A recent shipment of goods from Europe has brought with it a surprise - fireworks! In addition to gunpowder, legend claims Pirates from the Far East invented fireworks, which once ignited, shoot into the skies and explode in a cascade of bright lights and sparks.
To celebrate the start of summer in the Caribbean, Pirates will be setting off these fireworks over the main islands. Find a spot on or near the shores of Port Royal, Tortuga, or Padres Del Fuego to watch them and enjoy the show!
What: Caribbean Summer Celebration
When: July 3 (around 6PM) and continuing until July 6, midnight Pacific Time. The fireworks start once stars begin to fill up the night sky.
Where: All Oceans (servers), on or near the shores of Port Royal, Tortuga, or Padres Del Fuego

Guild Spotlight
Meet Black Bart's Krewe
This month we salute Black Bart's Krewe! Led by the notorious LVL 40 Bartholomew Foulsteel, Black Bart's Krewe is a band of nearly 200 rascals and knaves, some of which rank in the top 50 players for overall enemies defeated. A guild of strong Pirates like, Combat Lizzy, Charlotte Firemenace, Molly Bluesilver, and Redfury -- they're not only handy dealing with undead skeletons, but also reach out a hand to help those in need. Many a Pirate's quest (like the liberation of the Black Pearl) has been completed with this guild's help!
