Okay, so its been a long time since the project died, and im glad to announce that i'm going to have another go at this project. Any interested individuals, old team members should contact me if your interested in starting again!
The reason for the failure last time was a lack of a character artist, this meant that no matter how hard we worked, we'd never be able to release a beta, alpha or version 1 of the mod. So first things first, anyone who can model, texture and get characters into source, PLEASE CONTACT ME VIA PM!
I would also like to say that the name has been changed to Pirate Lore, i have none of the old assets, maps, or anything, after a format a few months back, so we're starting from nothing!
Thank you.

Quick question, to contact the team concerning open positions with questions, etc. how would you prefer this be accomplished? I don't see a mention of contact information beyond the Contact link via ModDB message but I'd like to be certain this is the preferred method to use.
Thanks.
Hello, sorry for the late reply. The best way to contact us is a ModDB PM. We will then arrange a easier way of contact.
Thank you.
will it be pirates vs. pirates, or like pirates vs. like o i dunno, just throwing this out there but maybe the english navy lol? i mean yea its like pirates of the carribean but it wouls still be really cool haha
are the ships destructible?
We are looking into this idea, prehaps also sinkable, but if this was the case we would probebly make the ship partly destructable (hull sections, masts snap, windows smash, deck has holes, etc.)
And then the ship would start to sink and you would have to either go down with it (if your trapped in the lower decks) or escape and board the enemy ship, or try and stay afloat on the larger pieces of floating debris.
Thanks.
keep up the work lolllll i wanna kill som pirates ey wait will their be liek british soldiers too or dutch or spanish or swedish and the main colonies of the caribean plus pirates * just as a source for team selects *
Where do these people come from and what is history with gaming and web related items??? I'd like to know more please.
Currently the core of the team is based in the United Kingdom, we have one artist working from home in the US. Most members have previous experience within the mod and games industry.
Oh this mod is gonna be awesome. The people who made Battlefield Pirates had just started on a pirate mod called " Mist " for HL2, but they decided to cancel it because they already were working on a pirate mod for BF2 and Crysis. When I heard the HL2 mod were canceled I cried a bit. But when I hear that a new pirate mod has rised again, I am UBER HAPPY :D Maybe in later releases of this mod, there will be pirates versus the navy guys?
Hello, yes this is a possibility, although due to current resources and team members we are looking at releasing BETA with two teams of pirates, and a single map. We dont have a date for this yet, but we will be keeping you all updated!
