For the past 2 nights I get lost connection over and over and over. It's making me crazy! It's not my internet, thats fine I checked it. I played wizard101 for 3 hours tonight not once did it occur. As soon as I get into Pirate101, I get lost connection. Is it the game? Is anyone else having these problems?

You'll want to contact support@pirate101.com if this problem persists. When you contact them, please provide as much detail as possible:

1. Confirm username (which account are you playing)
2. What area were you trying to access when this happened?
3. What time (approximately) was it?
4. Please attach game logs for further review (see below for more instructions).
5. Are you still having this trouble? If not, what occurred?

Instructions for sending game logs:
Use your email service to add an attachment. Drill down to the Pirate101 Folder then to the Bin Folder and the Log Folder then select "Captain_XXX.Log" (the highest numbered one or the most recently dated). Then just hit send!

If this is too large for your email server to attach or send, then open the game folder, go to the the bin folder again and locate the Captain.log. Right click on the log file and select Save as Zip (or similar wording - will vary depending on your specific operating system). Then, go back to your email and attach the newly zipped Captain.log.zip file.

I have figured out what the problem is, but have no answer to fix it. When my son connects his Xbox Live directly to the internet box, and does not just use wifi, I lose my connection to this game. It is only in this game that it occurs. Do you have any suggestions in how to remedy this, without me throwing away his Xbox

Don't throw it away! It may be how old your computer operation system is. I don't know for sure but have a computer tech figure it out and see why it's happening. If isn't that resort to give a relative location where ya live. If KI can't fix this then ya have to get a new computer and there's a computer contest runned by KI right now. You could enter that.

I have received these notices and been disconnected from the game on occasion.

Each time it has occurred I know for a fact its not my computer, or my internet connection (my friends talk on skype while we play, and it is never interrupted).

It could be some internet routing issues, but IMO some of the net code for pirates could still use some optimization.
