Now that transfers are open, you are either a “new” player on an established server full of people you perhaps don’t know very well, or you’re a grizzled veteran of your server adrift in a sea of young whippersnappers. Either way, we thought we’d give you a chance to mingle with your new server-mates that doesn’t involve cannon fire. To that end, we’re holding a “Welcome to Antigua / Roberts” ball this Saturday in Pointe–à–Pitre!

Badly written paper name tags are entirely optional, but “Proud veteran of [server]” titles are encouraged if you’ve transferred in (these will be automatically handed out in advance of the event). Remember to wear your finest garb, since we’ll also be holding a contest fo find the best dressed avatar and two players on each server will win a unique title: King and Queen of the Ball! Every attendee will also be given confetti to throw.

At the same time we will be opening up our official voice chat server to the public for the first time. This is your chance to come and chat to a few of the Pirates of the Burning Sea development team while you strut your stuff at the ball. To use our voice chat server, you’ll need to download the Mumble client (which you can find here). We will give out the server address and password at the event.

• When: Saturday, February 13th, 8pm GMT (3pm Eastern, Midday Pacific)
