Friday the 13th Strikes Again - April 12, 2012

[J.T.]

Pirates know full well that Friday the 13th is the unluckiest day of the year – and this year we face no less than three. Never one to miss a chance for troublemaking, Jolly Roger means to use this bad-luck weekend to his good advantage.

Curses fly all weekend, starting this Friday the 13th, when Jolly unleashes his Curse of the Muertos Moon. Any Pirate on land and outdoors that is struck by the cursed moonlight transforms into one of Jolly’s undead minions. Beware those skeletal Pirates seeking to do battle under Jolly Roger’s blight - or shatter his spell by defeating them.


Seeking safety from the vile hex by putting
out to sea? Ye may just sail straight into
Jolly’s trap, as he’s ordered increased
patrols of Ghost Ships all weekend during
the Curse.

WHAT: The Curse of the Muertos Moon & Ghost Ship fleets
WHEN: Friday, April 13 – Sunday, April 15
On yer toes, mates – the Curse and Ghost Ship fleets can strike multiple times in one day.


We Pirates make our own fortune, and wearing the Garb of the Undead may be yer lucky charm.

Peddlers bring back Pirates' favorite gear for a limited time starting today – now including the tattered coat for lady Pirates!



An unlucky turn may many times bring plunder to those brave enough to weather the storm...

[Captain Del]

YES!


I absolutely LOVE the Muertos Moon! Del is going to have plenty of fun with this!

I'm more interested in seeing what these Ghost Ship fleets are. Is it just like, more skeleton ships sailing around like they did in 2010, or are these legit fleets?

Also, yay! I can finally get my Zombie Pirate's Coat!

[Dark_Pixie]

With ya on that, Del! Except for when the speed glitchers come to play...

I'm happy that the female coat finally came out. Now the outfit is complete. This is going to be a good Friday the 13th...

I just realised how strange that sounded.

[Crimson Rose]

Ew! I think the undead garb is yuchie. "I wouldn't be caught dead in that outfit."

Crimson Rose comes face to face with a disgusting monster.

I'm curious about this, too. I can't wait to see if they really are fleets! (epic plunder runs ~_~)

I was just on early in the morning, and I got the announcement that there would be an invasion of Port Royal. That's the middle of the night west coast, early morning east coast, early afternoon in Europe and evening in Asia. Never seen one at that time before. I have the feeling the POTCO staff are really going to lay it on today.

I was on the Vachira server and went down to the beach about 5 minutes before the action was supposed to start. I checked both beaches, and I was the only one there, so I hopped over to Andaba. What would have happened if I had tried to meet the invasion on my own, I wonder. Each brigade consisting of 3 creatures? No invasion at all? Me overwhelmed by huge hordes? I should have stuck around and seen.

[Davy_Mcwrecker]

Fewer and weaker enemies.

[Crimson Rose]

I tried it again 4 hours later. I was all alone on the Savica server. There were only 2 brigades of undead and a rather weak-seeming Jolly Roger. I defeated the lot (well, after being sent to jail twice. Jolly Roger walked right over top of me. Brute!)

[Crimson Rose]

Thanks for the interesting day, POTCO. I had fun.
