Oh Oh...there we go

"Pirates of the Burning Sea free-to-play with the ability to purchase premium content and various in-game items such as missions, clothes, pets and more. Players will also have the option to purchase a subscription plan known as the Captains Club, which is expected to include access to certain premium content, account upgrades and discounts."

It will kill the game, really =/.

Thanks! The privacy settings at SOE are such that relatively few previous players get the mailings.

It would be a bad idea. Hence, we're not doing that. We have a dev log coming out tomorrow that goes into this in more detail.

Do you have to pay SOE to even mention Potbs on their home page?

Have you an idea about how many it will cost for hardcoregamer to stay IG?
For example:
- playing potbs 40h/week
- Doing all pb
- Loosing 10 to 20 refits ships/.lsb ship/weeK,

Is it not possible to just continue to pay the same amount and still have free plau as before?

How's multiple accounts treated in this F2P thing? In other words, what will prevent everyone having 50,100, 1000 structure lots?
