- Updated the gold box promotion to turn on at 10 AM Pirate Time, rather than midnight, and to last for 10 days rather than 14. On the 10th day, gold boxes will turn off at 3 PM Pirate Time.
- The amount of eights that pirates can wager will now be based on their puzzle experience. This applies to parlor games as well as direct challenges. If you're rated "Solid" or higher, there is no wager limit. Otherwise, the max wager limit is as follows:
