Spring Blooms, Seas Turn Green
We welcome spring to the Caribbean and with it a mysterious green algae that blooms in the waters surrounding the islands. Legend has it that algae bloom is an omen of things to come - that green seas attract large sea creatures, like whales and giant squids.
Some though say it was the Irish Pirate Shamus O' Malley - not algae - that turned the sea green. Shamus it seemed couldn't bear to see the green inks and dyes intended for the Caribbean Saint Patrick's celebration shipped off to Europe. So he and other pirates raided EITC ships and dumped their cargos of ink and dyes into the ocean (saving enough for the shopkeepers, of course). What do you think happened?
Where in the Caribbean is Shamus O' Malley?
Looking for Shamus O' Malley? Remember, Shamus doesn't like large crowds, look for him off the beaten path or in shops, or lonely beaches. When you do find Shamus, greet him and then whisper the secret phrase. Have a pen and paper handy, Shamus will whisper you a code that can be redeemed in-game for gold! Be quick - Shamus looks to spread his fortune with many Pirates (only on St. Patrick's Day) and will be off before you know it!
| How to use Shamus' code for gold: 1) Hit 'Enter' to open the chat window. 2) Type /code in the chat window followed by the code Shamus gives you.
3) Hit 'Enter' again to redeem 4) If done correctly, you'll see a notice appear that the code has been redeemed successfully and your gold amount will increase. |
