So everyone knows about the 4 bundles that Pirate101 has, right? Some people get it for the gear, some for the ship, and some for the crowns. But, as far as I know, most people buy the bundles to get the sweet companions.

In the Cutthroat Bundle: Cutthroat Pirate
In the Admiral Bundle: Handsome Dan
In the Empire Bundle: Nausica
In the Hoodoo Bundle:Hoodoo Cornelius

So, my question is this: based on these companions and their bundles, is there going to be a swashbuckler companion in the next bundle? I wonder what it's name would be...

Sincerely,

We actually had one. But it was retired and wont ever come back.

I would love a new one (maybe with an orca in it :P hint hint )

I remember that post, he was op but would be cool

The original bundle had the wonderful cat swashbuckler (random names, like the Shark Buccaneer in the Cutthroat bundle). Since he is retired, I would not be at all surprised if the next bundle with a companion didn't have a swashbuckler companion.

Oh yeah, forgot about that one. Let me rephrase my question then: Does anyone think there will be a bundle with a swashbuckler companion sometime in the future that WON'T get retired? I honestly hope so. Swashbucklers are one of the best classes in Pirate101.

Sadly, eventually each of the bundles is likely to be retired, if W101 is anything to go by. I do hope that for the folks who didn't get a chance to get the Boochbeard or Gandry bundle they put out a nice swashbuckler-y bundle, but they did promise that cat would not be released again. A pity, that; I'd love for each of my accounts to have one, but there it is. OTOH, while I wouldn't be devastated to see another cat swashbuckler, I also would not be crushed if KI held to their promise. I didn't buy a bundle for all my accounts and that's why only a couple of my pirates get to run with perhaps the coolest crew member in the game.

Actually, the Empire bundle has Nausica, who is a Musketeer companion. Unless of course she's been changed to a different class since the update, but that might not be very likely.

What I meant by musketeer bundle, is that the gear is musketeer themed, as well as the weapon.
The hoodoo bundle is themed for witch doctors is one example.
