Yarr mateys, landlubbers and scallywags! This Saturday be the grandest, greatest o' world events in all o' Azeroth. Why, I'm talkin' about Pirates' Day, o' course. Ye may recall that last year the fearsome Dread Captain DeMeza an' her crew shipped in t' Booty Bay in thar Stranglethorn Vale. Well, we be makin' ourr return fer another round!
Saturday, we be takin' the liberty o' sendin' some pirate commoners to shack up in all o' yer cities. All ye scurvy dogs have t' do is speak with me pirate mateys an' agree t' don some fine pirate garb o' yer own fer up t' 12 glorious hours. Then get ye t' Booty Bay, talk t' me Captain t' become an honorary pirate, an' partake in the pillage alongside ye Goblin brethren. Just keep ye away from me booty!
Lily-livered lads and lasses, ye need not attend: PvP servers will be rife with swashbucklin' and riotin'. But ye adventurers with half a backbone arr invited to join in on the dancin', eatin', drinkin' and shootin' o' fireworks. Listen t' the piratey music an', if ye dare, take a nice, long look at the fine, partially dressed pirate ladies. Me drunken corsairs might e'en fire ourr cannons int' the bay. I' ye want t' converse with me mateys, try First Mate Hapana, his talkin' assault parrot Nyuni, Cap'n Slappy an' o' course Ol' Chumbucket. Find a hearty bottle o' rum an' enjoy a years' worth o' celebration packed int' a mere 24 hours.
Share a drink with me Captain DeMeza, an' being the fine lass that she is, the pirate lass will bestow on ye an achievement fer participatin' on this grandest of all holidays. Don' be gettin' greedy, though, fer a title ye do not deserve!
I expect ye t' be there, lest feel the wrath of me wench!

Uhh... What?
Darn you kids today and your fancy pants language.
Arrrrrr...
Yo ho yo ho a pirates life for me!
Arrrr seein u there matey.............
Har har, this be well written article, mate!
I was very disappointed with this "holiday". I talked to her without knowing what was going on (didn't realize it was pirate day until I got the achievement) and boom, it's over.
Arrr! Time to plunder the cities!! Find the wenches and scallywags, eat drink and be merry!
The 12 hour buff is bugged tho. Mine vanished as soon as i wandered into the mist at horthgar's bay and most of my friend's buffs also vanished. Bit of a let down since it was supposed to only vanish if you actually cancelled it.
Arrh maties, this be the holiday fer the greatest pvp battle o' all time. YAARHH!
If you google "pirate day" this is a fictional holiday known as Talk Like a Pirate Day. Wikipedia has more info for those who are curious.
