Ahoy, fellow pirates! I know there are SO many things that players definitely love about this great game! Let's share our favorite things about Pirate101.

Here are mine:

1. The storyline in general. (Great work, Blind Mew, and other writers.)

2. The silly puns, and Easter Eggs. (Once again, great work!)

3. Whenever our companions have conversations with each other, or A.K.A "Companion Chatter." (I love when Ratbeard and Bonnie Anne start bickering with each other.)

4. Monquista, Cool Ranch, and Marleybone. (These are my favorite worlds!)

5. The new "Valencian Steed" mount. (It's just so cool!)

6.The cool graphics and animations. (Traveling through stormgates are just breath-taking.)

7. The randomly generated names in ships/mobs, and silly player-picked name combos.

8. The game's concept art.

9. Awesome memories made of this game.

10. And finally last, but not least, reading these message boards!

Okay, it's a lot, but at least I made my point! Go ahead and post about your favorite things about Pirate101!

I love being able to go solo or going in groups of fun players who make it easier getting through and are not rude. i also love the culture references and story.

lvl 65

I'll parrot (pun intended) what others have said and say that the story is possibly the thing I like most about this game. I figured Pirate101 would be a fun little game that I could play with my casual-gaming wife and occasionally with my daughter. As someone who values story and setting above just about anything else in a game, I came into Pirate101 with a fairly resigned attitude that I'd just sort of put up with this kids' game and what I assumed would be Saturday-morning-cartoon-level story as a way to spend some time with my family.

Against all odds (in my then-perspective), I was hooked on the primary storyline pretty much from the beginning. The clockwork armada thing was intriguing, and I wanted to learn more about that. As the story went on, I just got more and more into it. Visiting Valencia for the first time and seeing the Armada grinding up islands and such was a huge moment, as was arriving in Marleybone to find a full-fledged war on. Holy cow! I'd rarely had feels like those playing games that are supposed to be really adult and serious. I found myself spending hours reading all the "Blind Mew's Musings" threads here on the boards, just to get my fix as I waited for more story content to come out.

So yeah, I'm a huge fan of the story and the setting, despite all the anthropomorphic animals and general kiddie style of the game. I do admit I enjoy fantastical art style over realism.

I also have to give a huge shout-out to the voice actors. I'm blown away by the voice acting quality in this "kids' game" which far exceeds even most games aimed at older audiences. I really hope someone can pass my praise on to them, because this goes a long way to making the feel of the game great when it could be really corny or just downright bad. They've done an incredible job. El Toro constantly gets a laugh out of me, and my daughter and I love to annoy my wife by imitating him. I find Catbeard immensely entertaining to listen to. Heck - they're all amazing.

Yeah, yeah, story is fascinating and more appealing to me than Wizard101's, but I can honestly say that my absolute favorite thing about Pirate101 is the combat style. I hate the sigil fights in Wizard; having a grid to run around on and being able to smack the snot out of an enemy with a sword is fantastic, not to mention the fact that having companions on your side makes the fights more dynamic and a heck of a lot more enjoyable to solo!

Oh, where do I begin?

I like the story line well made, and was a fun time adventuring the spiral. It was a fun and challenging game, such worlds as per nerfed Cool Ranch, Moo Shu, Moo Manchu tower, Ranked pvp matches, Aquila and Valencia 2 ( currently in the test relem ).

I also like the pets some are cute like orchid chameleon, some are awesome like hammerhead shark. I got a lot of ebony specters in my pirates back pack,unfortunately not a single fire toad. I recently got a heck kitty,from a friend by morphing.

I like the mounts too like the hammerhead shark, the majestic steed ( the robot horse ), the Pegasus, the classic griffin and the parrot mount ( it's a rental ) . Hmm maybe a sphinx mount someday.

Have I mention companions powerful ones like Bonnie Anne, Hawkules, Goronado, El Toro, Kan Po, Sudabi, Baar, Kobe and Contessa. These are some great companions to ever hired, now if I can get my very own ninja pig...hmm.

That's what I like about pirates, in my opinion.
