Is getting Unlimited Access worth it?

[larkija]

I'm just wondering. Is it actually worth paying the price?

[larkija]

[Peggo]

Yeah, sorta...
I just signed on for the pay account two days ago.
I miss my high level pirate on the test server, and I can't find any of my friends and guildmates in the pay game. I wish there was a place to meet old friends.

so when you become a pay player, you lose your crew and guild? also, i never checked how much it is per month. is there a yearly subscription as well, i'd rather not pay each month if i do upgrade.

[Skullblade]

Yeah i never really knew if it was truly worth it. But according to this, it must be! Haha

If you pay, it opens more things for you. Like getting voodoo, being able to purchase all the ships, doing all the quests, and just being able to level everything.

I pay monthly right now. Don't want to pay for a year until I see what the expansion is. Need to see if it'll keep my interest

[Nickpf]

Oh my gosh yes it is so awesome!!!

[HaveAMagicalDay]

without paying, you can't even finish the black pearl quest!

also the basic version is too much lag!

I really believe you, there. I can't finish the quest and I want have little to no lag at all.

The answer to this question depends on your experience and interest. The free version of the game is meant to give you a taste of how the game works. You get to experience most of main game play and can decide whether or not you like the game enough to really get into it. If you like it of course you should pay since full subscription gives you the whole game.

Did you also know that you get a 40% penalty on earning exp in free mode?

There are weapons and skills you cannot get until you pay. There are quests you cannot do unless you pay. Many (including myself) will not make friends with non paying members because you figure many will not stay in the game long. You can't get the decent ships of the game until you pay.

Why on earth if you like the game would you not upgrade to a pay account? If the 9.95/month is a problem then of course you won't pay, but wish you could.

And yes, they do have the ability to pay for 6 months or 1 year at a time. (6 month option makes more sense since you do not know now how long it will take to burn out on this game). Since they haven't added anything for higher level players I will not prepay for a 6 month account because as it is there is only enough in the game to keep me here another month. They do not delete your accounts after you stop paying, they just move it to a free account again and lock out most of your stuff. You can pay again later when they actually add more to the game.

Well, I don't think I'll pay for it (mainly just I can't pay it unless gaminglagoon starts working again...). But I'm happy with just playing on the Test Server. I have my beta pirate there, and If I can't even finish the black pearl quest on the pay account, I think I'll just stay on the test server.

But It may be worth it if you really do like this game a lot.

[larkija]

The reason why is because, well, I don't really think I can stand a light sloop anymore, I want to finish more quests, I want to level up better, and I want more freedom from the free play.

[Peggo]

I finally broke down and join the full access server.
Now if only I could find my friends from the test server...

[larkija]

I'm just wondering: How is it a ripoff?

[axel006]

no because i just play unlimited access test for free.
