We've pulled a list together of some of the most frequently asked questions we've received (thanks again for sending them in!) - check out the list below:
1) What is the coin above some Pirates' heads?
This coin indicates that the account holder of that Pirate is a Founder. Founders are players that either pre-ordered the game or purchased Unlimited Access to the game before midnight on December 2.
2) What do the name tag colors mean?
Blue name tag: Player has Unlimited Access
Grey name tag: Player has Basic Access
Gold name tag: Player is a Founder and has Unlimited Access
3) How do I log out of the game?
There are two ways to log out of the game:
- Option 1: Click the "Options" button at the lower right of your screen or hit F7 to bring up the Options Panel. From here, click the "Log out" button to return to your Pick-a-Pirate screen
- Option 2: Hit Shift-F2
4) How do I change to windowed mode?
- Step 1: Click the "Options" button at the lower right of your screen or hit F7 to bring up the Options Panel
- Step 2: You can select windowed mode here by clicking the fullscreen on/off button
5) What is a tonic, and where do I buy them?
- Tonics refresh your health while in battle and should be purchased BEFORE entering battle.
- They are especially important if you are fighting alone or against high-level enemies.
- Tonics can be purchased at any gypsy cart. Go to the gypsy and click on the "Store" button. The Tonics will be available on the third tab (look on the left side of the panel for the tabs).
- To use a tonic: press "T" or click the tonic icon to drink and recover some health.
6) What is a crew good for?
By crewing up, you can easily keep track of the other Pirates you are playing with. You can teleport to each other's ships and can easily locate your crew should you end up in jail. You also get a 10% notoriety bonus for every enemy you defeat while part of a crew.
7) What is the Test Server? How do I get access to it?
The Test Server is a separate, invite only, version of the game where we test new game content, features, game updates, bug fixes, and upcoming changes to the game before they are incorporated into the live game.
Those players who participated in the Pirates Online Beta Test (phase 1 or 2) automatically have access to the Test Server and can log in by clicking on the Pirates Online Test Launcher icon located on their desktop. If you have access, but still need to download the Test Launcher, please do so by using the appropriate link below.
For PC, please click here.
For Mac, please click here.
While we are not currently sending out any additional invitations to play on the Test Server, we will be doing so in the near future, so stay tuned!
8) Do you plan on expanding the game and its content? Will you continue to make fixes and updates while new content is being added?
Yes, we will continue to add new content to Pirates Online on a regular basis in order to ensure that there will always be new adventures to be had, locations to explore, enemies to battle and defeat, and many new treasures to discover. While we have a team dedicated to developing this new content and expanding the game, we also have a team that is solely dedicated to fine tuning the game, fixing bugs, and continuously making game updates and enhancements.
