[Platinum Pirate]

Uh, I'm Basic. You know that Crimson. I know your stated goal was to master your first pirate before your Unlimited Access expired. My first pirate is still Notoriety 49 which many find it quite astonishing: Gee whiz, Plat, when are you going to master your pirate? Yeah I know. But that tells you something about my character. I am in no hurry to get from A to B. I make the most of my time when I do have Unlimited Access but not at the expense of who I really am.

I have my card handy which cost only $9.95 at my local CVS store. I'm in no hurry to activate it. I have some real life stuff to handle still. Meantime, whenever I do get the chance to play, I see it as a wonderful opportunity to stockpile on gold and ship materials for my pirates as Basic. I don't mind when others who have Unlimited get them as soon as they want to or can. I appreciate it every time they invite me to plunder with them. I thank you, Crimson, for allowing me to sail your War Brig yesterday. That was a blast sinking those Hunters by myself. Almost did it with that SOTL but darn thing disappeared on me which made it pointless to continue. I plan to get that War Brig for my youngest and poorest pirate someday. rofl, and don't get me wrong. I plan to try it again too. I'm just nutty.

Anyway, what I'm basically [No pun intended here. It just came out that way.] saying here is follow my lead and just take your anger out on those enemies in-game. POTCO will get around to getting more quests like Nate and Hammy have told you. All of us understand your frustrations. You have every good reason to not spend your good money for the reasons stated. So be it. Won't stop others to spend theirs for their particular reasons, mine included.

I'll still be there whenever you'd like to spend time together. Enjoy the break.
