Miss having my 30 days free. Anyone else sad to be back to Basic?

[Luckie OClover]

I am in the same boat right next to you Matey. My free trial ended Sunday.
The thought of having an unmastered pirate made me want to run a skellie through to earn enough gold to pay the membership fee.
I took out my trusty coin pouch (aka, ATM card), and swiftly went to upgrade my lowly status.
What I found out is that we don't qualify for the $4.95. Because we no longer count as first time members.
I think this down right stinks! But then again I did play for a month free, so get over it, right!?
What is a pirate addict to do?
I quickly punched in my numbers and hit send......Yippee, I'm a member pirate once again.
(But only a month at a time. Sheesh, I gotta run through more Skellies!)
