Pirate101: New Game from the makers of Wizard101
 

Just saw this announced on the Wizard101 Central board:

KingsIsle Entertainment Unveils Pirate101

And here is the website: https://www.pirate101.com/free_game

Be sure to check out the video! And you can sign up for an invitation to the closed beta.

Hmm, flying pirate ships? Skull Island? Now where have we seen those before, mateys? pirate:

This looks and sounds pretty good!

Great find, Aliceblue, and good to see you!

I've been so busy lately, I haven't had a chance to be online much with fun stuff.

Hi Tink and Aengus :)

I doubt I'll be playing this one myself, as I can barely manage one game and I have yet to run out of things to do in Wizard101. (Can't believe I've been playing it longer than VMK now..... :()

For any of you folks who still play Wiz, it looks like the two games may be interconnected in terms of accounts, crowns and memberships.

I still play wizards at least a few times a week but I signed up for this one too. DS likes the way the combat looks like it is going to be on this one.

Are you playing Pirate 101?
 

Are you playing Pirate 101? Looks pretty good, I found little information on this game. - mmohunter

I believe it is in beta or soon will be. As far as I know, it hasn't gone live yet.

I'm in for the beta and I'm still playing Wizard101. Takes some time to get used to the gameplay, but I'm interested in seeing how it will all play out.

thats great, the game looks very interesting. I read a review somewhere that really praised it

I was invited in for beta and, so far, I am really enjoying this game. Play style is a bit different than Wizard 101 but the well-done graphics, enjoyable Easter eggs, are all present and accounted for. The change in play style keeps it from being just a pirate version of Wizards. Can't discuss much more than these general observations due to the Beta agreement as well as not knowing what will make it past the beta testing into the live version. For those who enjoy Wizards (as well as my old VMK comrades), I think it will be well worth your time to at least take a peek when the time comes.

Pirate101 Sneak Peak Event!
 

Just saw this announcement on their website:

Not sure I want to download the preview game, but I thought those of you who didn't get into the beta might be interested. :)

I caught this earlier this evening on facebook and went in and played for about an hour.

I have to say it looked pretty interesting

Definitely will give this a chance when its open

Ill be playing Pirate 101, already had bought the bundle when it was released and was included to play Beta. Our entire family plays Wizard 101 (3 generations to be exact) My husband and myself and our son who just turned 7 and my father. Its our family time. We skype and go in and do different quests together :thumbsup2 What i like about Pirates is that the game play is different than wizards, but still has the amazing graphics and great storylines :goodvibes We are all looking foward to playing it on Monday (when those that bought the bundle/card) goes live, and then it starts for everyone on the 18th of October :hyper:

Hi Alice, hi Aengus. I've played in Beta for several months now. Really recommend it to my old VMK chums. Look forward to seeing what you think, Tazgirl, as to whether it's fun for your family the way Wizard 101 is.

have any of you beta players found a particular class to be an easier start than the others?
