Sea Dogs Online is Rusian version of POTBS?

[Thagarr]

I ran across this this morning, from what I gather from the Google translation POTBS is going online in Russia under the name Sea Dogs Online?? Maybe this at least partially explains the delay for City of Abandoned Ships? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" /> Any body out there good with Russian?

Indeed, that would be correct Thagarr. Akella is even advertising it on thier russian language website already and I believe I saw mention of it somewhere on the PotBS web site.

Thank ye kindly Cap'n_Drow! Just wanted to make sure I was reading that correctly. I think it's unfortunate they chose the name Sea Dogs though, as it has absolutely nothing to do with the original Sea Dogs.
