ArcheAge to include Piracy

Not the illegal kind, but rather the ability to be an actual sea-faring pirate in the game. This has been integrated into the PvP system where players who kill other players will be flagged as an "outlaw". Your bad karma will increase in points and eventually unlock the pirate expedition force.

Pirate factions can only be joined by other pirate players, and you will not be able to interact with NPCs in the game's starter continents. Guards will also attack you if you get close. Pirates however, do get their own island filled with friendly NPCs and quests.
