Catchup time from a slow Easter weekend, firstly Bounty Bay Online has now entered closed beta, interested gamers should register at the site linked above. It may be too late for this first phase of the beta but you might get a place in the coming weeks.

Pirates, Merchants & Explorers takes players into a fifteenth century historical setting. Adventurers can start an online career as merchant, buccaneer, fisherman or one of many other professions. Players fight on land and water, complete enthralling quests and found guilds with other players.

Bounty Bay Online is due to launch in the second quarter of this year.
