Ok, I'm sorry but I love this info. This is a role playing event to kill skellies but do not use your weapons unless asked? Uh, doesn't this ask?

[Jamesvsthekraken]

So far as I know the only game with a promised update was the Hollow had a tiny one today and gets a bigger on Thursday. Here in Pirates, there was no exact date promised, like Bas said. When I caught a GM on Friday they mentioned the invasions moving in, "a week or two." But that's not an exact date. We'll just have to wait and see. For me, I'd rather see it bug free first.

Hey, sour faces... That's enough of groaning. You all whine and moan about content, you get some and get bored in a day of it. You can't program and build new stuff in a day.

There's already been new stuff on Test, which means they are trying to perfect the next update.

And after all this time, I'm starting to understand and enjoy the RP stuff more myself. You don't want to mess with it, then don't. Less folks on the servers during those events will cut down on the lag.

[Captain Whale]

Aye Hawke there still be some bugs over on Test mate. Looks like the major ones are fixed though so shouldn't be to much longer. Obviously after this weekend based on the events they have now scheduled.

I am looking forward to joining the GMs this weekend. Should be a lot of fun and who knows what will happen or who will show up. The Elite Thieves will be there in force and ready to whoop some Skellies.

I feel so... Enraged and Hungry. The week I decide to do a welcome back Raid, and Disney decides to use the same date..... Raids weren't really the Korsairs idea, I know that, but we were one of the first to make raids more often then weekly or monthly.
It just seems too unbalanced, most likely, there will be a sea of lag at the GM raids, and A only few Korsairs raiding elsewhere.

[Cpt. Charlotte Doyle]

and i plan on being one korsair that will be raiding with the GMs.

By Gms, you mean Me and James, right?

[Cpt. Charlotte Doyle]

no, I mean the Host GMs. there are times between the event where nothing is going on, if you want to do that, but this type of conversation would be better suited for the korsair thread.

I'm not saying i hate the new content and i get bored when it comes out. im simply saying the clock is ticking and pretty much all eyes are on disney when they decide to release it. Let me ask you this, If you had the same hat or the same ship for a year or two years wouldnt you be kind of tired of it and want a new ship? If so then you are almost on the same page as me. All in all, I love disney's "new content" i just would like things to move a little more quickly, and yes i do understand how long it takes to make/build/design things for the Game.
