Happy Wednesday, Pirates! It’s a short week for the team, so we’re pushing some updates early this week.

The game is routinely experiencing record-breaking levels of activity and player engagement, so we have implemented some safeguards to keep the game running smoothly for players. We’re working around the clock to develop a novel solution for scaling called the Multichain, which should solve these issues and get everyone back to playing Pirate Nation together whenever they want. We appreciate your patience while we work through this growing pain.

Game

• We enabled a smoother flow for purchasing Energy refills with Gems during Exploration and directly from the Energy bar at the top of the screen

• We’re introduced a waiting room feature to ensure smooth gameplay for players actively playing the game

• We also implemented a timeout that messages and then resets players if they’ve been inactive for 15 minutes or longer, which will allow players to rotate into playing the game sooner

Known Issues

• Occasionally when you first load into the game, your Ship skin may not appear on your docked Ship, which can be corrected by opening the Dock menu
