Founders???

[jadedstatik]

Guild of all founders? I'm interested in knowing more.

I'm a founder but I quit playing for a long time (lack of new things to do, money, and time) but I've started playing again recently and I don't plan on taking any more extended breaks any time soon.

[Captain Sharktooth]

Yes, there is a guild of all Founders. It doesn't have many people in it though.

[Captain Del]

My guild and I like to keep a joke running from PIC - whenever we see a "Flounder," we screech out in guild about the oh-so-shiny gold tag. After all, we are pirates.

Founders have become a rarity, though. They still do exist, just in smaller numbers than before. So much so, I find myself hard pressed to find one aside from the ones in my guild, and those that only come out at large, usually Disney-run events.

There is a community of founders that do reside on their own little site, which I have the pleasure of being a guest at. But outside of that place, you more than likely are going to have trouble finding regularly-active founders.

Regardless, while it is sad to see the group of pirates that founded the game have diminished, it warms many hearts to see that a newer generation of pirates has come to take up the torch. And I'm sure this cycle will unfortunately continue, with more pirates coming to take on what the Caribbean, and take the spots of those who have left us...

...Except for Del, who is too bitter and too far in to give up any time soon

Welcome back! Lot of things ye missed mate.

[HammyTheSquirrel]

dude there is barely any founders anymore. Barely. Im one, but some glitch happened and im not getting the gold name and the potco people say i was 2 days late when i signed op on the october 2007 thingy. But ya i remember the good ole times. The old maps and caves, the way u boarded ur ship on the dock, old launcher etc.

You can call me a founder :P

hey im not a founder BUT i started playing the march after the game came out and became unlimited soon after and i quit for a while i came back 2 summers ago and havent stopped playing for a long time since (i have taken a 6 week break but that wasnt by choise) and i have thinned my playing time every once and a while

and i cant find many founders but when i saw them before i wondered what the name was for and also wondered what purple and grey names were but my bro and i found out the basic/unlimited thing out and i think my bro still doesnt know

[Mr. Awesome]

I must be lucky because I see founders all the time, in fact I have a founder friend who left the game for about a year, but is now very active...

[ukebec]

I'm a founder. I've started playing again after about a year's absence. In this last month I've only encountered one other, so I'd say we're like having a most fantastic, awesome day...that is to say, scarce, but not unheard of.

Would u happen to know how I could contact someone who is still active in it? I'm not sure I'd join it with my primary pirate but I'll join it with my secondary pirate.

[Captain Sharktooth]

"Pirates & Founders Association." I know a pirate named Achilles is an Officer of it. Hope you find the guild!

[ruisen2000]

I think not only founders, but also many older players have left too. Logged in a while ago after resting for several weeks, and my friend list was still almost full, but not a single person was online

jade,

what Captain Sharktooth said above. If you have trouble contacting Achilles, you may contact me. There are quit a few Founder's that still play and have come back. We have a good group of them there.

Regards,

Actually it's called 'Founders Guild' and yes there were only ever about 20 in it, I included, for a short while. Most Founders in that guild have other Pirates scattered around the Caribbean in other equally fine guilds.

Founders do get together on the odd occasion.

[andyspins]

I've seen tons of founders! They aren't common, but they're not a rarity to me, I almost was one...
