I have had this problem and use my phone.... Tried it the other day...

Looks to be fixed now. I am able to transfer gold to my pirate now.

Correct me if im wrong, but my observation is...

You can only transfer "loot" to a pirate, once a day.

It wouldnt let me transfer to my current main pirate once I did it this morning, but it would let me transfer to another one of my 4 pirates.

Unless they changed it, you should be able to transfer 1,000 gold to each of your pirates every 24 hours.. If that's why you mean?

No, you can get other items, that transfer to Treasure Items on your pirate in game, also you can get "sheet music" which are additional songs at the musicians in the taverns. This is called "Loot" in the game (not gold).

I transferred my "Loot" to Dr. Zeppers this morning, played a bit longer, and it wouldnt let me transfer my new "Loot" to Dr. Zeppers again, but it would let me transfer it to my pirate OFx Zeppers.

Hmm.. maybe the 24 hours applies to the loot too? That wouldn't really make sense it it does though :P

Its fixed on mine now. is it fixed on everyone elses?
