With the upcoming arrival of the Storm Island add-on, the folks behind Bounty Bay Online have released an overview of the new sub-skills included in the add-on.

These skills will let players further customize their characters to correspond to their individual playing styles. The add-on also includes new areas, monsters, armor, weapons, and more. Details at the full article.

Welcome to Storm Island, Bounty Bay Online's first, substantial and free add-on from Frogster Interactive. What you can expect from this isle somewhere close to the North American coast is a newly added area that is home to a bountiful array of flora and fauna, as well as an increased maximum level cap (from 100 to 120).

Storm Island is just as mysterious and cryptic as the fog shrouding it, with magic treasures and knowledge of a long lost civilization just waiting to be discovered. Of course, with new adventures to have, it is but fitting that you get new abilities to aid you in your quest. That's why here in Storm Island, yours will be enhanced with 21 new special abilities, such as fishing, muscle power, alchemy, and more.

Do check out the screenshots to get a glimpse of what's in store for you in Storm Island.

 

Starting Saturday, guilds will be able to fight for control of London in Snail Game and Yusho's 15th century seafaring MMORPG, Bounty Bay Online. Those who gain control of the British capital will be able to set taxes and other parameters, allowing them to profit from their victory.

Of course, putting a city under siege is no easy task. Attackers first have to take the city walls under fire from sea, battle their way through harbor defenses on foot, and then defeat the old major. Competing guilds could also jump into the fray. On Sunday, city sieges will also be possible in Cape Town.

Before these battles are opened, combatants can prepare themselves for the coming battles using a bidding and spy time system. Those interested in laying siege to these cities can check out the schedules on the official Bounty Bay Online website by clicking on the Read link below.

Frogster Interactive Pictures' Bounty Bay Online now has an in-game black market where players can get new gear and armor upgrades as well as advanced quests for higher level characters.

The black market is a special location which can be found on a secret ship. It offers various gear that players can purchase with the vouchers they can pick up in their adventures. The developers picked a perfect time to introduce this new store since players can most likely pick up more of the vouchers through the advanced level quests.

The new quests can be obtained by visiting the three new NPCs from the Hunter's Alliance. They can be found at Lisbon, Algiers, and Sri Lanka so players won't have to go far to obtain the new missions. Both updates seem pretty solid and should satisfy some of the long term players who started playing this game since the Beta.

This game is already out in the UK and can be purchased for £19.99 (around US$ 41). The pack includes the game and a free month of game time. If you decide to continue playing, expect to pay £6.99 (around US$ 15) monthly.

 

Aside from Pirates of the Burning Sea, there's another MMO title that allows players to live their wildest fantasies of being pirates. We're talking about Bounty Bay Online. If you are interested, today is your lucky day because the game is currently in need of players who will fill the closed beta slots.

Bounty Bay Online takes place during the 15th century. Much like PotBS, there are several career options to follow in Bounty Bay Online aside from being a pirate. A player may opt to become a merchant and focus on trade. Also, one can just be an adventurer and travel the exotic and then-unexplored regions of Europe, Africa, and Asia.

This MMO is being developed by German-based yusho GmbH. There is still no word when this will be available but the developer mentioned that Bounty Bay will come in two different versions: a normal retail package and a special edition. Of course, the latter has more goodies to offer.

You can register at the game's official site to take part at the closed beta via our Read link below.
