Yarrr! Talk Like a Pirate Day, Part 1 is Live

Ahoy! Pirates, swashbucklers, and scurvy scallywags, log in now and battle through this year's new Talk Like a Pirate Day event. Queen Victoria’s bounties brought you gold, fame, and more treasure than a chest could hold... but every doubloon spilled into the sea has drawn predators. O_O Now three cursed crews sail under one banner of vengeance, and their blood-soaked hunt won't end until the waters claim the ultimate prize: Queen Victoria herself.

Hunt for the Queen's Bounty

/join PirateHunt now and board Captain Rhubarb's ship, the Red Betty! Work with him and Lore's best bounty hunter, J6, to seek out the pirates on Queen Victoria's list. Click the globe in Captain Rhubarb's quarters to call up the map that'll lead you to your targets.

She's after some of the most vile, greedy, and just plain annoying pirate captains and crews... and if you catch'em YOU get the reward! 

AWE-some New Loot

The sea’s most bloodthirsty buccaneers don’t give up without a fight… but victory is sweeter when it comes with treasure! Battle the Captains and crews in /PirateHunt to claim their loot. Fight to earn merge resources, then craft new pirate armor sets.

ShadowScythe vs SpacePirates!

Did you see that streak of red in the stars? That was left behind by the Hydra's Hark after its crew and Commander, Gallaeon, plundered one of Empress Gravelyn's fortresses, attacking from the sky. She sent one of her DoomKnights to bring Gallaeon to heel, and if you help him battle the crew + captain, he's got orders to let you pillage 'til your pack can't hold anymore rewards.
