True, you do have to have to pay for that second account before they will do the transfer - but if what your looking for is for multiple family members to play at the same time with pirates they already built on that one acount - then its an option to look at

It would be nice if / when they would release a more automated way of doing that (like some type of selection screen where you see your pirates, select which ones you want to transfer and then select which account to send them to would be nice) - but since that doesnt exist now and you want the option, you can give that message a try.

As Zep mentions, a family package of some sort would also be nice (just like with their WDW tickets - the more days you stay the cheaper the per day price is - the more accounts you have the cheaper the per account price would be )

Why should I have to pay more to have my family play a family game? Milton-Bradley doesn't make you send them money in order to get the other pieces to Monopoly so the rest of your family can play.

There used to be a way to switch between linked accounts. My son's account is linked to mine and I have an unlimited account. My son has a pirate on my account and he would log in under his account, wait until he gets to his account screen then just switch over to my account and play his pirate WHILE (and this is the important part) I was already logged in on my account playing with my pirate.

The fact that Disney has removed that option, even though there are better ways to stop the banned people from going to their other accounts in order to play (which their reasoning makes no sense since the person could easily just create a new account. IP banning is so much simplier!) and has not offered any other way for multiple pirates on one account to play together reeks of greed.

Yes, my son could just play his basic account until he can play no more, but where exactly is the fun in that? We actually had a bit of fun playing together and helping each other out since there are so many people who even though you ask don't want to help anyone with anything and is just there to socialize (I've seen many characters standing around the beaches just talking to others--for hours!) and to be perfectly honest, it's a bit safer playing with other members of your own family--people you know aren't predators.

Disney has spent so much it seems just to keep us from saying the word hell in game so that younger players can enjoy the game. Not exactly sure what era they are in, but I've personally heard worse from kids in the grocery store. Don't think them reading the word hell is going to do much mental damage.

You do however bring up a good suggestion for someone willing to shell out an extra ten dollars a month these days. And it would be nice to not only have it easier to transfer characters between accounts, but things like gold between players! Keep in mind I haven't played this game for about four, five months and only played yesterday morning for about an hour to check out the 3D. I'm not quite up-to-date on what you can and can't do in-game. It was my son who noticed that he couldn't switch to my account to play his pirate yesterday when I happen to mention to him that pirates went 3D.
