Why are you making a pirate?

I've been playing over 2 years now. I've pretty much always been an archer. I have several 3x characters of other classes (cleric, bandit, permabeginner), but never seem to get into them very much, and always go back to my bowmaster.

I'm starting a gunslinger for something new and different. Several of my old friends are starting pirates too, so we'll run around being noobs again.

I doubt I'll get it past 70, but we'll see how I like it.
