UPDATE: It's rumored the Black Guard will be roaming the town of Port Royal during the hours of 3:30PM - 5PM (B named Oceans) Friday, May 8 and 11AM - 1PM, and 2PM -3PM Saturday, May 9! (All times Pacific.) Be on the lookout Pirates, report any sightings!

I agree with Sven. I like the idea, even though it doesn't give any new content as far as rep, weapons or quests. It does give us a chance to role play.

The only problems I have are:

A) The unfortunate timing. Going home rush hour and dinner time today, and 2 to 4 and 5 to 6 (Eastern) on Saturday, The weekend.

B) The shortness of the event.

C) The limited notice. Why did they wait until today to announce this?

They should do things like this at various times, and multiple days over a week time period. Give everyone a fair chance to be involved.

Also, I'm hoping this is a preliminary lead in to the upcoming new release that is coming. Remember, they always do something just before a new release. Load up the ocean around PDF just before the new PDF. The heavy EITC presence on PR just before the new PR. Etc.

Agreed Basil. I'm not going to even be online tomorrow for this since I have other obligations during those times. I was out tonight so oh well. Wish they would have made it at random times in random places... or else you get what you see above in Sven O's screenshots when you name the time and place. Lots of people... and chaos. True I wasn't there but that's what it looks like. Kind of looks like the GM had to improvise with the running.
