Blade Raids Week
Get those daggers and cutlasses ready, mates! From September 20 - 26, this week is hereby declared as Blade Raids Week! Pirates are going to go on a fort raiding spree with their entire Guilds and Crews!

What's so different about these raids, you ask? Instead of attacking a fort at random, all Pirates are going to meet at a common location and lay down a plan of action to raid a chosen fort. But it's not going to be just one big raid. Pirates will be doing multiple, large scale raids on different forts every day. Since Pirates will only be using daggers and cutlasses during these raids (Blade Raids, savvy?), make sure your plan of action gives you the element of surprise. Don't want those blasted Navy and EITC getting the best of us, now do we?

Here's what you need to do for Blade Raids Week. Pick a time and fort from the schedule below. Gather your mates and meet at the appointed fort. Join forces with any other Pirates who show up at that fort and let that fort have it!

Sharpen your blades and prepare to unleash an epic Pirate assault! Storm that fort and remember, leave no loot behind!

Sounds like fun, but why? Is that a Disney thing or something you came up with James? I don't understand. Probably just to keep you guys busy while us testers are busy.

EDIT: Just tried to go to the POTCO site to check and I got the proxy error. -_-

I didn't come up with... :)
 

It's a Current News article for The Pirates Online site, I didn't come up with it. :bookishfj7::piratewheelgo2:

I tried going there, but it came up with the Proxy Error.

well its there

i see it too

I might join... if i'm not busy trying to get a Legendary Cursed Blade on test ....

Nice...

Guilds have been doing raids for years. Nice to see Disney catching up on the idea. If they steal my Survival Regatta - i'm going to be ticked!

Ha, indeed EC. They steal our petty officer idea, and now our raids? Hopefully they don't steal Blockade or Poker Night either!

Ehh... I probably wont go... I would prefer to raid a fort with just my guild and maybe a few other close guilds, not a bunch of strangers... never know who you will meet up with, thats why I dont like events like this....

Just did the first blade raid. Not sure what that was all about, pretty boring for a high level like me.

Igor asks
 

Igor wonders if this is why the re spon speeds seamed to be up? Igor say Igor was having a hard time helping some mates get there nades this weekend.

Monkeys says raiding forts is kinda boring. Monkeys says that Igor makes me want to talk like this. Monkeys likes talking in third person. Monkeys only raids forts to help friends. Monkeys thinks this is just something to distract us.

Monkeys is done talking in third person.

Anyone notice that they seem to be doing a lot more events like this lately?
