Royal Pains was a crew on the Hunter Ocean. It has been disbanded.

Captain Jessroxursox was the founder of Royal Pains. This was the first time Jessroxursox has ever been a captain of a crew, and the idea excited her. After she had gained enough PoE and doubloons, Jessroxursox and her closest friends, Grandpamilde and Peacemasta, spent a few days on deciding what the name would be. They all came up with different names they liked, but Jess, being the captain, had the final decision. Royally Painful, Swabbies at Sea, Infamous Glory, Sabotage, Claustrophobia (Gramps' favorite), Imperial Viciousness, Mischievious Pirates, and Twilight (Gramps' least favorite) were all random names that Jess has brainstormed. Originally, Jess had planned to name the crew Twilight, but to Grandpamilde's objection, decided to name it something else. Peacemasta didn't like the name Royally Painful, but after a week of deciding, Jessroxursox finally picked Royally Painful, but shortened it down to Royal Pains.

Royal Pains had finally set sail! The crew's only boat was named Modest Mackerel, which was Jessroxursox's own. Blue and green, the ship sailed proudly, although the crew's colors were black and maroon. Pillages happened almost every day, either run by Peacemasta or Jessroxursox, Grandpamilde assisting. This resulted in finding Royal Pains' friendly faces, including Tazta, Captnblue, Zackattakluv, and many others.

Once the crew had reached a high enough fame to join a flag, the first was The Continuum. After being there for a while with some of her old flag friends, she had been promoted to Titled Member. This was when Royal Pains was at its best. The crew participated in flag pillages and blockades. Later on, Jessroxursox was tired of being just a plain old TM, and was looking around for a flag she could be in where she could be princess, or maybe even queen. In August, Royal Pains found its way to Zombie Slayers, where Jess was content with her flag ranking.

When Jessroxursox disappeared in December, the crew merged with Zombies of Fury. It wasn't much of a loss. When Royal Pains joined Zombie Slayers, the crew slowly started to die out. People were starting to go dormant, people were leaving, and officers didn't want to pillage. The crew was believed to have a total of four active members when merged with Zombies of Fury.

Royal Pains wasn't the biggest crew, or the best, but each crew member recieved a bit of joy when becoming a part of it.
