i chose IT WAS OK.
Lol
a Couple Reasons
the Costumes, were the same as the magic, i was hoping for a coral costume..
Pins, OK. Fine whatever lol, But couldn't they at least make a little interesting?
I was hoping for pirate furniture too.
It was just the all stuff coming back. Like the boats from the POTC Game on the home page..
Yeah, totally agree...
There was no real boom to the month, except the Pirate Costumes: but even that was de-boom-ified early in the month once we figured out the "pattern" and knew exactly what we were going to get. I compare this Pirate Month to June/July last year: we had a fun pin set (not as good as this one though) but we also had the release of the POTC2 Game, which folks still play. 5 items that we could potentially win: 3 furniture, 1 poster, and 1 super-rare costume. Also factor in the Pirates Adventure Game or whatever that was... Ship Pieces. As well, we must also consider the In-Game Quest Pirate Hat.
2006: So, that's 9 (Skeleton Monkey, DMC, Davy Jones Organ, Ship R Stern, Ship L Stern, Ship R Bow, Ship L Bow, Ship Middle Piece, Ship Mast) pieces of furniture, 1 poster, 1 super-rare costume, 1 very-rare hat, 4 weekend pins, and 1 very-rare host pin.
2007: So, that's 4 weekend pins, 1 host pin, and 1(ish) not-so-rare costume (that we've seen before, if you were a guy).
Pirate Month(s) 2006: 17 new items
Pirate Month 2007: 6 new items
And the POTC3 site updated only handful of things: you can now play a game in the Sao Feng Bath House section of the game (click the ship's wheel in the upper left), and we have obtained an "eye-patch" prize along with our Create-a-Flag. No VMK stuff...
In my own Pirate opinion... given the fact that I had such an enjoyable time last Pirate month:
VMK phoned it in. Not a HUGE effort given what they put forth in the past. It seemed to be just the return of old stuff and a continuation of Alice with the addition of the Terabithia tree house.
