| - Q: “I was wondering, what do the different colors for the Pirates’ names mean? Mine is blue and I’ve seen other players with gray names. I’ve even seen gold names but I don’t know what they mean!” A: Blue signifies that the Pirate is an Unlimited Access Member. Gray means the Pirate has Basic Access, and Gold identifies that Pirate is a Founder. Q: “I’ve seen some Pirates in the game whose names are in gold and they have a gold coin next to their name. How can I get that?” A: At its launch in October 2007, Pirates Online ran a Founder program. Players who ordered Unlimited Access to Pirates Online during this time received a Founder Title for each Pirate on their account to show that they have been with the game since its launch. Players can be recognized as Founders by their gold names and a gold Founder’s coin next to it. The Founder program ended on December 1, 2007, and at this time gold is an unavailable color for your Pirate's name. Q: “I’ve been using my weapons a lot, but now I’ve stopped gaining reputation points on them. Is this because I have Basic Access? I’m not getting the popup message telling me so that I get with other features.” A: Fully leveled weapons and complete arsenals are features and benefits for Unlimited Access Members. In order to enjoy the higher level features, you’ll need to upgrade to Unlimited Access. There are several options you can use to get Unlimited Access – visit our Membership Options page or Game Cards section of the website to learn more. We also offer Gift Subscriptions. Q: “If my Unlimited Access membership goes back to Basic Access, what happens to all my weapons and clothes in my Sea Chest?” A: You don’t need to worry about losing any of your items or progress in the game if your membership expires. When your membership goes back to Basic Access, any items that are Unlimited Access only including weapons and clothes will be locked for use until you renew your subscription. Once you become an Unlimited Access Member again, all of your items will be available for use again. Q: “What weapons can Pirates with Basic Access collect and use from the loot drops?” A: Pirates with Basic Access can collect all items from the loot drops but can only use Crude items. Keep in mind, there are no Crude Broadswords, Muskets, Bayonets, Daggers or Voodoo Staves. There are also no Crude jewelry or tattoos but there are Crude clothing items available in loot drops. If you upgrade your account to Unlimited Access, you can use any and all items you collect from loot drops including Common, Rare, Famed and Legendary. This includes clothing, weapons, potions, jewelry, and tattoos.
