From the Developer's Deck


It's been an exciting first month for Pirates Online! Since the game launched, our players have accomplished some amazing things:
  • Players are joining the crew from all over the globe, especially in North America. Our U.S. Player Map shows hot spots on both coasts, everywhere in between and growing fast!
  • Pirates are dealing heavy damage to Jolly Roger's undead army! An elite few players have already hit the tens of thousands mark for enemies defeated - check them out on the leaderboards!
  • Some of the Caribbean's finest have amassed a good amount of notoriety, gold, and treasure - and they'll need it in the coming year as the game expands.

Our development team has been hard at work during the last month, putting out regular releases to address issues that you, our players, are telling us about.

Brushing Up on Your Blackjack Skills


Before you belly up to the Blackjack table in the Rowdy Rooster or King's Arm, you'll want to make sure your game knowledge and skills are up to par. Here's some important information you'll need if you want to leave the tavern with more booty than you walked in with.

Brushing Up on Your Blackjack Skills


Your Main Objective While Playing Blackjack:
Beat the dealer with a hand that does not exceed 21 points. If you go over 21 points, you lose.

ACE: 1 point or 11 points (whichever you need most)
FACE CARDS (KING, QUEEN, JACK): 10 points
NUMBER CARDS (2-10): Number on card corresponds to the point value of the card (i.e. a 3 card = 3 points)
For players new to Blackjack, here's how the game works:
  • Once you sit down at the table, you'll be asked to place your bid
  • The dealer will deal out 2 cards to everyone at the table and will turn 1 of his cards face up for all players to see
  • At this point you have several options, which are displayed as buttons at the bottom of your screen:
    • Bid: Put more gold into the pot (which other players must match)
    • Stay: Keep your current cards and do nothing
    • Hit: Ask the dealer for another card
    • Split: If the first 2 cards you are dealt are of equal value (i.e. 2 Jacks, 2 Fives), you can 'split' them and play them as two separate hands
    • Double Down: Allows you to double your initial bet and receive ONE additional card (this can only be done with a 2 card hand, before another card has been drawn)
    • Swap Card: If you have a cheat card, you can swap out cards in your hand with ones up your sleeve (cheat cards are earned by completing special quests)
    • Leave: You always have the option to quit the game and leave the table
