Millions of players? Yeah right. Not even a significant fraction of a million, including basics.

Edit: Let me rephrase that. My estimate is that there are far less than 10k active players. Please prove me wrong.

If ya think this game fails so much, then do ya mind me asking why you are posting here? I mean really, c'mon! It obviously seems that you still enjoy to play this game unless what you say is really the truth and that you do not like the path that the disney creators have chosen.

To me, the new potions are fine, but it makes the game seem a little un-real. Also, I dont really see the purpose of the potions such as the farting, burping, changing colors e.t.c... Im guessing they added this to get a few laughs? But Im pretty sure that after awhile alot of people will be complaining that these potions seem disgusting/rude/annoying. Its like a style thats popular then after a few months, you never see it again.

Please prove yourself right, first.

Toontown has gained over 50 million registered users since 2002. With only two to three servers a day that may not seem true, but it is. It's on the toontown fact sheet on the Disney web site.

First, we have no idea how many players make a full server. Second, there is no exact amount of players that Disney has given us for pirates online. We don't know the amount, and anyone claiming to be right is... well, of course lying.

I assumed it was millions because if toontown has over 50 million in 8 years, we can only assume the name "Pirates Online" has gained at least 2 million by now. How many are active right now? No one knows. That's impossible to know unless the POTCO staff gives us the recorded amount.

Please back yourself up with some satistics, straight from Disney themselves.

But the game is not going to die. The name itself brings in players, and once Disney gets their act together more players will be coming in. Just need a second story quest to keep us busy.

Ill disagree - Im playing an active game. Last night, NO ACTIVITY AT ALL other than a few kids farting. Lovely content Disney.

One day of inactivity doesn't show for a years of complete activity.

And by the way, the first three oceans were completely full yesterday, and today, so I don't see how that's inactivity, especially when the majority of oceans were ideal)

Used to be pretty active at all hours....

And the farts become unbearable to an adult player after about 10 minutes.
Wish I could say I missed it - and I can tell you, I have many reasons to love this game, I really TRULY loved playing at one point! I met my now husband there, and we were the best of friends and playing partners at one point on pirates... but now, we can't stand it. (As I said, the fart tonics, and the silly stuff with no real content killed the game for us, and for many others.)

We play Guild Wars now - with MANY MANY other ex pirates - you'd be surprised exactly how many moved there. No monthly fees, WAY WAY more to do, and a challenge for all ages. Just good fun. I cant pay for fart tonics. =P

Actually POTCO has 3 million accounts. I made a new pirate, did 1 kill, checked my rankings in Cannons of the Deep, and found out that I was 3 million and something. However, it might just be the number of pirates not accounts. And yes, alot of players will flock into the game once POTC4 releases, and now itself with the recent updates im seeing HUNDREDS of old players coming back. If I were to estimate, I'd say that there are 25-50k Unlimited accounts in the game.

people really need to get over the fart potions. It's not THAT big of a deal.

Midhav 05-20-2010 03:58 PM

Yea Will. Just ignore says I. When I get Unlimited, I will NOT use such potions as I feel it is a disgrace to pirates. All the hype about potions will pass on with the next update and people will enjoy it genuinely. When the Invasions came, people were criticizing it saying that it was fun at first and then boring, now they enjoy it as a regular game feature that comes when it has to.

:cat-ani:For publicity purposes, computer game sites call all people that make an account and use it for a few minutes as users... it is a marketing trick.
