Ultimate Pirates

About this game:
A city building / strategy MMO game.

Start from a small island, build a small town first and develop it to a big city. Build pirate ships, starting from small shallops and ending huge Ships of the line, Galleons and fast Frigates, manage multiple fleets performing tasks such as killing monsters and plundering other cities. Hunt other pirates by intercepting their fleets on their way. Steal their gold, weapons and other resources.

This is an MMO game, which means you can play with your friends, or find new ones in the game.
Form alliances, chat with your teammates, organize raids to kill huge monsters together, join with your friends to perform more powerful attacks.
This is a RPG as well: you can play an evil pirate, who attacks everyone, steals from everyone or you can be a honest pirate, who helps their friends, revenge their enemies or, you can even choose to never participate in battles and be a peaceful pirate, who grows carrots, it's up to you!

DISCLAIMER:
(PLEASE read it BEFORE YOU PLAY)

My name is Artem, and I am the game designer and lead developer of this game.

This game is a gift to all players who want to try something new absolutely for FREE. There are no purchase fees, no in-app purchases (IAPs), and no ads. We do not accept any donations or payments from players. There is no way for any player to pay us money. We earn nothing from this game.

Moreover, this is an online game, and we, as developers, pay for the servers. Keeping this game online and operational without any form of monetization costs us money. In the end, this game is not just unprofitable; it results in a net loss for us.

You might be wondering why anyone in their right mind would release a game without any monetization and continue to pay for servers. Due to a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), I cannot reveal all the details of the unfortunate story of how this game was launched and why it was shut down. However, I can tell you that we spent almost 4 years developing this game, and players who liked it could only enjoy it for a couple of months.

These events and their aftermath had a devastating impact on my mental health. I am in much better shape now, but I am still dealing with the consequences to this day. Spending 4 years of my life working hard on this game and then keeping it hidden from players was one of the many reasons that led to this situation.

We cannot launch this game with a profit, but we can launch it without one. So, here we are.

Because the game is unprofitable, consider it official ABANDONWARE and don't say I didn't warn you! Do not expect any updates or support, and do not expect this game to stay online forever. Accept the game AS IS, with all its flaws, bugs, and imperfections. It has some :)

However, this game has many similarities with our other games, so, in case you need an advice, we have an amazing community of players who could probably help you on our forums and Discord.

From our end we will try to guarantee the servers of the game will be up and running as long as our company exists and could handle the costs.

I hope you will find the game enjoyable at least for some time and its unique mechanics will provide you with either adrenaline in PvP or a chill in PvE (whatever you choose to take).

Stay healthy and happy,
Sincerely yours,
Artem Shpytiak
