Pirate101 is a pirate-themed massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) created by KingsIsle Entertainment. Players assume the role of heroic pirates who set out in search of the treasures of the "Spiral", the fictional universe used in another game by the same developers, Wizard101.
Players can complete quests, sail ships, befriend companions, and battle enemies in a turn-based combat system similar to that used in board games.
The fictional universe of the Spiral is divided into several worlds, each consisting of multiple areas. The game's content is divided into numerous "Books", which are further subdivided into individual "Chapters". Players may purchase access to all areas related to a given Chapter using "Crowns", the game's premium currency. Purchasing a membership grants unlimited access to all Chapters for a limited time. Upon character creation, players are given free access to "Introduction" and to "Prologue Part 1", the first Book.
As the player progresses, more areas become available. Currently, the maximum level a character can obtain is Level 70. The main storyline takes the player through Skull Island, Monquista, Valencia, Cool Ranch, MooShu, Marleybone, and Aquila and Valencia 2.
Side activities in the Spiral include Practice PvP (player versus player), Ranked PvP, a nautical gauntlet, training pets, pet sparring, and housing.
The game was assigned a rating of E10+ from the Entertainment Software Rating Board for crude humor and cartoon violence.
Pirate101 has several types of in-game characters. Two non-player characters (NPCs) in the game, Boochbeard and Gandry, serve as the player's guide to controlling the technical aspects of the game. Players can interact with, trade with, and obtain quests from enemies, hostile NPCs, and bosses. Companions can serve the player in combat and also provide comic relief during the story.
