Flying Lab Software has sent word that their critically acclaimed massively multiplayer online game, Pirates of the Burning Sea, has moved to the free-to-play format.

This means that you can download and play the game now for free. However, certain premium contents will only be available for purchase at the in-game store called Treasure Aisle, or through a Captain's Club membership.

Captain’s Club membership will set you back US US$ 14.99 per month (plus applicable taxes), and offer exciting benefits. Captain’s Club members receive more character slots, a 20% discount from the Treasure Aisle, automatic access to premium content, 10% bonus to experience and loot, automatic ship insurance, plus a variety of other exciting account perks.

New content available for purchase in the Treasure Aisle store includes:

Lieutenant Commissions – NPC allies that can accompany you on your missions and fight by your side!
Pets – Animal companions that follow your on your adventures. These include a monkey, a pig, a scorpion, and a chicken!
Treasure Hunts – Can you follow the map to find the buried treasure? X marks the spot!
Account upgrades, buffs, clothing, and more!

As stated by SEO before, current "subscriber on a monthly, 3 month, 6 month or 12 month subscription plan* that will continue to be in effect after the game goes free to play, your current subscription will continue at the same price until it expires, and you will automatically go from being a PotBS subscriber to becoming a member of the Captain’s Club. As an active member of the Captain’s Club with an account in good standing, you will have access to certain premium content, features and discounts that are unavailable to non-members."

"After your current subscription plan expires, you will automatically become a Premium Player and can play without paying a monthly subscription fee, but will lose access to Captain’s Club premium content, features, and discounts (which may be available for purchase from Treasure Aisle, the in-game store), unless and until you log into your Station Account to change your preferences to become a Captain’s Club member at a cost of $14.99 per month (plus applicable taxes). You can change your preferences before your current subscription plan expires, or you can wait until after your current subscription plan expires," SEO added.

Station Access subscriber on the other hand with an account in good standing when PotBS goes free to play, will automatically become a Captain’s Club member, and will continue to pay their regular monthly Station Access fee unless or until you cancel the subscription. If you decide to cancel your Station Account, you will become a Premium Player.

If you are a former subscriber of the game and your account was not banned or terminated, the first time you log into the game after it goes free to play, you will automatically be a Premium Player, and will receive access to the certain premium content and features at no cost. You can become a Captain’s Club member at any time by joining the Captain’s Club at US$ 14.99 per month (plus applicable taxes).
