From Steven:
I was wondering why some POTC online players (avatars) over level 30 can do things like play a guitar or sweep with a brush??!! What is this and how do they do this? Thanks!

This sounds like a case of our DEV's showing off! Stay tuned for fun emotes that may be unlocked by certain quests and notoriety gains.

The leaderboard link isn't working for me.
It goes to a page from the main site, but there's nothing on the page.

what does it mean on the leaderboard: Number of wins in pvp mayaym, because i have won 3 time there

Were the wins very recent? Maybe they just didn't get them in time.

Edit: I'm wondering if this is a daily thing or a weekly?
