December 2013 promotion
Yeti Box Promotion
During the Yeti Box Promotion, players will receive a "mystery box" gift with purchases of $9.99 or more made between 3:00 PM PST December 23rd, 2013 and 3:00 PM PST January 3rd, 2014. This promotion is open to players using whichever payment method they prefer (including credit card, Paypal, and PayByCash, and checks and money orders).

Your mystery gift will be redeemable on any one pirate associated with your account. If you made your qualifying purchase while logged in to the game, you may need to log out and back on again for it to appear. Available mystery gift items include...
- Yeti Pets
- Ice Blue Chromas
- Yeti Dolls
- Holiday Favors
- Winter Trinkets

- Yeti Fur Colors: White, Pale Silver, Silver, Cream, Grey, Light Blue
