Went from Unlimited to Basic

Ok, went throught the same thing. However I couldnt afford to go back to unlimited for a few months. Thank God I am unlimited again.
As a basic player, you only have access to a light sloop or light galleon. Yes your weapons skills are decreased and you no longer can use the daggers or nades or staff.

But with these last updates you should be able to create 4 pirates. Previously it was only two for basic access players. And you should also be able to buy clothes and change clothes. I dont understand why you cant wear your hat. May need to contact them again about this.

As for the updates. They have apparently been working on the kraken. On the POTCO website, you can view the concept art of the kraken that is to come. No idea, of course, of when, but it will be here. I am assuming that it will be this year, based upon what the Host GMs have said in the past about big updates for those pirates who are pirate masters coming this year.

Good luck, and remember you can always hop on a public ship, play poker and black jack, and plunder till you heart is content. Seeing the rep isnt increasing much if any, then this be all you can do. I'm sorry, I have been there.

Not sure if its been changed, but last I checked, basic access accounts still could only have 2 pirates, it just looks like you can have 4. When you try to click on the make a pirate button you get a message saying that you have to be unlimited access to do that.

If the hat you were wearing was from a quest or something, then I don't think you could wear it, or if it was the one given out to unlimited access players.

I had gone basic a while ago as well, its not very fun, I quickly switched back to unlimited just to get everything unlocked again. The only reason they lock everything and don't let you level up much is because they want it so that you actually pay for playing. In my opinion, the more they give basic access players, the more they take away from unlimited access players.

I agree....unlimited access players are the ones that keep the game going. Without them the funds would run out...and it will end up like VMK. "POOF"
