Disclaimer: This author’s family threw him a pirate-themed 30th birthday party and he walked the plank and it was definitely an amazing experience. Double disclaimer: This week hosts the International Talk Like a Pirate Day (September 19th), and as such, select MMORPGs are getting into the buccaneer spirit.
For instance, today Lord of the Rings Online brings back The Tale of the Shipwrecked Mariner for a few days: “Search the banks of the Brandywine for the lost crates and barrels from a doomed supply ship. Ye’ll be rewarded for yer efforts with piratey gear from the thankful crew. Ye may even run across a few treasure chests the shifty fellows failed to mention! This special event only happens once a year in September, so don’t ye miss yer chance! Arrrgggggh!”
And on September 19th, World of Warcraft is hosting its own Pirates’ Day for those who want to get in touch with their inner swashbuckler. By participating, players can get all sorts of fun toys like an insult book or a jolly roger flag. Icy Veins has a full guide to this micro-holiday.
