Hope us regular paid members dont get left out in the cold. hehe

I hope not as well Zep, however...'bout time! Something special for the founders sounds good to me. If you've stuck it out this far with all the problems, lack of updated content, et al, it had better be more than a new bandana and a turkey leg! I have no idea what's really being planned, or how it's going to work with just founders allowed access to this feast though. Could be a laggin' bug fest for all I know. We'll see!

Yes but founders were umm founders and currently all we get is

- A gold name
- A founder token next to our name
- and alot of questions

So a turkey some smashed potatoes and rum would be nice

For those of us without Chris... thats alot.

Although I reread and it says the gms and founders will 'host', does not mean that all will not be able to attend.

My only point however is that those that already have special elite status of gold names, etc although at first, are not likely the member base generating the most revenue for the game.

No matter, founders deserve to be given that elite status.
All i'd like is that gold name, to me.. thats the coolest thing they could give ya.

True but like all events disney hosts we wont know the details till a day or 2 before the event.

As a game founder, it's interesting to me that they say GMs and Founders will "host". To me that sounds like it's for everyone. But if it only takes place on Tortuga beach it also sounds like a lag carnival to me.

Chris is right...as with every special event we'll just have to wait and see.

As for the gold name and coin next to it, I never think about it until someone asks me what it's for. It certainly doesn't keep me out of jail when my mind wanders while in battle - But then, I'm easily distracted by shiny objects.

Founder's Feast November 04, 2008
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. Will you join us for the Founders Feast, November 27, 28, 29 and 30 on the beaches of Tortuga?

Just added to the grog blog.

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.
