The Pirates of the Burning Sea team has published a preview of the game's new leaderboards system. According to the article, "leaderboards are a way for you to view the top ranked characters based on various statistics that we record. These include stats for PvP (ad-hoc and Conquest), PvE, Economy, Skirmish and Duels, and allow you to see how you score in both positive stats (e.g. wins) and negative stats (e.g. losses)."

The leaderboards page is currently up and running, but Flying Lab Software has emphasized that it is only a preview and is not actually finished. Don't be surprised if you run into some bugs while browsing the page. You can also check out the My Characters preview page, which requires you to be logged in to the site.
