Gold & Glory Weekend is live, meaning you'll get twice the usual reputation and gold for your antics! A perfect time to set out on your Gilded Voyage, but also a good time for plundering privateers to go in search of profits to pilfer... keep a keen eye on the horizon, pirates.
We think the term "weekend" is more what you'd call a guideline...
We're ringing in the New Year with a Gold & Glory Weekend! From 12am tomorrow, Dec 30th, until 11:59pm Jan 2nd (GMT) you'll earn twice the usual rep and gold for your hijinks upon the high seas. Good luck, pirates!
Don't know who needs to hear this but you don't need to keep loads of loot on your ship, it's fine to just sell it as you find it.
Who are the crewmates that helped you get through 2020?
Welcome to all the new scoundrels sailing the seas! What advice would any practised pirates reading this like to pass on?
Happy holidays, pirates! We hope you have a good day, however you're spending it this year. ❤
If you could ask us for anything for Christmas, what requests would you make, pirates?
Secret Santa
As a special almost-Christmas treat, we've managed to swipe a sample of @TobyStephensInV, AKA Black Sails' Captain Flint, reading Sea of Thieves novel Athena's Fortune! You'll be able to stream/download the full audio book early next year, but for now, enjoy his handsome timbre.
Attention pirates! Our Community crew have dropped anchor and are retreating to their quarters for some seasonal rest.
You'll see the odd tweet wash up, but we'll be back in January with high spirits and an eye towards an incredible 2021. Until then, cheers for sailing with us!
If you've put out some decorations for the holidays, we have to ask... any pirate-themed bedecking at your place?
Please give a cheer for the Affiliate Alliance, crew of 2020! Our affiliated fan communities have led some brilliant events and varied initiatives this year, and we couldn't be prouder to partner with them. Find a group that fits your sailing style here:
Our pirates may not always be on key, but they're certainly full of festive cheer. And by festive cheer, we mean rum. Our Christmas no. 1 contender '12 Deeds of Giving' is available to stream and buy from your platform of choice whenever you fancy!
