WOO HOO, when is this coming to live.. (plz reply back)

French and Spanish hats? Something we have in-game that I've missed out on?

No one knows when it will hit live. It stays on test til it's tested. For the most part...

Played a few of the mini games. Not impressed at all. I'm not paying 80 a year to play tetris or guide a saw through a plank of wood. I'll leave it at that.

No idea on timeline Max. Give us a week minimum, maybe 3 weeks max.

I personally think these minigames are kinda fun, the fishing has something to do, and for all we know they can tie in with the NEW future quests. I like the new abilities of running, and burping and etc. Though they need that kraken now. Also I like that they added the reputation charts for fishing, and also potions.

Aye, The New Mini-Games are very cool, and they are not stupid. I actually had quite a fun time testing them out until Maintenance just started.

IMO, I'd rather spend time brewing potions than to set sail and sink ships.

It's obvious that these minigames were added for a younger group... so now we need things for us older players.

However, for some of the older people that like puzzel games, the potions making will be really fun. I like it... but it's time consuming and failing is not fun.

The only minigame I don't like so far... is repairing ships. It's boring... Why is it in 2D? That's not cool. Make it in 3D and we're talking, but right now it's... arcade play.

Really? I'm an old player, and I'm actually enjoying these minigames myself.

I like the current updates. They might not be what many want, but they're still fun for others. My favorite part is the new potions added to the game, I just wonder how that will help out in regular gameplay now.

oh thanks but i think it might come out in about two or three weeks? what do u think?

Aye, I agree i like the new update. They still need to add The New Fishing, and The New Land Cannon's Mini-Games. :)

lol i can see it now on abbasa.... noobs showing off there potions they created, pirates fighting for the best sailing spots.. its gonn get funny here.. ahh noobs...

1 week max it will take. its not that big an update
