Switching our accounts?

[Schmoofy]

I pre-ordered to game to ensure I wouldn't have to put up with any ads during the time I have to play the game. I logged on and got the original beta screen from back earlier this year, including ads and such, which is what you guys are also experiencing. I can't level anything, bring out a weapon, or teleport. It's completely annoying. Then again, this is a pull for people to pre-order the game, I'm sure of it. It's fine with me right now, I'll just go play some other game, but being I pre-ordered, pssh.

At this stage of beta I wouldn't get to attached anyway, I'm sure we will see at least one more charter wipe before release.

[dichuy]

and they think they can release this for Fall of 2007? HA, I don't think so. Sigh. I know this switching comes with beta territory, but I find it annoying.

Well, I can't even test the basic because the screen to play, it shows my character but then where it says play, it's too far down on the screen. When I try to move the window up higher, it goes back down so I can't even play! I'm using the bug report on it.

I heard that all the people with their names in gray are basic, and names in gold are unlimited.

[Gizmo103151]

Those with the gold over their heads are Unlimited Access.

They also kicked me back to Basic, so I did make a new character to give my feedback from that perspective but was annoyed my LvL 20 has everything locked. Sigh, I just got my grenade tasks, had purchased my steel cutlassand was gaining experience in all my other weapons.

Being new to beta testing I had no idea what to expect. Fortunately there was a nice person on last nite that explained it all to me. She said she had beta tested lots of other games.

I was saddened by the fact that you probably wont be able to keep you character.

I did rant and rave and blew off steam. I would have at least like an email notice or something they were switching some accounts.

When I went online today most all who were on are Unlimited Access. Makes me wonder how they can get an accurate report on Basic.

My account got switched also and I think if they want to do the free then make the screen bigger like toontown does when you sign up for free. I did let them know I do not like the popup window asking you to upgrade your account right in the middle of you fighting or sailing. Last night I played to help a friend and it was horrible kept popping up several times in a row. I do hope to get unlmited access again. There is alot of tweaking to be done especially sailing. We shall see what happens. Of course TT still has its problems.

I'm also a pre-order but my account is still unlimited.

Just luck of the draw I guess. Either way it's ok, this is beta and we are here to test. I'm laying low anyway till the last character wipe.

[Gizmo103151]

I agree Ms Moofers, it is a very small screen and I have a wide monitor can you imagine those with laptops? They need to plunder some pirate glasses!

[TooHip]

I pre-ordered and got changed to Basic. Almost seemed automatic. I had unlimited before my order, and Basic the first time I tried after ordering only hours later. Guess I wont be playing that pirate any more.

[koalita]

I preordered and was switched to Basic, but my husband hasn't preordered yet and still has Unlimited. My friend who preordered also got switched to Basic. How many others who have preordered have NOT been switched to Basic?

[HaveAMagicalDay]

They should do it this way for testing:

Pre-Order People: Get to test unlimited access

Non Pre-Order People: Get to test the Basic Version

It doesn't seem fair, in my opinion, to do this would be more fair then having pre-paid people test the basic version

I'm far into the game, and can't get rep for anything now, and the second account I made, is new, and it still gets little rep (3 rep per enemy defeated no matter how strong they are).

You need to change your Windows screen settings to 1280x1024 resolution. Then the entire POTCO screen will fit.

My account got switched today to basic. Hate the Window and the ads.:h-eek:

I agree!

I just found out tonight they switched my account to basic! That is so unfair considering I pre-ordered and others are walking around with unlimited accounts who possibly didn't! I sent them a message asking if those of us who pre-ordered could have unlimited access. They should either make everyone be basic or unlimited not split, that's just way unfair. I was so close to getting my voodoo doll. :h-mad: I know that none of this counts for my pirate in the future but it is excellent practice and will help me figure out how to pass quests faster when I have to do them again.
