Ok I know most of us serious players are unlimited access, but I myself use a game card and recently it ran out.(I got another) But while I was basic I realized you can't do anything basically.(Play on Words?) I for one think they should give basic access people the chance to experience more of the game. Maybe for the first three days after they sign up give them unlimited then back to basic. But allow Basic to go up to level 20 notoriety and level 10 skills. It will give them more of a taste of the game so they can see what they are missing by not having unlimited therefore they will be more inclined to purchase unlimited access. And the more people they get paying, the more updates we get. Also the more money means that they might finally be able to fix some of the bugs and glitches and lag in the game. I for one hate doing invasions because of lag. So tell me what you guys think of this topic.

Aye they do mate, but what I'm talking about is for the first three days after you sign up you have free unlimited access to test it out. If you know what your missing you will want it more.

I remember way back when you got a 7 day full screen trail... (Full Screen was only available to UA at the time) Basic players had to deal with a much smaller screen with "Ads" But all thats ancient stuff. Something like that could be a good idea, or at least a raise in the basic cap.

Yeah I remember the fullscreen trial too. That was crazy back then. Lol I feel like an old man talkin bout the old days rofl.
 
I'm a monthly paying member, and I lost my unlimited access because I forgot to make a payment, so before I went back to get unlimited access, I played a little while as a basic access member. I couldn't wear any cool clothes ( Except my crude brights and blacks ) couldn't use any skills, any weapons, it was awful.
 
well i just want them to get half the game like level 25 and skill 15 and can get commons and frigates and go fishing out to sea. also for basic to match unlimeted everybody can buy more hp and voodoo for like 5 gold for 5 hp or 5 voodoo

Well that would be going a little too far. The whole point of Basic Access is to show what your missing without unlimited so you will purchase it. If you give them too much they will just play basic.
 
With the coming of ship customization and and the brig, i think basics will get enough. I always have said that basics should get more than what hey have now but not to much to ruin the business. All light class ships seems like a good addition and it is not to much but also not little because it's now 4 ships available for basics instead of 2. Basics is always about giving new players a taste of the game. Figuratively, the whole game would be a pie, however basics only should get enough to taste that pie so in the future they buy one. POTCO needs to do the same for basics and i think with the new content they made a move to the right direction(as a business because it will persuade more players to upgrade now that they see the game can be really fun playing with more content) but remember that it is and will always be basic for a reason, and that asking for too much could effect the games business negatively. If the game business is effected negatively then the game itself also get gets effected negatively.
 
i think the starting stuff for all the weapons should be crude and that they should get to finish part one of the black pearl crew

Well Disney already makes tons of money , they dont really need to be that strict about their policy. They limit basic players too much. The cap should be what he said, 25 notoriety and 15 skill, but the other things, idk.
