''Yohoho! Puzzle Pirates'' is a massively multiplayer online game developed by Three Rings Design, a company acquired by Sega Sammy Holdings in 2011. The player takes the role of a pirate, adventuring on the high seas and pillaging money ("pieces of eight") from roaming enemy ships (human or computer-controlled). The mechanics of ''Puzzle Pirates'' are driven by puzzles. For example, to effectively sail a ship, players must play puzzle games representing work at the sails for speed, pumping bilge water to remove it from the ship, and carpentry to fix any damage the ship may take. ''Puzzle Pirates'' is open-ended and community-driven. Over time, pirates can join a crew, progress in rank within that crew, buy and run sailing vessels and shoppes, and perhaps even become captain of a crew, royalty within a flag (an alliance of crews), or governor of an island. Islands are governed and shoppes are managed exclusively by players. From time to time, players are also called upon to help expand the game, whether it be new puzzles (developed on Game Gardens), island objects to be used on new oceans (servers), or artwork used for a variety of purposes in-game. Players are encouraged by Three Rings to use pirate-themed words and phrases such as "Yarr!" and "Ahoy there, matey!" instead of "Hi", etc. and Ocean Masters - the moderators of Puzzle Pirates - use these phrases and more. The tips which appear in the game's News, which is updated regularly, use terms such as "Jackanapes". As of December 2008, there are 4 million pirates registered to the game.〔(PuzzlePirates.com - 4 million registered pirates )〕 On August 31, 2011, the game was made free-to-play on Steam. Support for an iPad platform was developed and released in 2013. Three Rings later announced the removal of the iPad application and ceased support of the platform in July, 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://blog.puzzlepirates.com/spyglass/entry/sun_sets_on_the_ipad )〕 == Oceans and payment methods == Players are able to play most of Puzzle Pirates for free. Payment methods differ, however, depending on the type of ocean. If playing on a doubloon ocean, one will have to pay doubloons as well as PoE (Pieces of Eight, the primary form of currency used in-game.) On subscription oceans one only requires Pieces of Eight for in-game purchases. For example: a present may cost 5 doubloons and 5,000 PoE on a doubloon ocean but only 5,000 PoE on a subscription ocean. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Puzzle Pirates」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
