The door slams open. Standing there is a large man, covered in armor, his head helmeted, massive sword on his hip and shield on his back. Silence reigns for a moment. Even Bob the Musketeer looks on enviously. The floor shakes as his armor clad boots make short work of the distance between him and table laden with goodies. A deep throated chuckle erupts from his larynx as he pulls off one dangerously designed glove.

"I say, are these chocolate brownie tarts? Haven't seen one of these since Her Highnesses tea party last month. I was just saying to her, ahem, (sotto voice) 'Delightful brownies, Your Highness.' She laughed and laughed. So anyway there we were, she had on this saffron gown that accented her eyes. I'm sure it was the latest Monquistan fashion. You know how she loves to stay in fashion, I sure I don't know how the prince can afford it all, although she did come equipped with her own dowry, you know. Wealthy family, old blood and all that. Tea? Yes, thank you. A hint of cinnamon? Such exquisite taste you have. (Picks up the doily) Hand made? Such a delicate pattern, I love the flowers woven in. Are those orchids. I'm sure they are. How did you mange to get them in bloom in this weather? Such a green thumb, I'm envious. So anyway I must be off to a visiti-poo with Mordecai. May I take him a tart? He's such a grouchy puss on the outside but on the inside he's a pussycat. Well, if you know what sort of treats to take him. Built like a tank, just like the rest of us buccaneers. We can take it, dish it out, and survive to the end of the battle. Must must toodle. Tata."

Places his helmet back on head, and pulls his glove on. Gives a sharp salute and crashes out the door.

The others in the tavern turned slowly to look at Bob. "Friend of yours?" they asked.

I am a buccaneer myself and today my friend is trying this game and he is gonna be a musketeer.

I have to say, great post, breat post indeed. I agree with everyone else: Why don't the musketeers get any love? I myself have a musketeer, Sly Gillian Randall (Go figure) Level 55 , and I'm very upset at the amount of musketeers in the world. For one, I think that it's part of the commercial for Pirate101 that hooks tons of people on Swashbucklers. If you look it up on Youtube or on this website in video library, you'll find that not only does the commercial give the swashbuckler more screen time and makes it look cool, but shows the musketeer flinging spikes from the crow's nest with a leather slingshot. And the buccaneer, well, they're only shown thumping their staff-thing on the ground and knocking a few enemies away. otherwhise, I'd be pretty bias to musketeers. they have the atvantage of range and power. my musketeer (along with, i'm sure, many others out there) usually has a shooty/slashy or shooty/stabby weapon equipped, and are trained in either stabby or slashy weapons. That gives you the ability to keep people at a distance still with traps and bombs and knock back shots, and fight up close if all else fails. Anyways, that's my opinion, at least.

Well my first pirate was a privateer and I did pretty good but not as good with my swashbuckler I made swashbuckler my favorite class but the only reason I did that was because they do a lot of damage, use the hidden powers, the poison, and because in my opinion they got the better companions over privateer. Then I made my witchdoctor and I have to say the people are right about witchdoctor being the best for soloing and finishing the game faster it is my second favorite class. But I have been doing some pvp with my swashbuckler and I was underestimating the and but I stopped doing that because I noticed if you use the or powers correctly they are definitely a force to be reckoned with I lost both battles against the player and the one musketeers traps and powers can really annoy me because they can take out my hidden power and make me have to go through their traps which does good amounts of damage. My point is that the people that chose those classes play the game smarter than the classes that are mostly chosen ,, and they plan out their strategy to winning because they know we are powerful classes but in reality it makes them better classes I have earned a respect for and so that is my opinion.
Slick Cody Jones privateer lvl 65
Merciless Ethan Jenkins swashbuckler lvl 65
Leo Richardson witchdoctor lvl 56

Actually you are wrong ....when I play on my witchdoctor I play the game smart as these class..and you are making me and these classes feel bad and I know need more love but you don't have to make everyone else feel bad .see you in the spiral

I also am a Musketeer and only have one musketeer friend I love Musketeers because I win pvp all the time GO MUSKETEERS

Hello all- I made some chocolate brownie tarts for you. (A test recipe) The tea and coffee is on the table right there, so help yourselves.

Today I have a question. Wy do Buccaneers and Musketeers seem to not get any love? They did get some beautiful houses- but from Ki is not what I meant. I mean, why is there seemingly such a lack in the classes? Why is Swashbuckler the "king" of the classes and supposedly better than the others?

I see more Buccaneers nowadays, but I rarely see a Musketeer. I have only one or two on my friends list. I just don't get why I rarely see a Musketeer. I'm just curious, and rather disappointed in the lack of love for we gun-wielders and spear-users. -sulks-

About half of my list is Swashbucklers, two eighths Witchdoctors, two eighths Privateer, one and a half eighths buccaneer and half an eighth Musketeers. I just wonder why people don't like Musketeers. I mean, we have guns! What's not to like about that? And plus, the companions are awesome-sauce! -sighs- My apologies, I'm just upset. Haven't been feeling very cheerful lately.

Ciao.

False, Buccaneers do have to worry about dodge.

I, myself am a Musketeer, and I agree, we barely get love. Half the people on my friends lists are swash and the rest are privateers. No bucks, no Musks. Guns are too epic to hate. Plus personally I think Musks are the best.
