Free Account or Paid Account?

[grayman]

I started playing Pirates on a lark and am only using a free account. It is unlikely I will ever pay to play, but I just wondered what the split was between free accounts and paid accounts among the members here.

Currently, I'm paying. I'm was really close to the max on the Black Pearl... So I just decided to buy it. There are quite a few more people online that don't play I think.

I'm paying for now and I signed up as a founder. I figured if it turned out that I didn't care for the game I could always get my money back from selling the real map we get on eBay. (-kidding-)

I'm still playing on the test server. The basic game is a joke.

PLayed basic till lvl 3 then switched to unlimited

I like this version a whole lot better than the first one and its more fun to play now. i got really bored with TT and it was a easy decision to just order pirates.

I signed up with an Australian credit card - the only thing I had to do was pick a US state, because the rego wouldn't go through without one. Other than that the rest of my details are correct.

If you have a basic account, you can't level very far or access all the quests/weapons. If you're on unlimited, you can. In the game, basic user names are in gray, while the unlimited user names are in gold.
