Keep to the Code Mates!
May 15, 2009



Recently the EITC have been seen interrogating Pirates! We're glad to see that Pirates from all over the Caribbean are getting into the story -- some of you have even sided with the EITC as spies!

Role-playing is great, but in any situation, always be respectful to your fellow Pirates! Harassing or threatening Pirates that don't want to role-play is not only rude, but could get you removed from the game. If you want to confront other Pirates and role play as an agent of the EITC, take the action into PVP and respect Pirates that decline your offer. Read the Pirates Code of Conduct - avoid actions that could cause your account to be suspended!

EVENT - Introducing Crew Up Days
May 15, 2009




Did you know when you're in a crew you get special bonuses and can level your Pirate up faster? It's true! Crewmates can also help you complete Quests quicker and perform other hard-to-finish tasks with ease.

Whether you're looking to join a crew or start one, we want you to join us weekly for Crew Up Days. You'll meet Pirates from all walks of life (maybe even a GM or two), ready to crew and set off for adventure!

Don't want to wait? Crew now by boarding a public ship!

Crew Up Days
When: 7-8 PM PST, every Friday & Saturday night starting May 22
Where:Port Royal Beach (where Shipwright Darby Drydock is located) on Antiros and Baraba Oceans

NOTE: During the event, please be respectful to your fellow pirates - DO NOT participate in disruptive behavior and STOW YER WEAPONS.

Shipwrights to Offer New Ship Names May 15, 2009

A few months back we gave Pirates a chance to submit your own ship names for addition to the Ship Naming Menu. You really stepped up to the challenge, responding with thousands of great names!

We were looking for unique and creative names that worked with our current list of ship names. Names like Malicious Squirrel, Student Driver and Silent Buttdeadly -- offered us a good chuckle -- didn't get selected, for obvious reasons. Copyrighted names were also not acceptable.

We picked 38 names. These new names have been added to our latest game update and will be available very soon from any Shipwright.

Thanks to all the Pirates that submitted names, including the following Pirates, whose names were selected:

Thomas Warmonk, Sir Henry Esq, Li Heartloather, Ashton Seawalker, Molly Ironscarlett, Joseph Cannonshot, Richard, Bald Kane Johnson, Liz, William Blastshot, Bartholomew Calicobones, William Ironeagle, Roger Firekidd, Angel Bladefury, James Hookcrash, Captain Rob, Presley Love, Tracy Goodshot, Santiago, Dustin, Irate Pirate, Johnny Cannoneagle, Solomon Ironhawk, Sasuke, Elizabeth Seahawk, Victoria Morgan, Jack Smithbuckle, Maria Fireheart, Edgar McMorgan and Hector Gunhawk.

Winning Names:
Siren
Avenger
Morning
Rose
Iron
Viking
Midnight
Wrath
Thunder
Maelstorm
Wicked
Chariot
Golden
Griffin
Floundering
Witch

[Liz Fireburn]

Oh joy bonuses!! How great that is for us mastered pirates....

great job disney

[Erich Uchiha]

Well, this is a bit disapointing my Cousin invited me to play WoW but i'm keeping my faith in Disney. c'mon Disney bring us something besides reminding us about crewing every month!

[Stephen O'Malley]

Everyone gathers crews on a regular basis, what makes this event so special? Double normal bonus with crews? I can get a 100% bonus now?

[jason davy]

This is odd... O_o

[League]

I saw Star twice, and I saw Maria Fireheart once. Hmm?

[Jack Sunskull]

What's up with the front page, it was looked good when I posted the first two announcements at noon and now it's screwed up.

[League]

Checking on the other thread, it seems Star is both a first name and a second name. I wonder how that will work out.

Shipwrights to Offer New Ship Names May 15, 2009....

But will we be able to change the names of already owned ships? All but one of my pirates already has a full war fleet. Would be pretty low if the naming winners could't use the name they won with.

[swashbuckler II]

well swash-mobile wasnt accepted xD

[Commodore Larence]

Wow... I have been critical of Disney over the last couple of months for the lack of game content, now I am just confused. Really this is classified by them as news? They keep telling us to keep the code, and tons of pointless information that shows up on the loading screen tips all the time any how. What will be next month? I will eat my hat if it is " Keep The Code, and remember: Don't Pet The Scorpions" .... ( Now hanging my head in disbelief...)

Thats a good point.. but I doubt it. D has to get you to spend even more money in useless ways somehow

Besides - I like the names I have now... I'll probably just stick with those

[Juliana Maria]

It would be nice if we could change them.. but maybe they will add new ships with the "major updates" we are expecting..

Well.. one can hope right? hehehe

It would be nice to finally see new ships!
I remember during the new Tortuga tours people where asking the GM (I forget which GM it was) about ship customization and he said to look for it within the next 30 days...and here we are still waiting.
