Ahoy, Pirates! Another month has passed, and we’re excited to showcase all the amazing work the community has done. Behind the scenes there are great things happening as well, but for now let’s take a look at some highlights from April.

KI LIVE: THE PIRATE101 TEAM GROWS!


Spring is in the air, and so is fantastic news about the Pirate101 team. It’s growing! Two new producers and a new community manager have joined the swashbuckling group dedicated to Pirate101. This KI live was their first appearance, so leave a comment on the video letting us know what you think.

Looking for a new pair of kicks? Try code: KILIVESUPERBOOTS to get the Superfan headphones and boots! Being a superfan never looked so good. Also remember to use code: UNFORGIVENSNACKS to get the new KI Live Snack Pack! Your pets will thank you later.

Missed the show? No worries! You can watch the recording of KI Live now on YouTube:


It's always a blast hanging out with the community, so let us know what you most like about KI Lives so we can continue to make them even more fun to watch.

For more videos and livestreams, be sure to subscribe to KingsIsle's YouTube channel.

A great gameplay tip submitted to KI Live comes from Senor Spicy: “A lot of amazing gear builds are based around obtaining Rank 5 of a certain epic. You can obtain some good rank 5 epics for your class through trainers, gear, and pet grants!” - Senor Spicy

Boochbeard:"The voyage for treasure be lost, enemies are upon us, time to do a barrel roll back to the ship."

Mr. Gandry:"Hiding in this barrel was supposed to be a good disguise. Escaping in it on the other hand is un-barrel-able." ~ Loyal Wolf Walker


Join in on the fun by watching Twitter and Facebook for the next Puppet Pirates reveal and your chance to caption the image!
