    Okay, so maybe you're one of the folks who are just burned out on pirates. Perhaps the idea of ship-to-ship battles gets you going, but you're the type who prefers to stay on the good side of the law. Never fear! There are many other things to do in Pirates of the Burning Sea than just being a pirate! As the PotBS community site points out, the game will feature something many EVE players know all about -- economic gameplay. To quote them: "Economic gameplay has no level restrictions. If you can dream it, you can build it." Curious? Then get on over to Fileplanet and get into the PotBS stress test now!To go along with the idea of making your own goods and amassing much wealth, we're announcing the final prize for today's Pirates of the Burning Sea giveaways. One lucky winner will walk off with the uber-piratey prize -- a wooden treasure chest chock full of PotBS swag, courtesy of the folks at Flying Lab Software! As they told us "We'll give the winner a wooden treasure-chest with two PotBS t-shirts; one that says "Support Piracy" and another that says "Getting Booty since 1720" as well as the official PotBS map!" As always per the official rules, you must be 18+, a U.S. resident, and not afraid to make your own fortunes. So if you want to be entered, leave a comment below before tomorrow (11/16) at 8:30 PM Eastern, and you too could walk away with this treasure chest full of sweet PotBS booty!
