Double reps.....now is the time to master grenades if you haven't already....trust me on this.

why are they doing this again! Im sorry for all of those basics but, why not give triple rep for all the loyal players that have stayed with the game even though there is a serious lack of new content and important updates. Im glad that at least they are doing an effort to lure new paying customers, but you also have to hang to those that havent quit or cancelled their accounts by now.

I really wanted them to do the moonthing agai but i guess this is ok too.

Double rep is going to help a lot of people master. A lot of Master pirates means a lot more pirates with nothing to do. Triple rep would be three times as bad.

We can only hope the % of new sign ups meets or exceeds their set goal. How they distribute the funds is another story. Hopefully much of it will go towards development.

It only says double rep, not double gold.

It's a marketing ploy. Tease the basics with free unlimited, so they can see the difference, then double rep, but only for unlimited.

I'm just glad they are holding this on separate weekends. If there was double rep on the same weekend that all the basics are unlimited, I wouldn't get double rep.

What I meant was... that why bother doing this... I don't care about mastery of my pirates. I know that a lot of you guys have all 4 mastered pirates. Who cares about Double rep. It is a weak ploy to keep some entertained, and in awe because of the caring and loving people at Disney gaming are so great to us. The need to stop this nonsense and get though. Reduce the amount of activities for basics then give the free weekend. As for the unlimited players give something extra, some thing that matters. not rep or gold. im sure they can do better. a lot better. I know that some have a pirate that they want to master or are trying to, then give the triple. Triple is as good as double in the sense that content isn't there either way. Im sorry for those that have mastered or don't care about that. They will be bored or less amused. But that will be the time to create a new pirate if you have the slot available or delete one and start all over. Some people are doing that.

If I hadn't made my second character this would be a complete waste for me.. luckily Juliana could really use this lol.. The plus side is they are at least trying to fill in the gap between padres and next update.. Hopefully this double rep/gold weekend will happen more often as they try to occupy us .....

[Jack Sunskull]

Yay, finally double rep again now I can finally finish leveling grenades that I started a year ago. Watch out Darkheart here I come. Good thing it's next weekend too, because I am out town this weekend or else I would be mad.

[Bartholomew Foulsteel]

I believe I read, "Rewards for All in April - April 15, 2009." All, if I recall the definition correctly, would include the fully mastered pirates that have their weapons maxxed, as well as money and clothing/tattoos.

Ergo, my question: what about THEM? What's THEIR reward?

[CaptainGreenGene]

I get it!
It's just another Aprils fools joke on all of us.
As if the Swab thing wasn't funny enough now
they play this hysterical joke on us!
WOW Big D is such a funny jokster, my side is
splitting here, LOL ROFL.......NOT

[Bartholomew Foulsteel]

Why, CaptainGreeenGene, I happen to notice that you are level 40 AND fully mastered. Which will you be enjoying the most?

--perhaps the free upgrade to unlimited access?
--or maybe the double reputation?

[CaptainGreenGene]

Why Bartholomew, I will be enjoying the fresh air and sunshine since I will be outside with my kids avoiding the entire event both weekends. Not only that, I would urge the rest of us mastered pirates to boycott those weekends also. There is no sense in participating in an event designed specifically to not favor us. Meet us in the park and we can throw around the football and tell tall tails of battles we fought when we actually earned reps of gold!

[Evie]

Actually, I'm glad to see them doing this again. An event like this brings out a lot of people, a chance to master or work hard to level weapons, and to help guildies. Any reason to get together is a good one. Yeah, I'd love new content, but in the meantime, its easier to wait when they schedule something fun like this.

And I have a lot of Basic Access friends who will be coming out to play this weekend and having fun, so I'm excited to see this.
