'''International Talk like a Pirate Day''' was a weekend event that occurred from the 18th to 21st of September, 2008 and 2009. Intended to coincide with [[Wikipedia:International Talk Like a Pirate Day|International Talk Like a Pirate Day]], the update was not officially documented like other holiday events. No news or update notes documented the changes except a small bug fix notice at the end of the event. On International Talk Like a Pirate Day itself, many NPC's in the port cities were reskinned as [[Corsair]]s, while [[Bottles of Grog]] were dropped by all monsters in the game throughout the weekend.
