My closet is full, how do I get my special edition bandana?

[Kitfisto]

At least they're trying to fix it. Had to delete the Truehound Bandanna and the Calcutter hat. Didn't like the Truehound one anyway, and I've still got my Barbossa which looks like the Calcutter.

Ok me fellow pirates.. the latest update on the bandana/full closet situation....

Latest response:
-----------------------------------

Thank you for your recent message. We appreciate your patience as we work to resolve the issue with obtaining the Gold Skull Bandana.

We originally messaged in the Grog Blog that you would not have to delete any items from your inventory to get the Gold Skull Bandana - this was not the case, as players did have to delete items from their inventory to get the Bandana.

There was also an issue with the times the item would be available - the message on the website was correct, while the in-game message was not, the item was only available during days of the Founders Feast 11/27 - 11/30. We will make the Bandana available again in the very near future and have forwarded the information you've provided to our engineers.

We apologize for the miscommunication regarding how to collect the item. We are working to improve our inventory system and communication points - remember always check the Current News at www.PiratesOnline.com for the latest information about the game and upcoming items and events.

We appreciate your understanding and support, and hope to see you in the Caribbean again soon!

It would appear we are getting some progress. Now what I didnt share in here were the solutions I had included in my bug report. I had basically told them that since the inventory obviously supported more than 4 items that they should open up our inventory a bit and let us have more. I also suggested as an alternative that "Quested" items should not count against inventory, only purchased items. Special Edition items can be distributed a "Quest" items and not effect a pirates "purchased" inventory. That would allow us to quest away, and get these items without it effecting our purchased items/warddrobe (or our max inventory). And finally offered that they should allow us to sell starter items that are 'optional' in the very first place. No you cant sell the articles of clothing that would keep the game 'clean' but this would help us to clear an item or two in some categories of clothing.

What if they made the quests for the clothing redo-able? That'd be something for one.

I would definately like to see that. I had suggested this awhile back, thinking the reward could perhaps be something from a pool of reserved random items. Allowing for a bit more variety, and keep people interested as they repeat the quests to get all the items.

[Tommy Two Times]

Zep the reason you cannot sell your starter items is due to the Clothing quests, as far as I am aware, are for unlimited only. If you were to decide not to pay your subscription, you default back to the original chothes. A suggestion on this matter is when starting a pirate, only select basic items. for guy pirates all you have to select is pants and a shirt.

I have also been on my own quest with disney about the Privateering prizes from the contest back in September. No one in the Seafury Guild has recieved their prizes for the contest. I called Disney a couple weeks back and was told that they are behind on things and that it would be another 6 to 8 weeks!! There has only been one of us, at this point, who has recieved their Founder Skull as well. These were supposed to have been mailed and recieved by now. Not sure what is going on behind the scenes over there at Disney online, but it appears from this pirate that there is not alot of work going on!

I understand why it doesnt currently let you get rid of your starter items, and it has nothing to do with the clothing quests. Some of these clothing items are optional. These are the ones I propose it should let us sell/get rid of. I wouldnt want it to leave a pirate reverting to basic unclothed of course. The "why" was never in question here, quite frankly that was obvious. Thats why I proposed only allowing us to sell the "optional" items as one possible means of helping to alleviate the inventory issue. We arent talking about how to play the game and make choices. Was trying to come up with ideas for Disney to solve the obvious problem.

Not surprised they are behind.. however i've never heard about a "Founder Skull". I know many founders and this has never been a subject of conversation.
There was a "Cloth map" that was to be shipped to certain members, which as I understand it has already been shipped/recieved by most.

Assuming this is the same thing mentioned, one of my GMs got the skull

[Tommy Two Times]

That is the skull I was referring to. It says "Pirates of the Caribbean one year anniversary" on the base. It is the "special gift" that was mentioned in posts on the POTCO main site building up to the one year anniversary. When I called Disney about them, I was told they were being delivered in bunches instead of sending them all out at once. It was explained that all founders who have paid for the game for the entire year "should" be getting one.

Many people have thought that this was one of the 15 winners prizes for unlimited in October. The founder that got one from our group was not on that winnig list, I doubt that POTCO would consider this a "prize pack"


T2X

[Dr. Zeppers]

Well they mentioned some prizes for founders, etc over this 1 year anniversary.

Never saw anything offering this to all founders.

I would rather they be putting this money into development where its obviously needed.

[Sarah]

Interesting about the skull. I'll have to call and see for myself. Not that I need a skull shaped paperweight...I agree they should be putting in their money and effort into development, not little trinkets for a group of people who, in large, don't play anymore.

We apologize for the miscommunication regarding how to collect the item. We are working to improve our inventory system and communication points

Miscommunication?!? More like big fat blunder. "Internal Comminications Error" or not, they should have demonstrated a little good customer service, and kept the bandana available til Dec 7th. IMO. Your mistake Disney, not ours. More people read the little green pop up announcements in game than read the news. Me thinks it would have been good PR to stick to what everyone saw in game.

Ah Well, thanks for the info Zep. Look forward to see what thay have to say next
