I think one of the top reasons to get a full account is to shut off the ads and be able to play full screen. I had to play in that windowed mode with ads on test for a few days and I HATED it. Full screen is the only way to go.

I paid just to get rid of the stoopid banners! They were driving me batty and causing major lag. I still have some lag with the paid account but it is so much better.

defenately worth it if u want to stay in the game for the long hull, or atleast till after lvl 5 so u can start getting better weapons/ships.

Yeah, sort of. . .

I thought it was well worth it at the time I joined, but I'm definitely glad I'm just on month-to-month for now. There are so many problems, and I don't think the game was truly ready to launch when they did. But it's got a lot of potential, so I'm going to stick with it a while longer.

$4.95 for the first month was worth it just to get rid of the ads. Plus there are so many more weapons/skills/ships/quests available. Will it continue to be worth it??

I've been waiting for weeks for the boss battle to be fixed, leveling up weapons which won't get me anything once I've mastered them (no notoriety or rep). And there's no story chapter to follow the boss battle, so more waiting. If they haven't made some major changes by January, I don't know if I'll stick around.

I think I'm just going to pay the $80 bucks a year. It's the cheapest out of all the others, if you add them up.

I wouldn't personally know what paying for membership is like, but I can only imagine it must be awesome. I've been in large ships, but I can't buy one, I can't buy many cool weapons or do Voodoo. For the love of god I can't even play in full screen! If my pay-pal would let me pay for it I would but until it does i'm playing semi-screen.

So i'm shouting paying for it is worth it.

I just signed up today because I found that you can max out in the free play. I was at Notoriety level 8 with two levels of the first three skills and the sweep on cutlass and I wasn't earning any more notoriety for my kills. I also found out that even the next ship up from the light sloop is a huge improvement. I did month-to-month for the $4.95 intro price and then am going to see if I can switch up to yearly after the Christmas money rolls in.

Diddo! :xwink:

Maxed my free account quickly and the game itself didn't grab me hard enough to make me want to stay/pay. I had the urge to continue to play TT when I took the free trail but don't have the same urge to play Pirates. I vote the Free Account option but could have easliy voted NO.

Even If the lag and other problems are fixed I still don't think I would pay to play.

I maxed at Notoriety Level 12 with Cutlass, Pistol, Sailing and Cannon all at level 7. Were you killing small targets?

Yeah, soon I'm also going to max out. I don't know what I'll do then. :psmiley27:

My MAIN question for all of you is: Is it worth it to buy a 90-day Gamepass? Is it more expensive than buying it online? Because I really hate paying for things over the internet, plus I don't know if I'll still like the game enough to keep paying for it month after month. I figure a Gamepass would work, but...Is it a rip-off compared to the online pricing?

no if u have the $80 right now buy the annual u end up saving and those cards are not that good

I don't know how much the game pass it, but I pay on a monthly basis. It's $10/month. I might start paying yearly if I see some great stuff come out in the near future. But looks like I'll be waiting till summer :p

It's not. The awesome blue name is worth the entire price. The game is just an extra.

I personally am a Founder, but I think alot more of Blue player than I do of Grey ones.

The game may not be as great as expected now, but in Nov. I paid for a year. I don't think I'll be leaving any time soon anyway, and I'll definitely redeem my membership once it expires. This game has potential. :3
