Keep to the Code Mates!
May 15, 2009



Recently the EITC have been seen interrogating Pirates! We're glad to see that Pirates from all over the Caribbean are getting into the story -- some of you have even sided with the EITC as spies!

Role-playing is great, but in any situation, always be respectful to your fellow Pirates! Harassing or threatening Pirates that don't want to role-play is not only rude, but could get you removed from the game. If you want to confront other Pirates and role play as an agent of the EITC, take the action into PVP and respect Pirates that decline your offer. Read the Pirates Code of Conduct - avoid actions that could cause your account to be suspended!

EVENT - Introducing Crew Up Days

Did you know when you're in a crew you get special bonuses and can level your Pirate up faster? It's true! Crewmates can also help you complete Quests quicker and perform other hard-to-finish tasks with ease.

Whether you're looking to join a crew or start one, we want you to join us weekly for Crew Up Days. You'll meet Pirates from all walks of life (maybe even a GM or two), ready to crew and set off for adventure!

Don't want to wait? Crew now by boarding a public ship!

Crew Up Days
When: 7-8 PM PST, every Friday & Saturday night starting May 22
Where:Port Royal Beach (where Shipwright Darby Drydock is located) on Antiros and Baraba Oceans

NOTE: During the event, please be respectful to your fellow pirates - DO NOT participate in disruptive behavior and STOW YER WEAPONS.

Shipwrights to Offer New Ship Names May 15, 2009

A few months back we gave Pirates a chance to submit your own ship names for addition to the Ship Naming Menu. You really stepped up to the challenge, responding with thousands of great names!

We were looking for unique and creative names that worked with our current list of ship names. Names like Malicious Squirrel, Student Driver and Silent Buttdeadly -- offered us a good chuckle -- didn't get selected, for obvious reasons. Copyrighted names were also not acceptable.

We picked 38 names. These new names have been added to our latest game update and will be available very soon from any Shipwright.

Thanks to all the Pirates that submitted names, including the following Pirates, whose names were selected:

Thomas Warmonk, Sir Henry Esq, Li Heartloather, Ashton Seawalker, Molly Ironscarlett, Joseph Cannonshot, Richard, Bald Kane Johnson, Liz, William Blastshot, Bartholomew Calicobones, William Ironeagle, Roger Firekidd, Angel Bladefury, James Hookcrash, Captain Rob, Presley Love, Tracy Goodshot, Santiago, Dustin, Irate Pirate, Johnny Cannoneagle, Solomon Ironhawk, Sasuke, Elizabeth Seahawk, Victoria Morgan, Jack Smithbuckle, Maria Fireheart, Edgar McMorgan and Hector Gunhawk.
