Here are the event details for our competitors: Challenge #1 - Starting Line: Competitors ALL meet on Devil's Anvil on their scheduled day and on their scheduled Ocean at their designated start time.
Officially listed competitors ONLY should check in with the Marceline Guild GM that is located on Devil's Anvil beach to start your race. You can identify them by the icon above their heads: The GM will then whisper a pass phrase AND location to only the competitors. Be prepared to memorize or write both down - and hang on, mate! If you leave before the GM says "GO", you will be disqualified. The GM will then put you on yer mark, get you set, and when the GM says "GO" the race is officially on! Challenge #2 - The Race: Do your best to get to the location the GM told you. Swift Foot potions, sailing, and teleporting are all fair game! When you get to the correct location, type your pass phrase in the chat window. Pretty much YELL IT OUT! An invisible Ghost GM will be at the correct location and will hear your cries! If you are at the right spot and have spoken the correct pass phrase, the Ghost GM will whisper to you a riddle. Mark well the GM's words, mate - this riddle contains clues to the final leg of the race: the Finish Line! Challenge #3 - The Finish Line: The home-stretch! Decipher the riddle given to you and make your way to that final location using the riddle as your clue. The GM will acknowledge the First, Second and Third place winners of the race at the Finish Line. GMs will be monitoring all areas of the course. Some GMs may be visible while others may not be, but they will be watching all competitors closely and checking for any sign of cheating. Any cheating or disrupting other racers will disqualify you. All Pirates are welcome to watch and support friends and Guild mates. It's possible GMs may replace no-shows with any volunteers selected from the crowd at hand. Please keep your weapons stowed during the event. Pirates that harass competitors or GMs or interfere with the course in any way will be removed from the game.

After Sunday April 7, this special treasure trove of cutlasses will be emptied, and supply will be no more. 'Tis clear why Jolly Roger fought desperately to locate this mighty, lost loot, and why the Marceline GMs steered it clear of his rotted grasp.

April 1st - Peddlers' Offerings for AprilWe're noticing many a Pirate around the Caribbean swashin' buckles with a bit more pride these days; their heads held high with a Legendary blade at their side. Wear admirable gear to match this April, with the attire of this proud office:
These stately blues have been a red-hot request to make a comeback recently – and with a chapeau big as a ship, it's easy to see why! Seek out Peddlers selling this favorite finery, as well as last month's Emerald Duelist, for a limited time on Port Royal, Tortuga, Padres del Fuego, and Cuba. You'll spot them under their special Peddler symbol: Remember, Peddlers offer something different every month and stop selling older items after a couple months, so don't delay and get your new threads today!
March 29th - The Heart of Padres del FuegoTia Dalma's visions confirm the Marceline Guild's fears – years back, when explosions destroyed Padres del Fuego, a hidden cache of El Patron's weapons were consumed by earth and magma. As Jolly Roger raised the slain Spanish buried on Padres into his service, he learned their dark secrets of the weapons' whereabouts. The volcano's constant lava flows finally unearthed these weapons deep in its winding caverns, and Jolly Roger began searching in earnest. But years baking inside the lava surrounded by Padres' unique volcano soul element has infused these cutlasses with the fiery power of the volcano's core itself... creating a powerful new Legendary weapon the Heart of Padres del Fuego. While his invading forces gained ol' Jolly deeper and deeper access into the island, brave Pirates held off his last wave of attacks, and the Marceline Guild reached the legendary cutlasses first! To make certain this devastating weapon does not fall into the wrong hands, Marceline GMs will give Pirates access to a Heart of Padres del Fuego cutlass only through a secret code here: Where: Near the entrance to the Lava Gorge. When: Friday, March 29 - 11am to 12 noon (Pacific Daylight Time) Saturday, March 30 - 4pm to 5pm (Pacific Daylight Time) Get the code from the Marceline GMs, and pass it on to yer Guild and mates! But be warned, don’t let our enemies catch on. As you'll discover, this new Legendary weapon is unlike very few in its power, and this may not be the end of the mysteries simmering beneath Padres del Fuego’s lava… The Heart of Padres del Fuego can be redeemed by both However, as with all Legendary items, only Unlimited Members can equip
March 25th - Ocean (Server) MaintenanceWe are reducing the total number of Oceans (servers) available not only to optimize overall playability, but also to bring Pirates together in a closer community. Sailing forward, the Oceans available after this change still include the most active servers that historically enjoy the most robust daily population of Pirates. We have also retained a good range of less populated servers for Pirates who prefer a quieter, less-crowded play experience. We hope you find the Caribbean's new server lineup to your liking. Sincerely, The Crew @ Pirates Online March 22nd - The Battle for Padres del Fuego in PerilJolly Roger's undead hordes continue marching mercilessly upon Padres del Fuego this month, sometimes staging multiple attacks in a single day. While brave Pirates have repelled many of these invasions, we have lost to Jolly's sheer numbers and infernal Curse more times than not. Each time Jolly Roger successfully breaches our barricades, his cursed grasp reaches deeper and deeper into the catacombs and lava gorges... and closer to what he so desperately seeks. "Seeks" but has not yet found, which means we still have a fighting chance. Band together and turn the tide, mates – defend Padres to the last Pirate, and stop those undead cold! March 19th - Green Tides Soon SubsideWe hope all yer quests and voyages have been as lucky as the green shamrock this past week, for those green tides will soon ebb. Be sure to get yer green tattoos, emerald hair, and grand St. Patrick’s Day gear today – for after March 20 they will vanish quicker than GM Shamus O’Malley himself Speaking of that rascally GM, Shamus just can't get enough of celebrating with you Pirates.
