Full Moon Fever & Other Fall Festivities --- November 4 2008

The weekend of All Hallows' Eve brought much mayhem to the Caribbean. We saw undead Pirates dancing around like zombies while both higher and lower level Pirates were swayed to Jolly Roger's evil cause ...

But thanks to Pirates like yourself, we were able to keep the curse contained to just a few days, fight off Jolly's undead army, and delay his plans - at least for now. With the madness of the Muertos Moon behind us, it's time to look ahead to the month of November.

In the Caribbean, fall is a time for the autumn harvest. It's a time to reflect on the year and give thanks for the bounty of the islands. We'll celebrate the autumn harvest with Pirates all over the Caribbean later this month with a grand Founders Feast on the beaches of Tortuga! The feast, hosted by our GMs and Founders will feature musicians, dancing and other traditions, and surprises that date back to European harvest festivals of old. Join us for the Founders Feast, November 27, 28, 29, and 30 on the beaches of Tortuga.

Another event you'll want to mark on your calendar is the Tavern Takeover happening in taverns around the Caribbean later this month. Our GMs will be in-game telling Pirates of some great new additions to the Caribbean - more details on this event are coming soon! Discuss it in the Grog Blog.

Extreme Makeover: Pirates Online Edition November 03, 2008
Pirates of the Caribbean Online partnered with Extreme Makeover: Home Edition to bring a little Pirates magic into the life of Job McCully, a 10-year-old boy in Arkansas who is a leukemia survivor that endured a bone marrow and double lung transplant. In an episode that aired this past Sunday on ABC, the Pirates Online Crew helped the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition team redesign Job's room. Did you see the episode? What did you think?

Full Moon Fever November 03, 2008
Spooky things happened in the Caribbean this Halloween - and the winds and tides were not the only thing affected by the full moon. Jolly Roger worked his magic to bring a horrible curse to the Caribbean - and enslave all the Pirates of the Caribbean as part of his undead army! Did you participate in the event? What did you think of it?

No.
Pirates has already made it clear that if you didn't become a founder then you can't become one now.
It would make no sense to become a founder a year after the game launched.

If that's what you ment.

Yes, that'd be nice but if they let you become founders a year later after the game it gives no meaning to the word founders.
It's like turning in your homework late and getting full credit.

If everyone has gold names that just takes away the purpose of what a founder REALLY is.
As far as a gold name. I think if they would give out gold names that would be ok. BUT...only if they didn't get the golden F by their name when they get it.

That way founders are still founders and not just another person in that gold crowd.
