Flying Lab Software has announced the official launch of Pirates of the Burning Sea.

We are now live! As of now, you need an Activation Key to play. Your Activation Key is included in your retail box.

If you purchased the game via digital download from SOE¡¯s Station Store, you will not receive an Activation Key and instead your account is automatically enabled to play.

If you purchased the game via digital download from another store, you will receive your Activation Key in email this morning circa our launch time. If you have not received your Activation Key from a digital download purchase, please contact a customer service representative from the store where you made your purchase.

If you do have an Activation Key, you will be prompted to enter it when you first log in to the game. You can also do this on the web by visiting your SOE Station account page and entering it there.

If you have a Landing Party Key because you bought the special preorder retail box, this is an optional key and is not required to play. The Landing Party Key enables all characters you create to use /claim to retrieve your parrot & swords preorder bonus items. Characters who already used /claim during the preboarding period keep their parrot & swords even without using the Landing Party key. If you need to apply your Landing Party key, do so at the same SOE Station account page where you entered your Activation Key.
