- - Suggestion for Adult Servers- LISTEN UP DISNEY GUYS!!! (lol) (https://www.piratesonlineforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4451)

Looking over this thread again, I can sorta see both sides of this. Zep brings up a good point - I have friends of all ages that I definitely want to keep playing with. That being said, splitting servers is honestly the least of my concerns with the game right now. I usually play on a quiet server with a few friends anyway.

I do however stand by what I've been saying about the chat system needing some refinement.

Making friends and having conversations is an important part of the game to many of us. Without the ability to talk to my friends about what I CHOOSE, I probably would have quit long ago.

You don't and shouldn't have to talk about your personal life in a game. I certainly wouldn't want to talk about my real life in a game.

If the game was made specifically for anything, it was made specifically for FAMILY. If it were made for kids, they would have had to remove alot of the content already in the game as some of the subject matter is not kid friendly. Think about it...

Who promotes gambling playing blackjack and poker to kids?
Who promotes kids making rum?

Have you taken a close look at the 'toons' in this game? Ever watch a girl pirates hips when they walk in the game? Have you read into the 100's of lines of story the slight innuedos suggesting adult subjects? (the thing here, is alot of kids just dont get them)

No, this is NOT designed strictly for kids.

No, sorry, you want a game made for kids that adults do play, try ToonTown.

Seems obvious to me that POTCO was designed to be enjoyed by the whole family. Adults that want to converse their adult talk while playing the game arent being adult enough to obtain easy to find alternatives that can work WITH the game (ie alternate chat/voice systems) allowing them to control their own communicative content.

Many guilds use voice servers these days, and they are cheaper than the game itself. Anyway, adult only servers just creates more logistic problems. I for one have younger friends I would like to continue to play with, and im sure there are many adult players that are in the same situation. We wouldnt want to have to make the choice of playing with our adult friends, or playing with our youthful friends. This also would simply encourage younger players to LIE about their ages, which already takes place as it is. No, adult only servers sound good to many, but it really hasnt been thought out by those that want them. If you want pursue adult behavior in your online gaming, play a game that allows it, and not a family based game.

Might as well start signing petitions for them to reshoot, and release an R/NC-17/X rated version of Pirates of the Caribbean movies... lol which makes no sense.

Ok first of all you need to change your perspective of what kids play.

Im only in my mid teens and I think a D average student in middle school can figure out alot of words in the game. Belive me kids play much worse game than this like Call Of Duty 4, Dead Space, and World Of Warcraft that shows blood and guts violence. As for saying that kids cant understand words in the game thats arrogant thinking because dont judge a book by its cover because like a said before alot of kids can understand what defeat means.

No offense to you im just saying you kinda have a wrong perspective of what kids cant understand and thinking that they still hang out at nick.com

Plus, the game is rated E10+ which means Yes, its desingned for kids and mid teens.

Discussing real life doesn't mean discussing PI. A friend was telling me yesterday about his son's baseball team doing well. Do you see a problem with that?

You have already stated elsewhere that

so with all due respect, no argument you may have regarding chatting in the game can be considered valid, in my opinion.

Not true, the rating means that it is SUITABLE for players 10+.
