Ok, well I got cursed at 12noon pacific... and was attacked, and did attack back.
Outcome... I feel sorry for the low levels that ran up and attacked me.
I remained cursed until the curse was broken across the caribbean and I turned back into a pirate.
Interesting fact I discovered:
Cursed pirates cannot be healed (my guildmate could NOT heal me).
If you like this sort of thing, its better to be cursed....
Cursed piratess can attack anyone (Pirates cursed or not)
Pirates not cursed can only attack cursed pirates.
Next phase im going to test if you change when in a Jungle (unless someone posts information on that)
