My favorite memory of Pirate101 was when Valencia Part 2 was released. All these years we had been waiting for this update and EVERYONE was panicking that the game was shutting down and the game was being abandoned. I honestly was believing this too; I would always watch Wizard101 with envy, seeing it getting frequently updated and cared for while my favorite game felt like it was getting empty and more empty everyday...Then one day, during a KI Live, a speak peek to Valencia Part 2 was shown...and I was shocked. I didn't feel like this was actually happening! It felt too good to be real! I was so happy!! I remember I was in class, reading people's live-tweeting during KI Live, and struggling to keep in my excitement when I saw everyone suddenly tweeting about Valencia Part 2. It felt so magical sailing through Valencia's skyways again...

Thank you Kingsisle for giving us such a wonderful game. I hope to see more wonderful things in the near future

To be honest, I love every aspect of Pirate101! I've played Wizard101 since the year it came out, on an old account. Wizard101 had me hooked with all the magic and adventure it had to offer. But when Pirate101 came out... I don't even know how to explain how I felt! The thought of being a pirate with my very own crew, sailing the skies in search of gold and adventure had me very excited, to say the least. But once I actually started playing, I lost my mind. I've always liked the thought of being a target for a main enemy, especially if they probably knew something about me that I didn't, and getting to kick their butts right on, which Pirate101 gave me the ability to do. I felt as though my character had been prophesized to save the galaxy or something, another though that always excited me. But not only that. Pirate101 felt unique to me because I'd seen many things based around magic, but Pirate101 wasn't. This made me feel like I was getting a taste of something new, as i'd never played a pirate game before. Though I've yet to complete the game myself, I've seen snippets of what happens here and there, and can't wait to play all the way through on my account!

If I had to pick a favorite though, I'd chose the Armada. Original, I know XD But, like most things I favor in story lines, I love the armada because the though of something like them has never ceased to peak my interests; robots who were built to help nut have turned when they realized they had the power to. I have to say that the elites are my favorites though. Cold Deacon, unpredictable Phule, arrogant Rooke, mad Bishop, cunning Kane, and Queen. Their personalities make them seem so interesting, it's like they've put me under a spell and are pulling me further and further into the game so that I may learn more about them. But I must question: are they luring me into trap? To be honest, I don't care. They say curiosity killed the cat. I'll be the judge of that!

And one more thing: HAPPY BIRTHDAY PIRATE101!

My favorite memory of Pirate101 has to be the excitement of the first launching of this wonderful game. I couldn't wait to sail the skies and defeat enemies and I still love it!, The companions are so cool and love to train my pets to see what awesome talent manifests. My ships are my pride and joy! and love to show them off!. Pirates101 is the best game ever and I love it!

My most memorable moment, was the first time I accidentally bottled my ship while I was on it and flying. I got left standing in the sky. It looked amazing, but frozen the game. I had to minimize my screen and close the game that way. I was hoping it wouldn't be messed up when I logged back in. Luckily I was in town near the last fountain. I am thankful the game developers put in fail safes for clutzs like me.

My favorite memory is from when I heard about Valencia 2 was announced and brought to the PTR. I was like WOAHHHH we are gonna murder Kane :D. Also shoutout to Aquila, Unfair Blaze Leech.

My favorite moment in Pirate101 would be the General Tso's Chicken fight. It was the one of the most challenging fights in any video game I've played. The very simple objective of getting to the Chicken along with the joke was a very nice combo.

How to choose only one...

Let's start at the beginning. I missed the test realm by one day, and then tried the new P101 after playing Wizard 101 one evening. Expecting Pirate to be a nothing but a clone of Wizard, I was thrilled at the whole concept of the new game. Companions, combat, an actual story line, the great animation, the voices, the best villains ever. I had FUN! I told my wife (who was initially uninterested) to try it and she had fun! Lord alone knows how many hours of my life I have since poured into this game, but that first experience and losing myself in the wonder of this new world and gameplay literally changed my life. The first game I ever even looked at a message board, let alone became part of... Writing stories about the characters... All this because that first experience of play was so unbelievably awesome. Thanks KI!!!

My character is known a lot for helping others on the battlefield and for a long while I was on everyday offering my support skills just randomly around the spiral. I got a lot of joy from it just being with random people. Many times people didn't understand what I was doing or why I did it the way I did. Seemed different from what they did but the thing was, I needed to help. I am called to do it and require it. So when I was finished with some people. I found more people simply so I could satisfy the need I had to do so. I spent a lot of hours doing this and I had a lot of great battle moments and I stole many victories in the name of others but the best moment I had was not one of these long battles not a moment of glory or a great solo even though I like to tell these stories. It was this:

I had logged on after a long day's work and I was happy to see Esperanza and I explained to her that I had been busy with work and that I haven't had time to play as much. I still hadn't gotten my Bane of Kane badge. Then she asked me if I wanted help. I was completely and totally floored. I don't remember anyone else offering to assist me. Maybe it happened but I really don't remember. But, this really meant a lot to me. It is refreshing that you can still meet good people even in a game and that no matter how old you are you can still grow and change. I think by playing this game together we have grown a little. I can't speak for her but I hope she learned a little from me too. Through her support I have gained the courage to become a healer in real life and now I work with the poor and the homeless. There is much that can be done and there are many lives that can be changed just by offering words of encouragement and a hand of support.

I don't know how this does as an entry but it's okay I don't need the contest prize. I don't think it can top what I already won.

I wasn't planning to reply to any comments in this thread because Professor Falmea had explained that this thread is for contest entries only, but your post touched me deeply, Dante.
Pirate101 often seems much more than a pleasant way to pass your time; it has touched many people in all walks of life and all over the globe ( as long as they're able to speak English ). We get to play HEROES with amazing skills and abilities, we get to be who we want to be deep down in our beings.

My favorite memory of this game was getting Captain Blood's robe on the first try. This made the rest of my solo questing so much more convenient as I didn't have to rely on others to continue lol. Another memorable moment was farming pillows for 10,000 crowns during the pillow fight event. Spent about 8 hours nonstop mostly by myself, so that was a pain but paid off later. This game is amazing.

I've come to really enjoy this game, not just for it's play style, but it's colorful characters and enveloping story. The puppet theater narratives were some of my favorite parts as it allowed me to really steep myself in not just the tale at hand, but the history of the worlds and the layers of personality for many characters. This is what really led me to start writing again, with a desire for a deeper look into a character's mind and really see the complexity of a person. There were also many aspects of this game that allowed me to unleash my creativity and see the countless possibilities before me. All I had to do was put pen to paper and imagine. Of my four years of playing Pirate101, my fondest memory is not a brief moment, but instead all the times that this story inspired me to write.

I have to say that my favorite memory is probably when you had the livestream revealing Valencia part two. I was really fond of Tom's whole approach to get everyone hyped up by wearing a steampunk-styled costume. And I laughed quite a bit when Kane made an appearance and decided to rather sassy when he answered questions. It made me very excited for the final piece of Valencia.

My dearest memory is probably when I bought my Goronado companion. I tried so dearly to get the badge from Gortez because I loved the idea of having an identical gorilla following me around, guiding me towards victory. He is everything I love in a companion and I ask for nothing more than an upgrade to the golden armor that Gortez now wears.

My best memories of the Pirate 101 are being able to play together with my boys. We got to feel the energy of exploring new lands. Fighting great battles (like defeating Rook) to struggling to get enough stripped meat for the tribe in Cool Ranch, while dying many many times before finally winning. To watch and be part of a team that started as newbes and progressed to winning in PVP. Every new area is a time spend mastering the game and bonding with family
