This is totally silly and irrelevant... and I love it.

The update was snuck in just like a pirate, too. Which makes it all the more amusing.

+ hopefully obs mode will be interesting this weekend with double points and all.

Can't complain \o/ \o/

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR

I was HM granite farming in Old Ascalon when they started dropping.

When I switched to NM because specials drop better, I found that I'm also getting a lot of keys.

Regina, tell them great job. We all love fun surprises.

We have just been contacted by the corsairs who have informed us that Pikin, the Hero Skill Trainer in Kamadan, has been kidnapped and he is being held for ransom. We are currently negotiating his return. Talks are at an empasse at the moment, but we are expecting results soon.

Translation: something buggy happened when swapping in the pirate model for this NPC, but he will return tomorrow. Sorry for the inconvenience if you were looking for him!

No Regina, NO NEGOTIATIONS with pirates. Threaten to cut off their daily ration of rum and see how fast they return Piken.

By the way, grog bottles should keep dropping from Crimson Skulls and Corsairs (yet with way lesser drops) after the events.

You should farm solo, I think they drop more (haven't tested, but I've only done solo, and I get an average of 4 to 5, definitely much higher than 80 in 2 hours).

i think anet added these as a cruel joke to trigger a false positive in my mind for "Glob of Ectoplasm". every time a Bottle of Grog" dropped i noticed the "of" in the middle and the capital "G". i was ecstatic because i thought i had finally become rich and had an ecto, but it was just booze. this happened about 14 times in one run.
the effect is not unlike playing with Obsidian Paradox in FoW (imagine what i think every time he gets any drop at all!) or the invention of the colors [Blue] and [Brown] to trigger false positives for the color Vial of Dye [Black}
