I am just wanting to check in with all Pirate101 members and KI.

I am super curious about what's next, when will this game will get an update. I personally am very excited for it. It's been a long time so maybe something good is coming!

Anyone have thoughts?

Hi Bat Masterson - we are all hoping for something a little more specific than reference to a year old Producer's Letter.

Can you confirm, or do you have to deny, that Pirate101 will get an update in October, to coincide with the 8th anniversary of the game's launch? You don't need to spill any particular beans, but if the "powers-that-be" could at least allow you to give this timeframe for our next QOL update, I think it would be awesome, and people might stop asking.

Pirate101 will not get a major update this year, sorry :(.

'sigh' Same as the past three years, Bat... is this really the best Kingsisle can do?

Thank you for your honesty. This confirms that the only amount of effort that goes into Pirate101 is a monthly newsletter and your time spent answering our questions on here every now and then. I do not think I can pay for a membership to help keep the lights on in this game anymore. If the developers have no love or care for this game then why should I love and care for it? All hope is lost and I will never be able to look forward to waking up the next morning to hop on Pirate101 and quest with my friends in a brand new world. I remember when marleybone and aquila were finally released in live realm. Those were highlights of my memories with this game. I can never experience that type of passion for this game again because the developers gave up on it. This will forever impact my life, and I will cherish the memories I have from this game.

These are sad times to be a pirate

Great to know. But don't expect me to spend time or money on this game anymore, it's safe to say i can cancel my subscription now. It was a great game while it lasted. I appreciate your honesty. This game now can know peace.

This is really heartbreaking to hear. I am drawn to the word "major" though, are there any plans for Pirate101 this year or am I thinking wishfully?

Why is KI so dead-set on avoiding Pirate101 like the plague? There's clearly a passionate and dedicated community and interest for the game so why is KI continuously choosing to ignore it simply because it's not Wizard101 or mobile games, the latter of which have consistently failed? Why does KI expect the fans to do all the work in promoting the game when they themselves refuse to do it? These are honest and legitimate questions that deserve honest legitimate answers.

Can you give us a reason why? Is it because of money? ran out of ideas? I feel like we deserve an answer, in all honesty.

if a ki staff is reading this please respond back

What's stopping you from getting new developers for pirate101's development?

I appreciate the honesty but can you answer as to why Kingsisle just pretends that Pirate101 doesn't exist? I already had a rousing suspicion that there would be no storyline update this year and was hoping 2021 would be the year we got anything, but I feel like even that seems unlikely.
