If you are unable to use the chat function It is possible that your account does not have Filtered Text Chat enabled. Accounts set up as over age 13 players are able to use the Filtered Text Chat.

If you have an account that is over age 13 and can still not chat, you might need to enable the feature. To enable Filtered Text Chat you must login to Pirate101.com and select "My Accounts". Under the "Parental Controls" tab, login with your master password and select the level of chat you desire for the selected account. The selected account is highlighted in a yellow box to the left of the chat options.

Filtered Text Chat for players with under age 13 accounts can only be turned on by a parent/guardian over the age of 18. The parent/guardian must validate his/her age by buying a Membership or Crowns with a valid credit card.

Open Chat is for Members over age 18. The player must validate his/her age by buying a Membership with a valid credit card.
