View Full Version : Can't Trade Pirate Pin...Did you stock up?
DR.Rob 08-02-2005, 02:41 PM hi all, just cruising through the guest rooms and someone asked if anyone had a pirate pin for trade, i have two so i traded her, went ot click on pirate pin and it says that this item is not for trade! Ut-Oh, hope you all used your mules to get some lol - guitarboss
Nwahs 08-02-2005, 02:54 PM hmm i wonder why maybe they switched out pirate for Storm or Treasure magic? (just a guess)
DR.Rob 08-02-2005, 02:55 PM yea thats a point? do u want to meet up and try it? im guitarboss, im in my room
heelflip 08-02-2005, 02:56 PM 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?
DR.Rob 08-02-2005, 02:57 PM lol oh yea, maybe they are going ot do this to each one so the ppl with the burried in treasure pin can now get the cursed storm etc?
darthmatt 08-02-2005, 03:35 PM I tried to trade pirate just now and it didnt work at first i thought the trading was messed up then when i exit it said "this item cant be offered"
DR.Rob 08-02-2005, 03:37 PM yea i know i started a post a min ago lol, its anoying we can't trade it
Patel 08-02-2005, 04:10 PM Pirate pin not tradeable anymore!
twasbrilig 08-02-2005, 04:16 PM I can confirm that, just tried and they are no longer tradable. Any word on if they are still combinable though?
darthmatt 08-02-2005, 04:27 PM at least i have 11
MissAmber 08-02-2005, 04:43 PM I'm so happy they are not trade-able anymore!!! No more anoying people offering 10 pirate pins for my teleport pin! It's not like they were ever gonna get it for that..
who ho party they are now rare kind of
Emma650560 08-02-2005, 05:08 PM how do i get one will u pls help me
Jaina 08-02-2005, 05:12 PM 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:
it's a good thing i just got my 5 star pirate pin.
Califgirl 08-03-2005, 02:46 AM I wonder if they did this so people couldn't clone as easily. I think cloning was messing up the website server.
Trader 08-03-2005, 05:50 PM Good thing I have 3 5 star pirate pins and 1 of 3
MissSwann 08-04-2005, 01:57 AM 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
MrGenie 08-04-2005, 02:00 AM 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.
figmentisback 08-04-2005, 02:06 AM 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...
Jaina 08-04-2005, 04:05 PM 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. :(
:mickey2:
figmentisback 08-04-2005, 04:59 PM maybe someday.... I know i don't have cursed storm...
Xiris 08-04-2005, 05:00 PM This is what a VMK addict would complain about :)
RevolutionMan 08-04-2005, 05:05 PM 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.
connorsdad 08-05-2005, 09:23 PM does anyone know if you can trade cursed storm pin now. i saw someone with two of them and with the code being one time use i was wondering how she got two..
.:Adam:. 08-06-2005, 10:49 AM So if we cant trade magic pins, how are we going to get more stars on the pins?
