personally i think that it was just bug and even if you cant trade them why would you stock up your mules because its not like you going to trade them to anyone, am i right?

Go to the secret codes section of these forums. Use the codes. If you haven't ever gotten a pirate costume magic pin before, the code should get you one. If you got it and traded it away already, it sounds like you're out of luck. :mickey2:

I wonder if they did this so people couldn't clone as easily. I think cloning was messing up the website server.

Boy, I am glad I traded pins before today because I have a three star pirate pin so I'm satisfied with that. But what's next, non-tradeable ears! GASP!!! Not that it matters since I guard mine with my life. (jk I'm not that into it)

P.S. I used to be Elastigirl so it's the same person FYI

I talked to Yavn in the game last night, and it sounds like the original intention was that none of the three Kellogg's magic pins (Pirate, Cursed Storm, and Buried in Treasure) would be tradeable. So, as they see it, the Pirates magic pin had a bug allowing it to be traded, which has now been fixed. Basically, I think that means the Pirate magic pin will no longer be tradeable, unless their stance on this changes.

Unlike the other two Kellogg's codes, I think it actually desireable to have a five-star Pirate magic pin because the animation loops, but perhaps their deal with Kellogg's states that the only place you should be able to get these pins is from the codes, which are only available in specially-marked Kellogg's boxes (and, of course, the Internet...as has been discussed before, surely they could not have been so naive as to think these codes wouldn't be posted on the same day these boxes hit the store shelves!). So, I guess it makes sense to make it so you can't trade for these. I'm sorry for those of you who weren't able to get a five-star pirates pin already though and extend the sparkly animation.

wow.. so they fixed the bug.. and not only some of us who had something desirable enough to trade got 5 star pirates... also i think the recharge is shortened slightly.. or it was something i didn't notice between goofing off on VMK.. and reading posts on forums...

oh well... this somewhat limits on people trying to trade me the world to get inferno...

So what about those of us who used the codes when they were messed up? Will we -ever- get cursed storm? I really like it, and I'm afraid my main character will never have it. :(

I know whythe cloning problem it uses a lot of memory and can crash some people and the :CastMem: dont like it either. It is very annoying and VMK_Bingo said toreport it.
