Need a break from battling Jolly Roger's Invasions and Lord Beckett's EITC thugs? Then there's something you've got to try - fishing! With plenty of strange, exotic fish making their way to our shores, fishing businesses have sprung up all over the Caribbean. Now Pirates can enjoy reeling in these fascinating fish while earning gold and loot at the same time!

Getting started fishing is easy. Find Old Greg at the end of the docks on Port Royal to buy your first fishing rod and lures. Then make your way to any of the fishing spots on the docks of Port Royal, Tortuga and Padres del Fuego to start reeling in the fish! As with weapons, you have a Fishing notoriety that you advance in while catching fish. The more reputation points you accumulate while fishing, the further you'll progress in your Fishing notoriety. Before you know it, you'll find yourself launching your own Fishing Boat to catch a Legendary Fish!

These Legendary Fish are difficult to catch but are well worth the fight! Stop by Old Greg's and he'll share a tip or two on how to snare these elusive Legendary Fish.

So get your mates together and let the fishing frenzy begin! ]]> Pirates News Discussions Kat Bluerat http://seafurys.net/forum/showthread.php?t=2760 Deadly New Daggers...

A huge shipment of deadly Daggers has reached the Caribbean shores. These deadly weapons were looted from a Treasure Fleet carrying rare and valuable goods from the old world. These are not just any daggers. They used to belong to a secretive group of assassins called the 'Abu Nar Clan' in the Near East.

The Legendary Silver Freeze is one of these daggers and once belonged to Abu Nar's most skillful assassin. It's said the infamous dagger has the power to freeze its victims leaving the dagger's owner to carry out his mission without any interruptions. Rumor also has it that the dagger is controlled by a powerful gypsy curse but only those who wield this legendary dagger can testify to its powers.

These deadly Daggers were thought to have been lost - until now. Pirates have reported seeing enemies frozen in place during the night! Get yourselves to the Caribbean now and find one of these deadly Daggers by defeating some high-level enemies... if ye dare! Who knows, you might just lay your hands on the Legendary Silver Freeze! ]]> Pirates News Discussions Kat Bluerat http://seafurys.net/forum/showthread.php?t=2758 Release Notes - September 8, 2010 http://seafurys.net/forum/showthread.php?t=2755&goto=newpost Thu, 09 Sep 2010 07:02:24 GMT *_Release Notes - September 8, 2010_* *New Features:* * Fishing is now available!

With Jolly Roger continuing to devastate the Caribbean with his Invasions, it's time the Pirates put together a fool-proof plan of action for victory. Now that Jolly has actively begun changing his Invasion strategies, Pirates need to join together and come up with our own skillful tactics to combat the Invasions successfully.
Many Pirates in the Caribbean are skilled at defeating Invasions and have been known to send Jolly retreating with only a handful of crewmates! Some of the newer Pirates could use a word of advice from seasoned Pirates such as these.
So come mates, let us know your strategy for defeating Jolly Roger's Invasions! Everyone could use a helping hand when it comes to defeating a common enemy like the vile Jolly Roger. Pirates who have had great luck in defeating Invasions - share your well-designed plan with the rest of us by replying to this post. ]]> Pirates News Discussions Kat Bluerat http://seafurys.net/forum/showthread.php?t=2754 Test Release Notes - August 26, 2010 http://seafurys.net/forum/showthread.php?t=2753&goto=newpost Thu, 09 Sep 2010 06:56:30 GMT *_Test Release Notes - August 26, 2010_* * Players no longer crash when logging out with a weapon equipped. * NPC ships once again can attack...

With Friday the 13th approaching - the unluckiest day of the year - be very wary, mates. Bad luck is on the rise in the Caribbean so, this Friday the 13th might be even worse than usual!

Why all the caution? Rumors are spreading around the Caribbean like a pox: Jolly Roger is up to no good and he's frustrated that his invasions have not given him the upper hand. Prepare for the worst ... prepare for "The Curse of the Muertos Moon." For those Pirates who've never experienced this event, when you see the full moon with Jolly's face, get yourself indoors fast! Those left outside will be fighting for their lives against each other! Jolly's wicked moonlight turns everyone temporarily into the Undead. There's fighting and mayhem like you've never seen! Join in, if you dare - this is not for the weak-kneed or faint of heart.

WHAT: The Curse of the Muertos Moon
WHEN: Friday, August 13
WHERE: Wherever the moonlight touches the land in the Caribbean

NOTE: Please keep in mind, playing any of the mini-games will not make your Pirate immune to the Curse. You will still transform and take damage if your Pirate is on land at a Potions mixing station, Ship Repair station or talking to the Cannon Master on Padres Del Fuego.

So you think your Guild is best, huh? The time for bragging is over mates - it's time for action. It's the Strongest Guild Competition. From August 10 - 24, let's see who's the best and bravest Guild once and for all! That's right, mates. It's that time of the year again, and we're ready to see which Guild will rise above the rest. Some Guilds might be better at hunting down skeletons, others Navy & EITC guards, while some Guilds fare better at sea. That's why this year's competition is divided into three categories to prove where a Guild's strength lies.

Here's how it breaks out...
Category 1: Most Skeletons Defeated - on land
Category 2: Most EITC/Navy Soldiers Defeated - on land
Category 3: Most Ships Sunk - at sea, of course (Flagships and Privateers not counted)

Every Guild has a chance to win and nothing to lose - but your nerve, eh? Turn your bragging into a reality by becoming the Top Guild in one of these three fun categories. All winners will be announced on the Web site after the competition ends. Apart from fame and recognition, the winning Guilds will receive a special edition Pirates of the Caribbean Online Desktop wallpaper with the name of the Strongest Guild congratulating them on their success. Join in now!
