Overlord of the Sea

Pirate-themed Browser-based Games

: BBGsite Editor:; Pirates, who refer to the people that commit robberies on the sea, have lived in the world since ships started to sail a very long time ago. In particular, pirates emerged in all the developed coastal zones in the 16th century when ocean travel was fairly popular. Now, a majority of people consider pirates to be legendary and magical on account of pirates??mysteriousness and specialness, and pirate-themed games also spring up without stop. It can be said that “pirate??has become a sought-after fashion trend in the current browser-based game industry. Today, let’s have a close look at the pirate culture indicative of freedom and mysteries.; share:

1.Why do people worship pirates?: In ancient Europe, people were tortured by pirates bitterly. Though pirates always represent the evil in the European history, more and more people are now deeming pirates as idols, and many even fancy that pirates have firmly grasp their hearts as a culture. Have you even thought about the question as to how pirates appeal to people? In fact, pirates are not heinous robbers in most people’s eyes. Instead, their bravery and adventurous spirit stimulate the common people to head for freedom. Meanwhile, the pirate culture also accounts to exploring the world valiantly and despising all difficulties. Nothing can knock down the pirates that aspire to adventures. Such a special culture unconsciously inspires people to explore unknown fields with resolution and courage.

2. Comparison Between Eastern and Western Pirate Cultures: In ancient times, not only Europe but also other parts of the world were eroded by pirates as seaways were put into operation and overseas colonies were formed. Similar pirate groups also existed in ancient China. Different from western pirates, Chinese ones were passive rebels, and most of them were forced to engage in this circle owing to the government’s cruel oppression. Thus, they were protected and taken care of by the general public that had similar sufferings. On the contrary, western pirates were active “invaders??and regarded piracy as a behavior symbolizing bravery. Having wider space for exploration, they appeared heroic and mysterious, and were worshiped. They were even thought to be an important drive for the social development.

3. Images of Pirates: Speaking of pirates, what will you think of? Black flags, swords with blood, ships setting sail, or piles of glistening gold? I believe that pirates always stand for freedom and unruliness to lots of people’s mind. Pirate-themed novels, films and games come out with no stop in recent years, and help raise the mysterious veil of pirates. An increasingly large number of people reckon that pirates are an unruly and mysterious group that would sacrifice their lives for treasures. So, what kind of pirate do you want to be?
