Keep to the Code - July 07, 2009

More Pirates are joining us in the Caribbean everyday! Just a reminder mates, ALL Pirates are expected to live by the code - and by that we mean the Pirates Online Code of Conduct.

Pirates that don't follow these rules can not only be removed from the game (in some cases permanently) but they also loose the chance for special opportunities, like being selected for the Player Spotlight or a free account upgrade*. Your behavior could also negatively affect your guild if they are being considered for the Guild Spotlight.**

Keep your account in good standing, follow these tips:

- Pirates of all ages sail these waters, so always mind your tongue. Inappropriate topics outlined in the Code of Conduct are not acceptable and could get you removed from the game if you discuss them.

- Never ask for or give your personal information to anyone in the game or online. This includes your phone number, email or home address - It's just not safe.

- Don't harass other players. Show your fellow Pirate brethren some respect and treat others as you would like to be treated.

Let's make the Caribbean a welcoming place for all Pirates by keeping to the code!

* We sometimes select Pirates at random for free account upgrades. If you are selected for an upgrade, we will review your account to make sure it's in good standing, if it's not, you will not be eligible for the opportunity.

** Guilds being considered for the Guild Spotlight should have Guild Masters and Officers without account violations for the past 60 days. The guild should also have at least 75% of their members in good standing, with no account violations.

Yay another follow the pirate code. I wouldnt call that an update. However the keeping you guild in line is actually a pretty good idea.

Gee, I had just decided to break the code next time I played, but this update changed my mind!

Basil, please keep me in line. Obviously I cannot take care of myself.

safety and making members happy don't always work well together

They spend more time monitoring the chitter chatter and other non sense instead of working on new content, that the time monitoring chitter chatter and put it more into developing new content!!!
