In the latest Pirates of the Burning Sea dev blog, Producer Michelle "Misha" Williams delves into the process of what went on behind the scenes to make the game free to play. Follow Williams as she gives a history of the game and explains what went right and what went wrong in the process.

Taking a game over to F2P is no weekend task. The game went F2P back in November 2010. PotBS also just celebrated their 3-year anniversary in January 2011. The game has been constantly updated with new content, including the special anniversary pets. Williams says:

"This whole process has gone from stressful, confusing, and exhausting to really fun and exciting. I can’t wait to release some of the fun stuff in future milestones, including the shoulder monkey which is available in Testbed’s Treasure Aisle right now!"
