The Flying Lab team will be hosting an event on the Testbed server in about an hour at noon PST to address some Port Battle issues in Pirates of the Burning Sea. All you need to do is jump onto the Testbed on a British or Pirate character to participate.

GMs will be handing out money or levels if you need them, so log in and gather in the starting town for your nation at noon to help out the developers and enjoy some Port Battle action. More information can be found after the jump.

We’ve created a patch to address some Port Battle issues we’ve been seeing recently. Join us tomorrow on Testbed for an event to test that fix before it goes live!

The test will take place on Tuesday, December 29th at 12:00pm (noon) Pacific (8pm BST / 5am Australian Eastern (Wednesday)).

Here’s what we need you to do to take part:

1. Update Testbed to the latest version, and then be online at the time mentioned above, on a British or Pirate character. If you already have a level 50 character from the right nation on TB, please be sure his skills, outfitting etc are ready and working before the event.
2. Gather in the starting town for your nation (Jenny Bay or Marsh Harbor).
3. GMs will be on hand to hand out money (and levels if you need them). They will also add contention points to make you eligible for the port battle. You must speak to the GM in your town to be eligible for the PB.
4. Once you’re in the battle, watch for instructions from FLS staff.
5. Tell us about your experience by visiting the Testbed forum!

We will be handing out money and levels before the event starts, so come a little early if you only have a low level character on Testbed, or if you need to prep your character.

We look forward to seeing you there!
