It could be the quality of internet connection, however this wouldnt manifest itself on a per pirate basis (it would effect them all).
I would have to recommend that you connect to Live Chat through the official website and see if they can help. If your not getting the appropriate quests (doll/teleports) at the levels you should, and/or are having problems remaining connected.
Best of luck matey! Hope you can get a handle on it!
