It's been rumored the EITC Black Guard are interrogating Pirates for information about the whereabouts of Captain Walter and the Marceline Guild. Be warned Pirates, these devils are also offering rewards for the Marceline Guild's capture - don't trust them mates! Instead continue to take the fight to the EITC on both land and sea!

Have you seen or been interrogated by the Black Guard? Report your encounter here.

I for one will defintly be there and participate wiht my Daughter . i am trying to show her the right way to play a MMO game like this the right way . if a parent does nnot take the time to show there kids how to play then they will never learn. At least Disney are makeing it possible for us to show our kids what to do ......And also i hope in the sceme of things i hoe this is a way in the right dirrection of getting to what we all want ... ( Hopefully ...Hehe )

mY 2 CENTS

Scrufy

Well, one can only role play so much. Weve been role playing before, ever since the GMs started showing up in the game. Unfortunately in most cases, they told us very cryptic things, that never eluded to much. So to many of us, it turned into a waste of time. Had nothing to do with enjoying role playing or not. Depending on your perspective, simply playing the game is role playing.. the role of a pirate. These role playing events they do put on, seem to play to the younger players, that are easily taken in by the speak, and the seeing of 'special' players (ie GMs) in the game. Having spoken to several of them.. I didnt find the process very entertaining.

I hope the event goes well. Have fun!

Why not just give us EITC Uniforms and a new quest where you visit a new EITC Island. More of a training camp, and you must act as an EITC guard until you find the Great Assassin Boss at level 45. Of course you would need help to defeat the boss, but this be a fight for the sea, and would actually be fun for some people just to wear an EITC costume and to just see a new island...

Role play? A bunch of noobs SHOUTING and hurling useless voodoo and grenades while the GM act out their scene - then leave?

That's not role playing. I've done role-playing and that ain't it.

The GMs need to break up into either pairs or singles and INTERACT with the players IF role-playing is what they're after.

Otherwise, let a bunch of experienced players have the opportunity to play EITC so there are more of them and on more often. The GMs could tell those players what story elements they want to push...

meh....lame-o:jack1:

arrgh, get a schedule and people may want to come, and/or at least know how to avoid you!!

I'll refrain from commenting on this one.......

What bothers me is, are the devs really the ones playing? If so, why? I'd rather see them work on the game than go out and have role playing events.

I believe the GM's are not exactly Dev's, but more like long-term testers. They have content like the Kraken and such on their plate to test out. They don't exactly program it, but they give input and thoughts about how to fix problems and also how to make something better or fix something. I mean, they could be considered Dev's, but they seem a little laid back for that.

I also believe that they can preset their level's to 40, and that's why they don't have points on their weapons, but that's just my opinion.

i just want to know whats the reward if any of u know pm me i hope its a chance to pvp a eitc guard or steal their clothes

I believe the reward is being able to interact and role play with GMs, and they may occasionally through a reward code of sorts to some pirates.
