A couple weeks back I jumped back in to Pirate101 to check it out since, you know, THERE'S A NEW UPDATE TO THE GAME! Kind of crazy that the KingsIsle team has managed to pull off a couple of new updates for this game, right? Who woulda thunk it. There was definitely a time that I didn't think it would ever happen, but . . . things change when you're under new management. There you go Negative Nellies -- games under Gamigo's parent company CAN AND DO receive updates! Take that!
So, Pirate101's newest update is a rotating daily quest given by one Reginald P. Jowlsley. He's a Marleybonian Bulldog full of spit and vinegar.
Each time you finish one of Reginald's quests, he'll drop a "Royal Key" on you. This key can then be used to enter a dungeon.
Solo, I found the fight I encountered to be pretty difficult, but when I was with a group of four, it was cake. Well, it might have just been that my group mates were a bit OP.
It was kind of funny. One of my groupmates had me on their friends' lists and had no idea who I was. Oh, you know, I just used to be the CM four years ago . . . now I'm just a guy who used to know things, a has been, and some chump wannabe coming back to see what's up with the new update. hehe. I actually like the anonymity. Before I would log on and get swarmed with questions (most of which I could never answer). Now I log on and I'm a complete rando. I like it.
Supposedly there's some cool weapons and gear that drop for the instance, but I mostly got vendor trash loot and a MEGA TON of gold. That's one thing about Pirate101. They always overload you with gold. Gold is absolutely not a problem you need to worry about. Someone should put a big magical gambling well somewhere in the game where you can toss in 250,000 gold in exchange for a chance at something legendary.
Here's to future updates to Pirate101 and more fun in a fantastic game that's dear to my heart!
Happy Dueling!

Yo ho ho!
I quit this game too soon... that one quest with the item that would never drop killed me.
Cool Ranch buffalo quest? yeah, that ended up changing . . . I imagine a lot of people dropped because of that.
