Caution: Pirates at Work

Fixing Stuck Ships & Inventory Limits

Just ask Captain Jack Sparrow - even the best laid plans get mixed up ... like a week ago when we offered the Gold Skull Bandana during the Founders Feast event - due to a miscommunication, we incorrectly messaged how players would be able to get the Bandana and when it was available.

We're sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you. We've seen a lot of the Bandanas in game, but if getting the item caused you grief, you'll be happy to know that later this month we'll make the Gold Skull Bandana available again (watch for more details in the Game Insider monthly Newsletter). However, please note: if your inventory is full, you WILL have to remove an item to accommodate the Bandana - at the same time we're adding a Double Gold event as a make-good for what we're calling -The Bandana Incident.

We're very aware of the inventory limitations and are working to fix this. In fact, a new inventory system is just one of the big features scheduled for 2009, read more about this on the Grog Blog.

While we're on the subject of fixing things, we're also aware that some Pirates are getting stuck at sea on their ships. We have a fix for that issue currently on our QA and Test Server and are working to get the solution out as quickly as possible (fingers crossed, by next week). We appreciate your understanding regarding these issues and as always, thanks for sailing with us.
