What will happen to my pirates?
 

Hi,

I bought a 3-month subscription 2 weeks ago, which should see me through to the end of July. The problem is, I'm going to be working away from home and from a computer from end of June to the end of August, and therefore have no need to immediately renew my subscription in July. Because of that, I don't want to renew my subscription until I get back, so I don't miss out on any more subscription time. Therefore I'm asking what will happen to my account, and pirates, if I don't renew in July?

Sorry if this thread is confusing, I couldn't find another way to word it.

I dont think anything happens. As far as I know your account is kept in the database, even though you wont be unlimited for that short amount of time.

I understand where you're getting at. I use Game Cards, so when my subscription runs out, I have to buy another game card. My characters stay there, at the same levels. However, you can't use all of your skills, since you are limited to the first two or so. Also you can't PvP, and if you are above a certain level, you can no longer receive rep. until you get unlimited again. You can't use your ships if they are not lights ships. Your name will change to a gray color. That's pretty much it. Once you renew yer subscription you will get everything back. Oh, and also if you bought clothes and tattoos, you will not be allowed to wear them and yer pirates will revert to their old clothes from when you first started the game. After you renew, everything will return to normal.

Your pirates will stay in the database for up to 6 months. (got that in a live chat with POTCO).

U'll resort back to a basic member for the time you dont pay. Once you start paying again you will have access to all the goodies again.

Thanks guys, that's put my mind at rest :)

My friend had this happen and couldn't pay for like 2 weeks, all of ths ksills and weapons and boats that you would have as unlimited will have a little padlock symbol over them and will be locked until you renew. Which means 1 rank broadsides, a light sloop and no weapons beyond a level 2 voodoo doll.
