Revisiting the 1st Trailer

Everyone remembers when Pirate101 was first announced right? No? Oh well, to let you know if you have been eating many Yum cheese, it was announced the 25th April 2012.
That's a curious date, why? Well it's a very important date here in Portugal, 25th April 1974 was when the Carnation Revolution happened, a military coup that happened in Lisbon (Portugal's capital) that overthrew the regime of the New State (Estado Novo), it's probably the most important celebration in Portugal, that's how I always remember when P101 came out.
So, if you don't remember the trailer, I will enlighten your mind:
First, we see two ships firing each other, an Armada Ship and Boochbeard's ship, probably in "tribute" to the tutorial, next up we have a closeup on Captain Avery with two pirates, a Swashbuckler (with Tricky Vinny) and a Musketeer (with Louis Le Bisque).
Following we get to see the Buccaneer school with Mordekai, a learning buccaneer and Sergeant Shepherd, after that we see the same Sergeant Shepherd attacking some "flies" on a Mooshu ship dealing 0 damage (lol) and we see Avery's Court with some pirates passing through.
I remember the speculation of what that dragon was, people though it was a companion, good to know it was a pet later on.
We see a Yakooza battling some Armada Musketeers and some ships getting fired.

Monquistadors on the Presidion, Taro Moomori battling Armada minions Egg Shen's critical strike animation, Jonah Town and The Catspaw follow up next.
Aside we have Captain Gunn's Tomb, a Cutthroat battling the same flies on Mooshu (probably hinting at that Cutthroat Bundle) and Ratbeard battling some horses, probably the first hint to Cool Ranch.
Finishing off we have a look at Avernus Skyway, the Monquistan Crown, The Volcano|, Aragon Skyway and to finish off Flotsam with a Swashbuckler standing on the rig.

We know all that now, but before, believe me, it was SUPER fun speculating, and I can't wait to do it again when a new 101 game is announced or when new P101 hints come out.

This has been Victor Hawkins, and let the nostalgia begin!!

New Informations for the next BIG expansions! (TEST REALM ON)

Hi pirates in th'Spiral, I have big news for you all!
Today, mmorpg.com released the full article we were all waiting for! We got all new informations on Book 13 and Book 14.
EDIT: Test Realm is now on, go test the new awesome expansion!
Here they are:
Bonnie Anne's next promotion looks amazing!
Book 13: The Dogs of War (Marleybone)

The pirate's quest for the pieces of the Map to El Dorado takes them to Marleybone, where they must track down their old friend Catbeard. Wizard101 players adventured on the streets and rooftops of Marleybone's capital city, but in Pirate101 we open up a whole new realm of adventure! Pirates take to the midnight skies of Westminster Skyway, where they find a war zone and come face to face with the consequences of their former actions. Marleybone is at war with the evil Clockwork Armada - a war your Pirate started, and a war Marleybone is losing! To get the next piece of the Map, player Pirates must join the Royal Navy and help turn the tide of the war.

Their quest will take Pirates to the Isle of Dogs, a bustling hub of industry and shipbuilding with a criminal underworld lurking in the sewers beneath; the isle of Fetch, a vacation resort now abandoned and waiting for the imminent Armada invasion, and Beachhead, an armored battle station with enough firepower to destroy every city in Marleybone. Along the way they'll meet a rich cast of characters including Admiral Nelson, Ebenezer Scrooge, a spy named Smiley, and a special guest star from Wizard101. A host of dire enemies also wait for them: Cat criminal mastermind Captain Swing, the dreaded anarchist Guy Fox, and not one but two elite clockworks - the mysterious Bishop and Rooke, Supreme General of the Armada!

New Companions, new enemies, new equipment, and new promotion quests for Bonnie Anne and Ratbeard await. The level cap rises, giving Pirates access to new epic talents and powers. Come ready for battle, and beware - this is not your Wizard's Marleybone!

Angry Birds?
Book 14: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Cyclops (Aquila)

After the dark skies of Marleybone, the Pirate journeys to the sunny skies of the Achean Way, in the ancient realm of Aquila. Based around Classical Mythology, Aquila is a realm of legendary heroes, terrible monsters, and truly epic quests. To find Argos the Cyclops, keeper of the next piece of the Map to El Dorado, the Pirate must first help the Imperial Eagles win the Trojan War against the evil Snakes if Illios, rescue the hero Theseus, and follow Ulysses home on his odyssey. This is the longest single Book yet created for Pirate101, and it is truly epic.

Pirates will fight beside legendary heroes like Eagilles, Hawkules, and Zeena, queen of the Amazons. Guided by mysterious prophecies from the Oracle of Delphos and the Immortals of Olympus, Pirates will journey to many exotic locations, including the streets of Troy, the Isle of the Sirens, ruined Knossos, and the shining city of Nova Aquila, center of the glorious Eagle Empire. New monsters stand in their way, including Manticores, Ettins, Centaurs, Cyclopses, and some of the toughest bosses Pirate101 has ever seen: Talos the Colossus, Medusa the Gorgon, the invincible Minotaur, the Hydra, and Scylla and Charybdis!

As with Marleybone, this new Book raises the level cap even higher, to level 65. Tame a Pegasus mount, win the Golden Egg in battle, promote the members of the Magnificent Seven, win fabulous treasures, brave the depths of the Labyrinth, and win the favor of Athena and Ares. This is Pirate101 at its most fantastic, full of mythic adventure and humor.
So, resuming:
Is this guy Hawkules?
  • We will visit Marleybone, then Aquila.
  • Level cap will be increased to level 65
  • New enemies, equipment, ships, bosses, companions and NPC's
  • Bonnie Anne and Ratbeard will promote in Marleybone
  • The Magnificent Seven will promote
  • We will see Rooke and Bishop in Marleybone
  • Lots of mythical creatures await us in Book 14
  • Join the Royal Navy in Marleybone
  • The next map piece in Aquila is with Argos, the Cyclops


All of us can't wait to the update, I think it will be live really sooon...
