Seems that some players from Phase 1 of the Beta are going through Pirates Online withdrawals. We can relate...it's happening over here too! Here are some symptoms I've noticed our players have been experiencing:
- Practicing cutlass skills with a broom.
- Using "ahoy" and dressing like a pirate in other non-pirate games.
- Digging holes in the yard looking for buried treasure. Then afterwards, telling the neighbors, "Wonder why they never give us plunder anymore?".
- Grabbing a bottle of tartar sauce from the seafood counter and aiming it at the crab cakes, while yelling, "Bring it on!".
- Repainting your garage door all black with a skull and crossbones on it.
- Staring blankly at the computer screen, thinking...I know I should be somewhere, doing something...and then snapping out of the trance, only to realize you are digging around the Internet, looking for pirate gold and other treasures.
- Demanding you be paid in gold doubloons for anything someone asks you to do
Special thanks to Queen, AuntieVoodoo, Kate Bluefish, Aabbi Goldbonnet, Tiki and Ariel for providing the crew over here with some hearty laughter!
