Flying Lab software is sending a care package to members of the United States military in the form of free game time for Pirates of the Burning Sea. Members of all branches of the military can head over to this page on the game's official Web site and enter their military e-mail address to play the high-seas MMO for six months at no cost. Military personnel with an existing account can add the free time to their subscription.

"The idea to do what we're calling the Care Package initially came about as a result of some posts in our Pirates of the Burning Sea community forums," Flying Lab CEO Russell Williams said in a press release. "One of our players posted about serving in Afghanistan, and it got us thinking about the challenges of trying to play an MMO while in an unpredictable situation like active service. We feel a special gratitude towards the members of the armed forces who take the time to get involved and play our game, in the face of the very difficult job they have to do to keep us all safe."

Members of the U.S. Military have until Nov. 30 to sign up for the six free months of game time.
