Come sail the high seas in Achaea! The long-awaited release of our ships have arrived, broadening our world from horizon to horizon. Achaeans may now captain multi-room vessels through the vast oceans of our realm, navigating through uncharted waters to discover farflung, exotic islands!

With a sailing system complex enough to feel multi-dimensional yet simple enough to be fun, a gigantic ocean with thousands of rooms (via our ANSI grid-based wilderness map), ship cabins which can be expanded and personalized by the owners, and the chance to be the first to discover new lands, ships have added a new and vivid depth to Achaea. "One of the things I like best about sailing around the oceans is the perspective it gives you on how HUGE the world of Achaea is," says one of our players.

This is only the beginning, however. Naval combat, treasure diving, deep sea fishing, sea monster encounters, seaspells, and much more are under development, not to mention numerous new islands for exploration!

That looks quite interesting. I especially like the fact that you don't immediately turn in the direction you specify and it takes time to swing the ship around

You killed the joke... man... so wrong...

Gratz, that's been a long awaited feature that looks great.
