Pirates of the Burning Sea Servers Being Shut Down

Developer Flying Lab Software has announced that it will be shutting down 7 of the 11 servers for Pirates of the Burning Sea, its seafaring MMO. They are doing this in order to consolidate the player population.

“It has become clear that key game features require populations of higher density in order to function at optimum levels,” reads the game’s official website. “We were spreading our overall population too thin.”

They note that recent updates to the game has let them improve their server technology, allowing for an even larger population than they were originally equipped to handle.
