I'm sure Disney will fix this, but, I wouldn't be TOO surprised if they didn't fix it JUST YET. They're probably gonna leave it in while they develop more stuff for the game, just to keep people from complaining about nothing to do at Lv50. If I'm wrong then, err... blame that guy over there.

Would be very nice if they would make fixing this a priority, it seems to cause alot of waves. Personally, considering that in all likelyhood any levels gained over the level cap of 50 will disappear when it is fixed.. its up to whoevers playing to how they want to play, as long as it doesnt effect the others. Now if its compounding player abilities giving unfair avantages in PVP/SVS environments, then it needs addressing even more quickly.

As for any 'expected' admiration or respect that these individuals breaking the level cap mark may expect for their feat? Throwin yer hat in the sand, and dancing round it is more likely to get my attention, and might even get a few pence for a mug O rum in that hat.

I checked the leaderboards again and there is a level 57! When will this madness end?!

I checked the leaderboards right now and she now has level 59... Sooner or later she will find all her hard work was for nothing, heh.

Lol
 

The best way to make this a non-issue is to just report it and move on. The more people make a fuss the more incentive there is for this sort of silliness. Let it play out then we can end this thread with a laugh.:laughks2:

If i had to start over and level 59 I would be mad. But I guess thats what you get for abusing a glitch.

lol! i hear ya! for awhile there I always thought, well, we're pirates, we are supposed to take advantage of loopholes and such untill they're fixed! i personally dont see a problem with this, because the point will be moot when micky gets it fixed. the thing i do have an issue with is that these things are reported on the leaderboards. that really is an unfair advantage.

Really?
 

Really? I see it as a good thing they are on the leader board. In game, only a small number of players might see this person and an even smaller number would report her because, as stated in posts, she is their friend. When this appears on the leader board, I bet a lot of players noticed and complained. You can't hide behind your friends goodwill when you put your name out there like that.

A reply from Disney about the leaderboard and over lvl 50 pirates
 

I sent a message about the leaderboards and the pirates over lvl 50.

See
 

See you can always count on Bruce the shark! WTG and thanks Maria for your
E-mail and posting the response. Maybe everyone can relax now and enjoy the
game again LOL

yw green. Hope its fixed soon.

I got the same e-mail just didn't post the responce. Glad to see they are fixing this.

@ Sven: The leaderboards can only take so much number counts per day. As far as enemies defeated goes, if someone gets over 35,000 enemies in one day, the data overload causes a crash. If someone were to actually rank, there's no way he/she can get over that amount in a 24 hour period (12AM PST - 11:59PM PST). I, as a former ranker, would know this.

@ Everyone else who may be concerned: Disney is well informed of this "glitch" and are working on possible ways to fix it. It is rumored that all of those who are above level 50 will be reverted back to level 50. I can't help but feel bad for all their "hard work".

There are ways to get to level 51 and up without glitching and/or speeding. You can simply rank. Plunder drops give off +25 notoriety rep as it always have. It's a GAME-side glitch that allows pirates to level up after enough notoriety rep has been accumulated. While some people may take advantage and exploit certain quests to level up this way, you can't overlook the fact that Disney forgot to cap the notoriety cap off well enough. In the past, I've ranked and recieved a plunder too many. Did I ever level past 40? Did any of the rankers level past 40? No. So don't solely blame the people who take time out of their days to get their levels up. Disney has it's share of faults in "glitches" and "bugs".

[Edit] The 35,000 enemies in one day is just a guess. I don't actually know the number it takes to crash the server. All I know is that it does. It has been tested before by someone who I shall not name.

That is what I got. I'm taking the screenie of the level 58 pirate and sending it to them.

She's level 61 now. Someone please tell her that she will be brought back down to fifty when they fix this.
