5 ThunderGodGarfield Members 64 posts 1,591 battles Report post #1 Posted June 26, 2016 Hi, saw there was a port slot sale in late may, before I started playing. Was wondering if there is a way to acquire more slots without needing purchases? Ive been entering contests, but have not had much luck. So, wondering if there is a way to earn slots? Would love if they implemented some kind of login bonus of like 10 doubloons, because then I could save up. I like the game, but just have to operate on a budget :/ Thanks 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There might be some event or contest where you can win doubloons happening around the 4th, but I can't guarantee anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But, 500 doubloons would get you a port slot plus a few to spare and cost less than $3 if you can't afford that you probably shouldn't have bought a PC.

In the long run, probably 6-7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember when a good MMO game cost $2.00 an hour... an hour.. to play. Just because you can play for free, doesn't mean you have to play for free. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's the way to go with the "World of _____" titles, there are no freebees. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, it must be really nice to be able to buy popcorn and see a movie in theatres - let alone the luxury of being able to afford a $2 an hour game. Some of us, however, actually have to live on a budget. In the future, yes I will probably be able to afford these things, but for the time being I am simply looking for a way to enjoy as many aspects of this game as I can. Thanks for your thoughtful and helpful post. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
