Im sure it will be fun for those that get the opportunity.

Recommendation: Those already having some contact with the GMs, should be leaders in the community, and let those that are not as blessed with such opportunities to interact with the GMs instead. Besides if the GMs keep rubbing elbows with all the same people, they are not getting a full range of input on the game, which is inevitably part of their intention in these events.
When I logged into the game and saw this, I thought, Hmmm , Something new! Then I read it a second time, and thought, Hmmm, Only for the Noobs!

Read the entire thing! "Are you in a crew? Are you in a guild?" This event IS NOT for virtually ANY of you/us that are posting here! This is to get noobs more involved, and not have them just standing around on Abassa, wondering what to do next.

All of you who are posting about how much fun this is gonna be, you are all senior players. You should not / do not need to be taught how to crew or guild. You shouldn't need help aquiring cannon reps or gold.

If I were one of the GM's, I wouldn't crew or sail with anyone over level 12, or a founder, or anyone who immediately starts asking about what's going to come out 'new'. Obviously, those pirates already know all the stuff that this event is about.

As Zep states in his recommendation above: Let those who haven't had the opportunities interact with the GM's instead!


EDIT: I don't know why Disney doesn't actually have someone , a GM, standing at the end of the pier on Abassa, and give advice to "NEW" players. Especially regarding making friends, joining a guild, using chat, etc. These are items that aren't immediatley obvious to the new player, and would enhance the entire gaming experience.
