Is it really true?

Clues to the Jolly Rogers curse were given to us when the GMs visited the game. Many of the details are unknown and all pirates are a we bit nervous about the impending curse that be upon us.

Thar be rumored items that ye may have that Jolly Roger is obessessed to be a getting, so watch yer backs on Hallows eve mateys...

Maybe there will be special skeletons running around and turning pirates into skeletons!Maybe if we're turned into a skeleton we will turn into a skeleton with the same level as us,for example,if you're level 9,you would turn into an Undead Witchdoctor,or if you're on Cutthroat Isle,and you're level 26,you would turn into a Spanish Undead Captain!Another possibility is when you're turned into a skeleton,you get to choose what skeleton you want to turn in to,or else choose parts of an Undead skeleton to put on,like when you first create your character,so then I could be half-Undead Conquestadore and half-Undead Pirate.

I've been thinking about this some more. Usually the days/nights cycle fairly quickly on the game. Is it possible that at a given time on Halloween the game will got into night mode for an extended period of time?

I believe, based on the GMs' clues, that anytime you step outside of a building you will instantly become undead. But since they stressed pirates banding together, I really don't think it's going to be like a PvP free-for-all. Of course they were playing it close to the vest, so I could have misinterperated their meaning.

I just hope, at the very least, that they've fixed the lag issues by then.
