ROFL, a skeleton playing blackjack.

[Deadpool]

That's not weird at all... even Skellies need gold...

So thats where old Darky gets his gold...

[Crestshot]

I'll play Dark at the blackjack tables! I mean, Sven said I couldn't shoot the Conquistador, so I'll shoot Dark instead, hahahaha.

Anyways. Why would they add skellies at the tables? It doesn't make sense to me.

Because they want to >.> (I think)

FINALLLY, more ships!

[Captain Sureshot]

I noticed that, in addition to the new ships, there are now two sets of War Class ships listed (same prices, same stats) when you go to a shipwright to purchase. This is probably just a glitch, but has anyone been brave (or silly) enough to purchase from the second set to see if there are any differences? If I could, I would buy as many of the new ships as I could as quickly as possible

Some notes on Fishing

• Each fish type has a unique personality - how they react to lures and how they struggle once you hook 'em
• Different fish types give different rep - some "easy" fish give pretty good rep - this may be adjusted
• All Fishing ships are sloops
• Fishing ships can be damaged by NPC ships (crossfire). Ship repair is same as regular.
• Basic members can only get to Fishing level seven (Journyman Rod)

Once you get access to the Test server, if your Live Unlimited account switches to Basic so will the corresponding Test account.

A skeleton playing Blackjack? I wonder if he's good at playing? That reminds me of this skeleton from the early Port Royal.



Has anyone bought the Ship of the Line yet?

[MacIronhawk]

I'm wondering if the phantom ship is... actually a phantom, which would explain the low statistics for it.

I'm wondering why there's no cap for them, either, and also why Disney hasn't taken them from the game, unless they're actually supposed to be there.

Disney does like to put things in without telling us, such as the new teleportation animation and swimming animation.(which look good, actually)

Let's just cross our fingers and hope these ships are for real. And since there's no cap, I think any tester should try their hardest to get the amount of money needed for one of these ships.(their all frigate type ships, so maybe this means a new set of galleon and sloop ships will be coming?)

[charle88]

Wait, so even the Kingfisher and Cerberus ships are frigates? Shouldn't they be sloops?

[Sven Osymthe]

No, all the images appear as frigates. The ships themselves are not.

[KeeperOfTheCode]

I must say, I'm impressed. This is perhaps the first thing they've done that I've actually been giddy about. Looks like they were just saving it for now! Keep up the good work Disney!

This is one BIG update! New guild ranks finally more ships,fishing this should keep us busy for a while and there selling the ship of the line?!?!. I wonder how much cargo it holds.
