Keep To The Code

Aye, Pirates we be, but we still must live by the code, and by code we mean the Pirates Online Code of Conduct.

These simple ground rules help protect all Pirates. With the code in mind, here are a few tips to keep your account in good standing:

Being rude or harassing other players is not only disrespectful to your fellow Pirates, but against the Pirates Online Code of Conduct and could get removed from the game permanently. Treat your fellow Pirates as you would like to be treated.
Although our dictionary does not allow it, bad language is never acceptable in Pirates Online. Using sound alike words in place of an actual word (for bad language) is just as bad and could also get you removed from the game.
Speaking of code, also remember, modifying or hacking the game is never allowed. Any use of a third party program that modifies the game or modifying the code yourself will result in your account being permanently terminated.
Never reveal your personal information. We don't allow Pirates to say numbers for a reason. Revealing your real name, phone number, address, email or password is not only not safe, but could get you removed from the game.

Read the Code of Conduct - protect yourself and your account.

New Padres Del Fuego and Other Updates -- Now Live!

Join other Pirates right now as they explore the entirely NEW Padres Del Fuego! The island was redesigned to address performance issues many of our players were having. In addition to the island redesign, we also added other improvements: The Reputation Meter now has progress indicators so you can tell how much more experience you need to gain before you level up.
Completed Quests now display your reward after completion, no more wondering what you received or if you properly completed the Quest.
Plus, the ESC key will now bring up a menu to exit the game. Click here for a list of all the improvements.

What do you think of the new Padres and the other updates? Have you had a chance to tour the new town? Tell us what you think! As with any new update, there may be bugs or issues. If you see any problems, report them to us. We will work quickly to fix these issues.
