How can you guys afford free to play?

The entire organization is completely non-profit. We don't make money. A few willing mates at the team are going to help pay for the servers, but we're not allowed to accept donations either at this time.
Very nice, though I would edit this - many things are repeated :p

Alot of simple questions, but that's just because i'm answering all of the questions that i've been getting. I didn't repeat anything tho...

While I am skeptical of another remake, I think a lot of people despite skepticism or not have another question that is likely to be FAQ'd.... Amongst the many bugs, would the Kingshead one be included? It is a question I am sure someone would eventually ask so might as well get it heard out now. Also, some your FAQs in text were repeated, not sure if you noticed.

We are recoding the game so there shouldn't be many bugs. And any bugs will be fixed.
Johnny da Pirate - Would you like me to edit out the duplicated parts within the main part of this thread?

Sure.
 
Questions:

1. How many multiple pirates can we have? 4?
2. Can we name our pirate(s) whatever names - within reasons, appropriately - we'd like, instead of limited to preset names? Or do we need Game Moderator's approval? The same question holds true in naming guilds and ships.
3. Could we transfer our old Potco pirates over to this newly-built game? (Just kidding ... but I'd really like to know the answer ;) )
4. Could we have pets? Would be greatly appreciate it. I'd like to have a dog; I missed my chance to have mine the last month before Potco was closed.

I'd appreciate the answers.

The last part is an interesting question on its own. Naming ships mostly, as ships never really had the liberty to be more than just predetermined names.

3. Could we transfer our old Potco pirates over to this newly-built game? (Just kidding ... but I'd really like to know the answer ;) )

Now wouldn't that be something if we could, eh? Though at the same time would not be the same if another remake does become successful.

.

For transferring pirates, I think it would be cool if they had a suggestion box for the return of the pirates we spent hours on trying to level. It would be nice for those who sign on the game early should get 2 free tickets to max level (50, or 60 since the max level change might not be apparent in the new game) and you can custom some of the old pirates you had back when potco was running. All that time leveling and you have to start over lol. Plus it could help new comers learn the game better with some of the old max players around. Though I do want to start some new characters, I think this feature would rub everyone the right way lol ;D

No Sadly another remake can't transfer our old pirates back on another remake. TTR Tried the same thing, to transfer their old toons to TTR, but they couldnt do it.
You are gonna have to start from scratch again, but dont worry thats give you something to do if your old pirate was already Mastered. :p
