Ohh... hmm, your posts sent quite a different tone. Maybe I'm confusing you with another... carry on children!

Edit: Nevermind, was a different Captain guy, tee-hee!

You guys are silly. :)

LOL...no I'm not you silly goose!

Other than the start (part with name). I received the same response word for word, right down to who sent it, "Javier". :)

Always a ray of hope I reckon. Hangin in there, looking forward to new stuff comin along.

WAIT, so your saving Javier sent you the SAME thing? Darn, I'm never gonna get on test!

You know how you think people send stuff just to you and make you feel special, well, that bubble popped!

FYI...I applied for beta and never got it. When we got the welcome letter from Pirates after signing up my son, I emailed them and said thanks but what I wanted was a Test or Beta...oh well.

My son played Pirates for a bit but it was sooo buggy it did not run good on his computer so we just went on with TT. Every once in awhile he would go play to see how things were progressing.

Maybe six months after it went to open...he got me to come on and help him. Seems we got to playing pretty regularly then and ended up with 3 accounts paid...one for me, one for my son, and one for whoever was here at the time.

One day out of the blue...I got an email that my son's account had been accepted for test....first I was furious...cause I wanted the test account! But I got over it and told him to go check it out.

Guess what? All three accounts were available on test!

Maybe because they were all linked, maybe because we used the same account names/passwords as we had on TT? Who knows?

You just never know...don't lose hope...you may just get on test yet.

Yes and I didnt mean to burst your bubble, we can hope that those that inquire are all thrown into the next selection bin to be drawn from (or however they do it).

Not surprised they have a form letter for it, not uncommon at all.

Was an interesting coincidence that both replies came from Javier. :)

lol this is the email i got months ago
Dear Pirates Online Guest,

Thank you for contacting Pirates of the Caribbean Online.

Invitations to the Pirates Online Test Server are being chosen at random
based on how long an account has had an active paid subscription, as
well as if it is in good standing with our Moderation department. We are
not currently sending out any additional invites to participate on the
Test server via a waiting list, however we appreciate your interest in
our Test Server and may consider your account in an upcoming batch!

We hope to see you in the Caribbean again soon!

Thank you,

Vanessa
Pirates of the Caribbean Online

different person similar message

I got the same thing when I asked live chat about test server invites, I already deleted the e-mail, but it was something like: "Test Server invites are given at random for pepole with Unlimited Access and have not broken any policy rules in the past"

So yea, they basically say the same thing to everyone. After the "have not broken policy rules" I was like oh great ill never get it now, ive been banned twice.
Im REALLY starting to regret those 2 suspensions now...

Still possible...
 

The point I was trying to make was...our first account was purchased whenever Pirates first opened. The second two accounts were opened and paid the end of May.

We got test acccounts on all 3 the first of June.

So never say never!

It has been pretty deserted when I have gotten on to try out the new stuff...so maybe they will need some new active people!

I'd sure like to get a Test Account. As it is I will be leveling up my 3rd and 4th pirates over the next month and when that is done I will be quite bored. I'd like to have the opportunity to go on Test to create new pirates and test the updates. At the very least it would keep me busy. I'm not much into chasing down 500 corvettes for a clothing ensemble, but I would like to help make the game better.

I too would like a test account, I just wish I knew a year ago they were actually coming out with the game. I would have joined then and not in February when I saw a commercial. I only have 1 master pirate with a few skills left to master and I do not see myself creating others, I find it to be too repetitive and boring.

Hopefully I get an invite to test; if not, no loss I will just carry on my pirating ways on live.

If it makes you feel any better I signed up in January and got invited to the test server last month... so if you have a good record and have been playing for a while you've got just as good of a chance as anyone

There is a big difference between these two statements.

One implicates a matter of current status, "possibly" prior descretions may be not taken into consideration if the individual has shown better restraint (or the circumstances of the situation were not a major issue).

The other is black/white, you made a mistake, you have no chance.


I going to go with what weve seen in our recent emails, and not the latter. It also helps me think I still have a chance despite my 1, 3 day suspension.

Thanks alana, thats good to know. I will keep my chin up. :grin:
