. . . . . "Haunted Seas (often abbreviated as HS) are outposts inhabited by ghostly ships, led by the Brigand King Barnabas the Pale. Clues as to the existence of Haunted Seas were first seen on July 29, 2010, when three inscriptions were discovered on various islands across all production oceans except Crimson. These riddles were quickly solved, and the Haunted Seas were officially announced on July 31. They were released to production oceans on August 24, 2010. Voyages to the Haunted Seas are a form of sea monster hunt, similar to Cursed Isles and Atlantis, but there are various differences. Boarding battles are swordfights, ghostly enemy ships are able to move through rocks, and the primary means of earning treasure is through entering shipwreck graveyards, defeating the ghosts within and then hauling the wreckage. All battles which take place on Haunted Seas are sinking. Everyone on board the ship must either have a bravery badge or be subscribed for the vessel to set sail."@en . .
