Still waiting for the day i get my own armada XD. When waiting for the dreadnaught, just decided that because of the fleet of ships around, we were the new armada. Watch out Spiral! We are coming!

it's hard to pick just one so many wonderful memories but one of my favorite ones is when lucky jack Russell got his third promotion and that's pretty recent but I just loved how he acted like a father figure in it he was watching out for me the whole time made sure no one hurt me and made sure I did the right thing and cared more about my memory then the el dorado map he reminds me so much of my dad in real life I can't imagine being without my dad and I feel the same about jack he's like the game Version of my dad and I hope he's always like that makes me feel more at home all my crew does and I never want that to change

Well, my favorite memory would probably have to be when the game first went live. I was so exited to see a whole new 101 game! i played for a while and soon fell in love, the presido and the (orignial) three ghosts quest were more than enough to get me hooked eventually i found myself flying through worlds with my first character, till suddenly... i finished the game! thinking back to that day i slammed my keys making an account, that was my favorite memory by far!

Oh I have so many favorite memories, Ms. Rubin! From the very beginning when I got to play a week early by using a game card and logging on to create my first pirate. I choose my parents to die by Skysquid, it tickled my funny bone, especially Gandry's comment of "It happens all the time."
Then meeting the wonderful posters here on the message boards, with their great advice and funny comments, I felt that I found a home.
The best memory though was last year - I was running the Tower of Moo Manchu in the hope of gaining that "Master of Moo" badge and the super support I got from other players who wanted to join me in my quest for it. I achieved that badge on my birthday!
Keep up the excellent standards of KingsIsle, this game is the best MMO I've played. Great story line, awesome writing, wonderful characters, splendid, fully realized worlds, music and sound effects, I could go on, but I must adhere to your request.
Fair Sailing, KingsIsle!

I'd have to say some of my favorite memories would have to be adventuring through Aquila and Valencia 2. Both of those hit close to home. I've always been a mythology nerd, I've read Homer's Illiad twice, been born and raised on the tales of the Argo and Hercules. So Aquila was fun for me, especially since I could make so many connections. Valencia 2 was also astoundingly awesome. I'm a bit of a steam/gear punk fan, and this expanded on that platform more. I'd always though about automata, but this brought a new depth to the thought. Instead of a programmed machine, the automata presented had souls. Deacon, Rooke, Bishop. All of them were unique and of their own personality. I only spotted it after the Typhon (I think) encounter. Every member of the Armada is almost their own person. It thrilled me, because although I had entertained an idea like this before, I could never figure out how to truly envision it. So yeah, These two expansions, going through them with my friends, they are some of my favorite memories of Pirate101.

Ever Percy Jackson? It has great mythology references!

Good luck to all my fellow pirates, I love hearing all your stories. I don't think I'll enter in the contest, but for the purpose of the thread I'd love to share a story.

My favorite memories span back to when I made my first account. I began playing the first week of the game's release in October. I created a witchdoctor named Dashing Lucas Xavier I thought it was a great name. I remember falling in love with the chess-like gameplay, strategically planning out every move. The storyline was unique and interesting, the characters were memorable (My History teacher HATES that I butcher historical names such as Napoleguin and Marco Pollo ), and the music was BEAUTIFULLY orchestrated (Shout out to the sound and music team!). My favorite memories are when I reached the max level at the time, which was 50. I remember farming for the rare and elusive tiger claws, because they looked so cool to me! I remember my friends telling me there were rumors of a reformed Inoshishi bandit pig named Ju Hao that you could get to join your crew, and being skeptical . I even recall questing through my favorite world, Cool Ranch, and learning about the Old West (Namely where the infamous El Toro came from, EL ZORRO! *cue El Toro theme*). Nowadays, I have 9 max level pirates under my belt, the most played of them being my original witchdoctor.

Pirate101 was fascinating to me at the time, and still is today. I was 14 when I began playing, and as of September am now 18. I've grown up with this game, and I hope to see it flourish more and more as the years go on. May we always remember the good times and the nefarious times Happy Birthday Pirate101, and the best of luck to you all in the contest!

I was that age at the time I stared playing too! Something about this game allows you to grow up with it and still have a deep regard for it. I think, when it comes to games, that is one of the most important aspects.

Thank you for your story

Well I was originally a Wizard101 player, but when I switched over to Pirate101, I fell in love with it! The story, the graphics, the character development and char. designs, and overall gameplay—everything about P101 was/is perfect! As soon my obligations (e.g. membership) to Wizard101 ended, I jumped at the chance to become a member of the pirating side of the Spiral. I've grown as a fearsome pirate and loyal player ever since, and am quickly becoming an avid member of the Pirate101 Central fan site as well.

Although I may not have as much history with Pirate101 as its predecessor, I'm gathering a collection of new, fonder memories. It's hard to pick just one, but I'll try. After meeting my in-game friends, Tati and Hank, pretty early into my full-on life of piracy, we've often helped each other quest and fight throughout the Spiral. One of my favorite—and more recent—memories is of getting an early introduction to Kane; my friends let me port in at the start of The Machine Core dungeon and fight alongside them all the way to the "King Clockwork" himself. Getting a crash course in bashing up the top-tier Armada scum was a blast!

Thank you for the contest, and good luck to me fellow pirates too! Arrr!

Welcome to the message boards Hannah. Now that you are officially a Message Board Marauder, you will have many more marauding friends to create more great memories with.

My memory was when i joined and a thing much later, i was 8 years old and i saw this game, "Pirate101" i knew the game Wizard101 and my mom thought it was the same thing, luckily i convinced her to get it in November 2012. I started as a swashbuckler and i don't really have any other pirates because my swash and i have been through it all, anyways later in my adventure i took a break because i was one of those people who stopped pirate101 at the former highest level "50" and to be honest Mooshoo was one of my FAVORITE worlds.
I loved the atmosphere, colours, characters, and story line. But i remember was much later when i was watching my favorite Pirate101 youtuber, Kvtasmania or KvExperiences, and i found this code and i used it and we became friends, he was a level 62 i think and was becoming a citizen in aquila while i was maxed out.
Anyways in His episode Aquila episode 13 i was that guy helping him throughout the episode, sadly we didnt see eachother much since i took a break since it wasnt really updated much.Finally i met him again in the time of Moo Manchu and later on i think, anyways those are my favorite memories

I think that my all time favorite memory was one a lot more recent. It was the final battle between my pirate, Sly Scarlet, and Kane. I didn't want to do the battle immediately, no, I waited until my birthday. I had enough crowns for a privateer henchman, and all I had to do was team up. It took three tries to get the best team I could have ever asked for. I befriended a musketeer who was also waiting to team up, and then a buccaneer came along, and then, a swashbuckler. Although I was the only girl of the group, it was absolutely amazing. We were unstoppable! Not one of our companions were knocked out. And then...finally... The battle between the four of us and Kane. We all had full health, no companions on bed rest. This was it. My pirate teammates were all reluctant to start, so I was the one to approach Kane himself in our final battle. It was so much fun and epic! No glitches, no nothing! My privateer henchman was so useful, and my teammates didn't falter at all when it came to working together. Left and right the armada was falling, and we were victorious. And then, Kane became immune, but we kept on fighting. And then...we were one hit away from victory. Who was going to be the one to destroy Kane? We all targeted him as quick as we could. The round started, and then...

My witch doctor, Scarlet got a critical hit, and Kane fell to the ground, defeated. I got the final hit on Kane. I was the one to save the spiral. Not my companions, but my character herself. I couldn't believe it. We had won, with no one but a few companions knocked out. It was beautiful. And then we got to have closure with my parents, and my companions told me themselves that they would always be my family. I started to tear up at that. We had come so far, and in the end, we weren't pirates, but heroes. And even though Queen is still alive, I know for a fact that we will defeat her. This was my favorite part of the game, because it was a perfect ending, and a powerful beginning.

I have a lot of favorite memories from this game, most all from new updates coming out. My favorite memory would probably be getting on the day the test realm came out with Marleybone and Aquila. I was so excited to get back into the story and see all the scenery, new items and companions that came with it. Updates with worlds are definitely the best!

My fondest memory with Kingsisle Entertainment was probably when i first got the nerve to ask my grandmother to by me a prepaid card in 2010. So i was ten years old and back then all there was was wizard 101 i was a free player and i couldn't asked my grandmother for the money for the prepaid card because i thought she would say no so i went for a while playing as much as i could that was free at the time. Then one day when there was nothing else i could do on wizard 101 i summoned up my courage and asked her and she said YES i was so happy and the first thing i bought was firecat alley and cyclops lane.
