User blog comment:StephenTheLooter/What do you guys think should be the next update?/@comment-1140008-20120115152500

I can list about a hundred things that should be the next update. However, I can say it is safe to say that this year will be a productive one in terms of how many updates they'll make. One, they have fundings from On Stranger Tides coming out, two, Ship Customization has brought a TON of new players. (Yes, I mean a ton. Have you seen some servers? It's a massive clump of light sloops in-between Port Royal and Tortuga.) I think the most likely things that we will see this year are a new Story Quest (Not necessarily something tied to the Kraken, but maybe), and possibly weather, as they said in late 2010 that they were in the early stages of that. (Via YouTube Channel)

So, again, this year will probably be productive, with about the same amount of updates as 2010. (maybe more)
