Transfer Pirates

[Captain Grizzly]

I was thinking back to when our original GM of Bad To The Bones left the game and we were stuck without a way to transfer the GM rights to another officer. We did what others have done, left that guild, started a new one with a new GM and tried to get everyone moved over. For those that have been through this you know what a pain it can be.

So I made a call to Disney. While you can't transfer GM rights to another pirate, I asked if you could transfer the GM pirate in whole to another person. It turns out that you can. For GMs that are planning to leave the game, they can transfer their GM pirate to an officer of their chosing.

Turns out it is fairly simple to do. You contact technical support either via email or live chat and supply the following information:

Member names of both parties.
Pirate name to be transfered.
Date of birth of the account holder. (Person I spoke with wasn't sure if both persons DOB are needed)
Last billing date on the account.
Payment type.
Billing address.

Since exchanging this information in game or here on POF is a no-no, both parties would need to contact technical support to provide the necessary information.

This may save some guilds the trouble of trying to rebuild as long as the GM is willing and has someone to give the pirate to.
