Star Pirates Ascension 2: One Month On


It’s the one month launch anniversary of Ascension 2. A2 is the much loved, but demanding, expansion of StarPirates.net, Snakehead Games’ flagship text-based browser RPG. Ascension 2 allows advanced players to reboot their character in a standalone mission. While in the mission they aren’t able to use some of the social features of the game, so it’s much more of a “hell mode” than the normal game. Once completed though, all the experience and loot make their way back to [...]

Thankful Again. Thankful Always.


You know, I saw a post from Howard Tayler @ Schlock Mercenary. Now we like Schlock, and they like us. We have a custom ad deal with them as our communities overlap a lot. I read and enjoy the comic – it’s best read in longer sweeps, so it’s almost a shame that I like the present story like so much I’m reading it every day. Anyway, we feel an affiliate more towards online SciFi comics, than other online games. [...]

StarPirates Ascension 2 Details Released


Ascensions are the “Game within the Game” expansion to www.starpirates.net. They enable experienced players to relive the joys, and struggles, of their early days in the game. The first hours of playing in Ascension resemble that of “Hunger Games” with wholesale chaos, and mad scrambles for power. Soon after the Ascension experience turns into more of a hide-and-seek leveling project bound with a tight story that unleashes both more knowledge of the StarPirates Universe, and new types of items, critters, [...]
