Marry The Night is a pirate wannabe
Forgive me if I'm wrong, as I haven't been paying attention to the game much until recently, but I'm getting a feeling that there will be an update to follow. Around summertime most likely, since that's when a lot of players will be out of school and have more time to play.

"... and this may not be the end of the mysteries simmering beneath Padres del Fuego’s lava."

I just feel like this weapon, albeit a redeem code, is a sort of precursor to a new story quest; be it a large, Black Pearl-length quest (which I do hope for, considering it's been a looong time since the last update), or a mid-sized, Raven's Cove-esque story quest. And the recent news articles, in my opinion, are pointing towards one. Again, I may be wrong, but why would they say "...this may not be the end of the mysteries" if there's nothing else to follow?

I also think simply putting this weapon in loot, however (maybe just on Padres, similar to how one can only find Cursed Blades on Raven's/Tormenta), would have been a better idea in the long run for POTCO. Releasing it as a redeem code, players who aren't entirely active will likely just log on, redeem the code, and log off again. If they really wanted to keep players in the game, it should have been made lootable instead. Make the players log on and work for it.
