New name: Crosswind is now Windrose

[h2]Crosswind is now Windrose[/h2][p]Ahoy, mateys![/p][p]A while ago we announced our shift from free-to-play live service Survival MMO to a buy-to-play Survival Adventure. [/p][p]We thank you for your understanding and patience, even though this change is heavy and it narrows down the scope of the game quite a lot. The game has become something very different from what we initially planned, but our excitement for the journey ahead is the same. To set this in stone, we decided to rename the game, and from now on, it will sail under the new name: Windrose.[/p][p]We believe this change reflects the new direction we’ve chosen: it’s more about exploration, adventure, treasure hunting and having a good time with your friends as opposed to power struggle, PvP, intense live service schedule and massively multiplayer experience. [/p][p]While this—practically—new game is far less ambitious in scope, it comes with some benefits not possible before, like dedicated servers, offline play, and classic buy-it-once experience that keeps things simple and lets you play whenever you want. And, what’s more important, our passion for the Age of Piracy is not going anywhere: we are still very, very YARRRR![/p][p]In the following days, our various social media pages and descriptions will be changing accordingly—don’t be surprised and bear with us. We will work hard so that this journey is still worth it on the new course.

Yours,
Windrose Crew[/p][p]
