Hi all,

for your information: I plan to resume the Pirate Conspiracy event after the summer holidays. It will cover less PvP and more riddles and roleplaying. Mathena and I want to set up the guild war between Fury and UP again, as the Fury guild has made a huge step towards roleplaying. Aside from the event, we can set up a few battles again for those who like to PvP. However, these battles should be limited in time and location. Any initiative and suggestion from your side will be welcome!

Stay tuned! News will be posted on the United Pirates website:

Perhaps sets of clues to find Hef requiring a battle? I liked the idea you had before of the pirates' secret meetings and the location being "discovered" by FURY. Perhaps a battle or tourney for clues to Hef's location for each clue you want to give. Maybe move Hef from site to site, and the clue given as reward for winning battles or tourney could be a site where you just *happened* to have moved him from. That would work maybe 3 times until a big, event-ending battle for his freedom, where of course, he would escape. Or, leave notes at a predetermined time around Haven saying where Pirates can be found and battled for clues to his whereabouts. For example, every Thursay night at 8PM, leave notes that Pirates can be found in certain areas for exchanging the prisoner. Battles could be waged only in specific boundaries/areas for clues to his whereabouts. Maybe some brainstorming could be done off of these ideas...
