So I asked this very question: "How much is it going to cost to play the game"

They said the game will be free.
However there is going to be an advanced version of the game with more features, etc that has not been determined yet.
If you choose to upgrade from the free version,
Its going to cost $9.95 a month U.S. currency.
Doesnt sound to bad in all if you ask me, XBox live and ToonTown costs the same.

Hope this information helps.
It came directly from the PiratesOnline Reps.

This is all answered on the site... -_- I already know this. Does anybody read the first post?

I'm just opening a subject for when we can select either game version.

Ok, here goes:

The essential game is free to play. You can visit a couple, but not all of the islands, and your character customization is limited. I'm also pretty sure that there are certain actions you cannot perform and that you have to go with the pre-selected name feature like in TT. This version of the game is also ad-supported. Since you can play this version for as long as you want, think of it as an extented TT free trial.

The advanced game is $9.95 a month. You can access all character customization and type your own name. You can visit all of the islands and do everything. I'm sure they will have the same kind of payment options as TT where you get money off for buying more time. And I'm not sure here-but it would be THE SWEETEST TOTALLY MOST ROCKINGLY AWESOME SUPERCALAFRAGALICIOUSEXPEALADOCIOUS thing if- if you already have a paid TT account, you can play both Pirates Online and TT and only pay once.

Once again, actually read the first post.

I did. I was elaborating on yours for people who may not have understood.

[Soufriere_hills]

oh ok i really need a beta key

[Captain]

:Oh just you huh?

[HaveAMagicalDay]

I think when it officially opens when you sign in each time it will ask you if you wish to pay. If you start to pay each month, then it wont come up asking to pay (until end of month maybe). If you decide not to pay for a while, and later on you decide to i think when you start playing you will be able to pay and continue your adventures. Arg!

There is no exact date. But as of right now, if you got to piratesonline.com it says "Coming Spring 2007" so not before summer. Not that long of a wait once you think about it.

Darn, I'm already paying for Toontown. Oh, well...

It's very unlikely that they will not have you pay for both but don't give your hopes up

What features does it take off if you don't pay? I thought there were just alot of ads.

[pirate_catt]

they might make it kind of like gopets (if anyone knows what im talking about), where you pay to get special monthly items and a few more $$, sort of deal possibly, but its just a hunch
