Players who pre-ordered Pirates of the Burning Sea are now able to join the game's "Pre-Boarding Party," a special perk granted by the developers which gives players a head start on the title prior to its Jan. 22 official launch.
While the Pre-Boarding Party gives players an automatic leg-up on the level grind, characters are restrained by a level cap that disables them from going above level 20, at least until the official launch of the game.
Other perks for pre-ordering include a set of powerful swords, an in-game parrot pet and a soundtrack CD filled with the sort of music Blackbeard would have listened to while recovering from scurvy.
In case you missed your chance to pre-order and would still like to do so, the offical Pre-Boarding Party page has info on how you can still pick up a copy (physical or digital) and join in on the exclusive swashbuckling action.
