So, we receive Marleybone and Aquila. Huzzah! Yar!! (etc.).

So, how come WIzard101 receives a new Olympian bundle (not to mention two other new bundles). The crew be sharping their swords and checking their powder* - there be a powerful lot of mutterin' belowdecks...

-Indigo

P.S. Old Scratch be collectin' pieces of lint and parasols... not sure if that's related to the brewing mutiny or not.

P.P.S. Yes I know Aquila = Roman(ish) and Olympia = Greek(ish), but at least Pirates has a Classical realm.

P.S.S. My wizard characters, of course, thank you (and jeer at my pirates).

Personally, I'd much rather they deliver 15 levels of content to another bundle, but BOTH would be even better. I would imagine that, now that the new worlds have been delivered (and once the minor adjustments and bugs have been worked out) they will start adding more auxiliary content like the bundles and, dare I hope, a new card pack!

Oh my gosh, yea. I'm FINALLY not the only one who noticed this! Maybe it's the next Wizard world too. I can't figure out why Wizard would be the one to get a super awesome Olympian bundle while Pirate gets nothing. -shrug-

But thanks for giving Wizard another bundle, cause I'm going to get it!

They've delivered two new worlds; a single bundle shouldn't be too much to ask for. Heck, at this point I'd be happy if I could buy a house for each of my pirates that none of the other pirates in my fleet doesn't already have. (Wow, what horrible syntax!)

Bundles would be better than just houses. My pirates are feeling slighted and starting to get ever-so-slightly cross.

Nothing?!?

We got two awesome new worlds with a ton of new quests and places to explore! And it was a bigger expansion than Wizards has ever gotten. That is not nothing, and in fact, I prefer the new content to a new bundle.

Bonnie Anne: CAPTAIN QUENTIN!
Quentin: What is it miss Anne?
Bonnie Anne: The crew is about to start a mutiny!
Griffin: Not for long -walks into crew quarters-

-fighting breaks out and in 1 second, silence-

Griffin: There we go .
Quentin: -peaks inside of room-, WHAT HAPPENED IN HERE!?
Ol' Scratch: Griffin taught us a lesson, that's what happened Mon.

I have been sort of joking around with this subject, but to be serious for the moment: I was very much looking forward to the expansion of worlds/levels that I hoped would come in April, six months after Pirate101's launch (six months being the time between Wizard101 expansions the last couple of years). Being a brand new game, I thought that hoping for the same six month gap was perhaps too optimistic, but KI not only did it (the expansion was the end of April/early May) but they did half again more than has been the case with Wizard (15 levels worth of material rather than 10). So I was both very pleased and very impressed - doubly so since I suspect, in terms if programming the animation, that Pirates is more labor intensive than Wizard, the combats being so much more fluid. Needless to say I was a happy pirate.

Bundle cards seem to often come out a few weeks after a new expansion, so I optimistically hoped we would see at least one new bundle for Pirate, especially since currently P101 does not have a single online bundle since the Boochbeard and Gandry bundles were retired shortly after the game launched. I was a bit surprised when it was Wizard that received not one but three new bundles last week. While I was not anticipating it, I am sure there are good reasons for this decision. For one thing, I think there are tons more people playing Wizard101 than Pirate101 at this point, and if that is so a new Wizard bundle will generate more immediate revenue for KI than a new Pirate bundle. Also, if I am right that P101 is more labor intensive for the animators than W101, the P101 team may have their hand full already at the moment.

None of which my crews want to hear. They just want flashy new stuff. But then, they are pirates, after all.

I confess that I am not really interested in the Bundles and such, but I have to say, Indigo Ring, I loved the way you playfully expressed yourself in story form... the sulky crew... the jeering wizard... especially the teasing weirdness of 'Old Scratch collecting lint and parasols' -- that was just great! And Quentin, I see one of your brothers settled things in your usual comic fashion... and I thought your speech for Old Scratch had just the right tone.

Virtuous Anne Radcliffe

Quentin: Thank you.
Bernard: Enough talk, WHO TRIED TO START A MUTINY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-glares at Ratbeard-
Ratbeard:Don't glare at me, it was Catbeard's idea!
Bernard: -glares at Catbeard-
Catbeard: No it wasn't, it was Ratbeard's idea!
Ol' Scratch: It was both your idea Mons!
Ratbeard and Catbeard: snitch

Quentin: Well, glad we straightened that out. -slams door shut-

...I meant bundle-wise, mind you. I better watch what I type next time, and I kinda already knew about the update... But seriously, Pirate has almost no bundles. Cutthroat and that other one are the only ones I can think of. Sorry.

Oh gosh, I sounded rude.... Sorry...

OoooOOooo I hope they don't find out about today's release of a Wizard101 card pack, the Pharaoh's Hoard. I mean, mentioning a "hoard" around a bunch of pirates is like saying "ice cream" around a bunch of five-year-olds (or, for that matter, me). And I had just distracted them from their sulk about the new Wizard bundles, too (who knew they would find Charades addictive? Incidentally, don't let them play for gold!!)

Have you ever noticed how many words rhyme with "yum"? It's an education, I tell you.

Shhhhh!!!!!!

Oh oh....

Uh ohhhh.... We're doomed! D: NOT GOOD! NOT GOOD! D:

Phew! Guys? would a new and more powerful ship appease you? x covers ears in pain to the tumultuous roar that comes from the crew x . Scratchy exits "The Room" with a slightly guilty look and reassures me with an "All is well oh Captain my Captain". OK crew, set sail for the nearest crown shop.
