Doubloon theft
I let somebody named Symphonia borrow 2 doubloons about a month ago. They said they would give them back as soon as possible but i checked and the last time they logged on was September 19th. Since they have not logged on for so long, they might have stopped playing puzzple pirates which means that I will never get my doubloons back. If you could do anything to help like giving me my two doubloons, i would be very happy. Sincerely, Sirfirebob

I don't really think that there is anything that you can do... Lending people things is based on trust, and if they have stopped playing, you can't get your doubloons back.

A Question About The Maps
I was just wonder if there was any printable maps for the Archipelago's for the Viridian Ocean. I was just wondering because trying to print the other maps for a referance is hard to get down to scale so it will fit and be able to print without it being printed on several sheet of paper.

 * Your account needs an email address associated with it. Also, once you enter one, an activation email will be sent to the account to verify that it is a valid email. However, such emails tend to be caught by spam filters. You may be able to force the activation email to be re-sent by changing the email (if one's already there). --Thunderbird 11:29, 9 October 2005 (PDT)

??? i try to activate it and go to this screen that sais unidentified id and nothing else ... i think it may be a bug
 * If you can log onto the wiki and log onto the game, you should be able to log onto the forum as they all use the same username/password. If you're really stuck, you could try making a new account to use for the forum only.

Bid/Paint question
ive placed a big at the Gaea Marketplace. My bid tickets have been filled for quite a while. Im having troubles finding how to deliver the items i bid on? and i ordered paint from a shop on Cnossos island. How do i recieve that too?
 * You must have a ship to be able to deliver paint and commodities bids, or you must be a Fleet Officer or higher in a crew. If neither of these fits, then you are unable to deliver the bid ticket or paint. I think there needs to be a warning when commodities are ordered or the market bidding screen is accessed for those who may be unable to use the items. However, you can sell the bid ticket to somebody who can use it. --Thunderbird 20:16, 19 October 2005 (PDT)

This is the new tempban system. When your temporary ban is over, you have to type out the unban condition listed into the window before you will be allowed back into the game. Temporary bans usually last from one day to one week. (I'll be updating the ban page with new info soonish, all you admins!) --Eurydice 12:26, 22 October 2005 (PDT)

account money transfer problem
I need to know why this happened and how to fix this when I logged in under fuzzyblaa100, account: Jacksparroe i had bought dubbloons yesterday i still had them and my server disconected I restarted the puzzle pirates game and decided to make a new charecter, I did so... i realized when i finished makeing the account that my new account: Vontreale... already had 1 dubbloon when it started, so i went back and checked Jacksparroe cause I knew that on none of my others, I had started out with so much "cash" (the dubbloon) now when i checked out jacksparroes account it was missing the dubbloon I had gotten. so i figured the dubblon somehow got put into the account i first logged into when my server went down...is this right? please help get my dubloon back where it was! thanks, -theo- Why dose this look funny? --Fuzzyblaa100 22:23, 26 October 2005 (PDT)


 * Doubloons are account-wide. Check out your doubloon history. It'll show you exactly what happened to the doubloon. --Thunderbird 22:34, 26 October 2005 (PDT)

I look like a bandit...
I recently logged on and I noticed that I had a mask on the same color as my bandana. I changed my bandana several times and it never disappeared, until I removed my bandana completely. Where did this mask come from and how did I inherrit it... Better Yet how do I get rid of it? Thank You! clitatious
 * The mask is part of the Halloween festival going on. It's based on what hat you're wearing at the time.  All you have to do to take it off is remove the bandana.  It will go back to normal after the holiday.--Gloraelin 23:09, October 26, 2005 (PDT)

Clear out both the account and password entries, try to log in, then close and re-launch the client and you'll be given the option to create a new account. This answer came from Lizthegrey's answer on the forums. Hope this helps! --Nickster 05:51, 30 October 2005 (PST)
