The seventh episode of the Pirates of the Burning Sea podcast has been released on the game's official Web site, and Flying Lab CEO Russell "Rusty" Williams and crew talk about the new port battle maps and the upcoming Power and Prestige expansion.

The team also discussed a recent exploit that hit the game as a result of a zone server crash. The exploit allowed players to duplicate items, and rumors have been circulating that Flying Lab banned hundreds of players. In fact, a handful of accounts were temporarily frozen while the team assessed the situation and removed duplicated items. Flying Lab them returned the accounts to the players. If you ever find an exploit in Pirates of the Burning Sea, the team asks that you file a support ticket.

Listen to the 16-minute podcast for more information on the new port battle maps and the expansion. You can also check out our recent interview with Associate Producer Janice Vonitter and Game Designer Greg Hanefeld for Power and Prestige details.
