Flying Lab Software's MMO Pirates of the Burning Sea has been online for a few months now but very soon players in the game will be able to choose what type of pirate he or she can play in the game. The upcoming 1.4 update will actually split the current Pirate nation faction into two groups.

One group is the Cutthroat; they are basically the typical nasty and dirty types that have been promoted in so many movies; they will steal ships and engage in combat quickly. The other type of pirate is the Buccaneer. They are being designed as more of a suave type of character who can help others out rather than just be a loner. They are also being designed as being more of an advanced type of character with a recommendation that they be played by experienced players of the game. The 1.4 update will also include new missions, skills and other new content. It's currently in testing but there's no word on a release date.
