="http://www.burningsea.com/page/news/article&amp;article_id=10772"><span style="font-style: italic;">PotBS</span> patch 1.4</a> is going to change the way we sail the seven seas.<br /><br />The changes are being broadcast in the form of several devlogs. So far, the <a href="http://potbsvault.ign.com/fullstory.php?id=40744">privateer and the naval officer skills</a> are receiving a bit of a spring cleaning. Each has had their skills shuffled around a bit to appeal to players who have had common complaints concerning their trees. For example, sanctioned piracy for the privateer is now a free skill at level 15! There is nothing better than receiving a free letter of marque from the monarch for tossing cannon balls and looting gold. The swabbing of the poop deck, so to speak, is coming soon, so be sure to read the <a href="http://www.burningsea.com/page/news/article&amp;article_id=10785"><span style="font-style: italic;">PotBS</span> patch 1.4 devlogs</a> for info on your profession of choice!<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/05/06/class-changes-coming-in-potbs-patch-1-4/">Class changes coming in PotBS Patch 1.4</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Tue, 06 May 2008 16:00:00 EST.
