so with all the npc's dialogue changed will they just go the extra step and offer pirate as a language setting?
I don't think I'll go out of my way for this weekend, Nick already gives me more than enough booze for my drunkard needs.

did it last year, sold what I got from it, decided to do drunkard on my main a couple months later and finished it in January. I've got better things to do this weekend, namely fix my Jeep and go 'wheeling! :rawkfist:

I beg your pardon?
Pirates are considered the absolute divine holy beings in the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. They are the original Pastafarians. Their image as "thieves and outcasts" is misinformation spread by Christian theologians in the Middle Ages and by Hare Krishnas. Pastafarianism says that they were in fact "peace-loving explorers and spreaders of good will" who distributed candy to small children, and adds that modern pirates are in no way similar to "the fun-loving buccaneers from history." Us Pastafarians celebrate International Talk Like a Pirate Day on September 19.
I'm not insulting your religion, would you please not insult mine?

Is it only grog that drops during event? I want to keep my sanity so am avoiding drunkard title.
Wish there was a Willy Wonka weekend where we got extra sweety drops!

Fun event, just for the originality of it the 1st time we got it. It was totally out of the blue and gave us something different we didnt have to pay anything extra for

And im glad that grog is now confirmed to drop.

YARRRRR!!!! Time to kill me some raptors for Grog!! Still, I wish they would've created some gear with a pirate theme. A hook-hand glove focus, a pirate cutlass, or a pirates hat.

So if the guy farmed every minute of the event and never left the computer to sleep, eat, go to the bathroom, or have a life, it would have taken 6.67 days to farm up 80 stacks. Either the player had multiple people working on the project or was making purchases.
But since I know the player, I don't need the logic. He bought all 85 stacks, and invested a huge number of hours in finding them all below market value.

Yay, I love that day! Pirate talk ftw! 
Of course, grog is a good bonus.

Since some people's posts seem to imply that they don't realize what exactly this event is about....

It's an internet meme holiday.

Im actually probably run cof this weekend, i think that + grog drops should get me 350k+ ,,, ah wishful thinking is nice. If only there was double lucky/ lockpick drops this weekend as well, oh the fun that would happen.

Very good. I am working on my drunkard title, so free alcohol is always welcome.

This here is evidence that people really do take games too seriously.
Go outside, the sun is not something to be afraid of. Buy sunscreen.
Clockwork Pear

C'mon folks, its free booze and a bit of random silliness, whats not to like? :P

Yeah, you beat me to it, Redd bought all of them. I think back fondly to the days when I used to make millions selling crack... I mean spiked eggnogs to drunks for 1k each. Now with alchohol at 80g per minute I cant get into grogs anymore. Spoiled by the old days.

Bah! yet another /fail... should've been used to it by now. So we'll prolly see some we're sorry bla bla but that won't take my dissapointment away, since as someone before me, I was away for the weekend and was really looking to get a few grogs in my bags today

incompetent as usual, the bigger the event the bigger the fail (so this is a small event and a small fail)
seriously anet your lack of professionalism carries much further than simply losing 24 hrs of event drops

Well, I managed to get 50 grogs in 3 days. :/
Little disappointed there. But it was free. :]

May have to do with their new system to automate all weekend and holiday events and the labeling of the Talk like a pirate one as a regular weekend event.
On that account I call for a redux next week, might add some german translations the Piratenpartei could need a bit of free advertisement... just make sure to stop the event durring sunday so people go vote instead of farming grogs 24/7.
