Ive played it, didnt get it, and quit after like 2 days. This was like a few years ago. Puzzle Pirates sucks, you get absolutely nothing with the free game, and it's not worth paying to get the extra crap anyway... :thumbdown: It does seem rather pointless when you look at it but I got addicted. Once you get into a crew and that and get your own ship it starts getting awesomer. And if you're on a doubloon world if you change your monies into doubloons you don't need to pay (though I did pay once or twice because I was too lazy to earn more myself :P) I just play now and again for the poker now :P i cant really say ive ever played puzzle pirates.... it seemed really stupid to me
