The Pirates of the Burning Sea official site has been updated with a brief report on Talk Like a Pirate Day. The article goes on to talk about the last big push before release, and reveals in greater detail the goodies that will be available with the PotBS pre-order.


Soundtrack ¨C If you¡¯ve been to the new marketing site, then you¡¯ve heard some of the great music that our composers have made for us. It¡¯s really gorgeous stuff, and we?ve put 60 minutes of it on a CD for you to listen to.

Parrot ¨C Everyone who gets the pre-order box will get a parrot that they can equip. The parrot sits on your shoulder, and moves like a real parrot as you go about your business. One of our guys (who shall remain nameless) said about the idea ¡°I dunno, it¡¯s just a parrot.¡± Then he saw it and said ¡°I have to have it!¡±

To put it simply, parrots rock!! Now that we¡¯ve seen the parrot work out so well, we¡¯re looking at other animals to put in. Maybe the Pets System will show up much earlier than expected!
