I agree with you about changing the price. Last year in November I suggested that POTCO should have a third option: Semi Access. Notoriety is capped at 20 or 21 while skills are capped at 10 with rank 3. For about $4.95, a player can enjoy some UA. They can unlock the Dagger and Grenades and make the most of them. Even those, who maxed all their pirates, can purchase SA instead of FA (Full Access). They can use all weapons and war ships as usual.

The only drawback is if at any point they decide to delete one of those four pirates, they can't create another. Must upgrade to FA to do that. It's a fair bargain all things considering. POTCO can place some reminders every time our screen loads to upgrade our account to FA. And for those who have FA and prefer to pay less, SA is offered. Anything but BA is the idea. Those with BA will obviously be offered either SA, or FA to enjoy greater play.

I think more people will be inclined to pay SA readily compared to FA.
