There is a question at Talk:Secondary color that I asked a while ago that still hasn't been answered. Any comments on what to do at either this article or the Secondary color article?? 66.245.71.17 02:16, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Of the other people reading/working on this, who thinks a list of the islands would be a good idea? Especially given the numerous links to Greek mythology and whatnot.
(For instance, had I not happened upon its entry, how many players would know that lagniappe is even a word, never mind its meaning?) Azure Haights 05:43, Jan 25, 2005 (UTC)
Is that why Puzzle Pirates featured in the PoCap games website? Because their games are similar to PopCaps' games? I guess it is. Ok, now I am sounding like an idiot. But Puzzle Pirates is awesome, way better than PopCap games. Who created Puzzle Pirates? My username on Puzzle Pirates is also Hastalavista. Hey to all my friends on Puzzle Pirates!

On a side note as an avid Ice tester *and* a person who constantly searches through the game files, Fisticuffs is Boxing. Not two separate games. Also, not too many people are familiar with the YPPedia (YPP wiki), mayhaps we should include a little info on how prospective players would be able to find help? – Sivius TALK 23:50, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
I added some information, such as the fact that shipyards produce bludgeons and that familiars never decay. ~Remalle
Does this really belong in this article? It isn't anything to do with Puzzle Pirates, other than the little bit about games being easily portable into Puzzle Pirates. Adrian 04:07, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
As of the move from Three Rings to Grey Havens, this site is down. SnivyFan1995 ( talk) 17:29, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
Fairly sure the YPPedia fits in Category:Computer_and_video_game_wikis, but as it doesn't have a seperate article, it can't be listed there despite being entirely relevant to the category and potentially useful. - Heartofgoldfish 23:04, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
Pirate badges are mentioned under the Navigation puzzle, but there's no explanation on how to get them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.80.167.6 ( talk • contribs)
A pirate badge isn't earned, rather, it is bought with one doubloon. It's to say that you've payed the Ringers (or else bought from someone else who's payed them). -- Remalle 17:41, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
i think it should be mentions that there strict banning rules get your computer banned if your sibling/ anyone other gets banned on you computer. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.60.227.148 ( talk • contribs) .
The new puzzle, called Treasure Haul, which is only accessible at certain points in blockades should be added in the page. I cant add this, as I don't know enough about the puzzle. XeroTheGreat 5 June 2007
Another new puzzle came out, Weaving, as another crafting puzzle. Someone should add that up, I could write about it but I'm no expert. To who corresponds ( talk) 00:33, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
I dont agree with having the usual requirments for the ranks i think they should be removed. -- Tjayh913 23:19, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
I've added pictures direct from Yppedia that depict the types of puzzles. One picture for each type of puzzle (multiplayer, crafting, and duty). Carousing puzzle pictures are obviously not needed. Please do not add more pictures as it is unneeded. I added three to simply show SOME of the puzzles. If someone is interested in the game they can go to the actual website and see all the puzzles. -- ZookPS3 17:05, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
In regards to Gamigo, there is mention of Three Rings' relationship with them, found on YPPedia - the claims mentioned there are that Gamigo was not keeping the game client up to par with the English servers, which led to the termination of their contract. Finally, I noticed that there are almost no citations whatsoever in this entire article - there should be. Puzzle Pirates is a popular enough game that references should not be hard to find. X-Kal ( talk) 07:01, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
I've opened up a discussion on the verifiability page
here so we can all see once and for all the official word on the forums...

i feel that there is a bit of a bias towards popcap in this article (repeated mention of their games as influence, blatant name dropping that i already removed [seriously, who would confuse a puzzle pirates puzzle called alchemistry with popcap's puzzle called alchemistry? people who aren't sure what page they're on. and they're beyond help anyway]). i realize that they and three rings have some sort of advertisement deal, but i do not think this should affect an encyclopedia page concerning their game. 71.134.232.194 ( talk) 22:28, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Is foraging considered a game? I know there's a control that lets pirates forage, if they have a labor badge. However, there's no puzzle associated with it. Is it considered a game in its own? Any thoughts? X-Kal ( talk) 23:35, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
This word does not belong in wikipedia as, well, it's not a word. It's informal and should be replaced. I am specifically discussing the section on crew rankings, although I haven't read the entire article. In fact, the whole section appears to be a single person's opinion, and should be rewritten or deleted. However, at the very least, the worst stat for statistic must go. 24.5.115.75 ( talk) 08:12, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
Random player here, just coming to say the Weaving puzzle has been launched and the article should be updated accordingly. -Anonymous —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.183.190.83 ( talk) 00:06, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
I agree, there should be a paragraph, I'm too lazy to write it now though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.84.217.166 ( talk • contribs)
Why is this game listed as an MMORPG? It clearly is not an RPG, anyone who has played it can tell you it is a massively multiplayer online puzzle game, not RPG. An RPG implies there is some kind of overall plot or story to be told, and this game, having the servers being roughly 80% player run, is clearly not an RPG. Is it lumped into the RPG genre because it is the only puzzle game to fit the MMO criteria? This should be fixed. Nokota ( talk) 21:02, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: page moved. Vegaswikian ( talk) 22:31, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
Yohoho! Puzzle Pirates →
Puzzle Pirates – Per
WP:COMMONNAME.
Three Rings Design, as well as the players, have long referred to this game simply as Puzzle Pirates, or PP, and the "Yohoho!" is only present in some places hardcoded into the Java client as a vestige. A redirect at the old location is sufficient. Invoking
WP:RM after a unilateral move was made and reverted this morning.
