Have you ever thought of being a Merchant in the service of your Queen? Or a feared Pirate, plunderer and expert sailor, sought after by several kingdoms? Well, that you can find here in the universe of Merchants & Marauders!

In Merchants & Marauders you can live the life of an influential Merchant or a feared Pirate in the Caribbean during the Golden Age of Piracy. Build your fortune through trading, quests, hunting for rumors and, of course, looting! Modify your vessel, buy impressive sails, load it with deadly special ammunition and hire expert sailors to be part of your crew. Will your Captain win eternal glory or will he find his tomb beneath the stormy surface of the Caribbean Sea?

Your objective during the match is to earn 10 Glory Points, which can be obtained by successfully completing quests, uncovering true rumours, defeating your enemies (whether they are players or NPCs), burying gold, performing epic loot, selling large amounts of goods on demand at a particular port or by purchasing large vessels.

The big “snapshot” of the game is knowing the right moment to become a Pirate or decide to remain a Trader. However, both choices are fraught with danger as Pirates are hunted by Naval vessels and prevented from docking at certain ports while Merchants are hunted by Pirates NPCs and PCs and often have to sacrifice combat strength to increase their carrying capacity.

There is no elimination of players in the game, although players can destroy ships or kill captains of other players. Players with dead captains or destroyed ships can draw new captains (with a penalty), so it is possible to rejoin the game after a defeat.

So get ready, because the battle in the Caribbean Sea is about to begin! On deck you stinking sailors, raise the anchor, lower the sails and we'll set sail, Merchants & Marauders is coming!
