Which game is this? Please enlighten us.

If so many of you hate the game so much, why are you still playing?

I myself am a fan of this game. To me, it can still be enjoyable. I am currently working on two other pirates, whose names are Spectra The Specter, and Werner Von Croy ( That should tell you that if you see them, don't act like a total jerk like a certain someone did ( Not mentioning names ) ). I just turned Lv50 last night on William Goldwalker, and I'm hoping to do the same with these pirates..... eventually.

Theres another base there missingout on. What about Fans of pirates of the Caribbean like myself here in europe?

Theve brought toontown and pixie hollow over here why not potco? And hey nelliy if you find a one time fee game let me know will ya?


I dont hate it... I LOVE IT!!! All im saying myself personally is there is massive room for improvement in some areas of the game

You can pay around two hundred and fifty dollars to play Star Trek Online forever.

This game has turned into a pirate simulator. Nelly that is a very good point. They will probably promise us the Kraken again, but I am not sure, because the other day I was at a gm event and asked "When will the Kraken come?". He whispered "Keep you eyes and ears peeled, the Kraken will come very soon" Lets hope hes not lying like last year.

And I'm not sure about this but, I haven't seen many people like level 7 and under. Anyone else notice that?

Yeah, but that doesn't include the first $50 access fee to even be allowed to load the launcher. LOTR online is like this, it used to have a lifetime subscription too. Personally I wouldn't do a lifetime even here on POTCO. I have several IDs and prefer to be able to pick which I want paid at any given time.

As for being embarrassed to play. Not a chance!! Everyone I know knows I not only play AND pay for Pirates, but also that I play in the Hollow. For the record, I'm over 30 with no kids. I play because I love the game, and I love the people. I've met some excellent friends on these games.

On updates. For the record I've heard rumors on all sorts of stuff, new weapons, new clothes, new quests, another not cap raise, gold cap raises, and the infamous Kracken. What will come will come. Would I like to see all of those things? Sure! Also I'd love guild halls, guild flags for your ship, pirate banks or gold repositories for guilds, and new levels of guild membership. I'd like to see many more tattoo and jewelery options. I'd like the ability to drag and drop as many tattoos as you want onto your pirate. Sort of create your own tattoo sleeves or back tattoos. I'd like to see necklaces and bracelets, with the ability for a pirate to wear as much jewelry as we want. Hello, pirate! Historically pirates would have wanted to show off their spoils. What good is plunder if you can't show it off?

The order I'd like to see all this in? First and fore most. A new story chapter. (Personally I couldn't care less if it includes the Kracken or not.) A gold cap raise coming with bigger wardrobe, tattoo and jewelry options, and more pages to hold it all. New weapons quests for when you hit weapons level 25 to go with an all new weapon type at level 40. The guild membership changes, halls, and repositories or at least a way to pass gold between pirates on your id from your login screen.

Will we see all that? I highly doubt any time soon. Some of it if ever. But I'll keep playing. I'll keep the faith.

Guild Wars - buy the software, and play the game online for good. =) I paid 19.99 for the main 'Guild Wars Prophecies' and once I finish all of this, Ill buy the expansions. But, the thing is, I don't HAVE to if I choose not to, and can continue playing as long as I want with no fee.

Hey Kelly, I'm playing Guild Wars Prophecies too, it's a cool game, with a lot of content and very not expensive at all and there are currently some cool events and other stuff...

Nitnek and Nelly see new thread under other games.

See, I play Pirates because it's a franchise that I love. I don't care about the real functionality of the game beyond it being playable, because I just love living and pirating in the world of Pirates of the Caribbean.

Are you kidding? there are dozens of them running around Tortuga every!

I, just like Captain, play this game because I like the movies.

I play the game cause i LOVE the movies myself and LOVE anything to do with pirates

I love the theme, love my toon, and have met some great people... but.... when you are level 50, it is NOT WORTH PAYING FOR ANY LONGER. We cant use the 'unlimited features' and Disney literally CONS us into paying to let us keep our pirates appearance and clothing as it is.

New quests? Try same old stuff as usual. This new quest was confirmed MORE OF THE SAME. Kill this, run here, sink that, come back. YAWN.

Disney is who is tanking this game. The quests in Guild Wars never get repetitive... they are unique, and fun. This week, had to raise spirits, recover and replace crystals, kill a HUGE assortment of bosses - with each having a different strategy needed to win - tame new animal companions, fight our own doppelganger - with winning a requirement! What fun.

Do I miss pirates? Not at all. Miss my toon, I love Nelly - but, I also love the ability to customize and build ARMOR and select my own weapon combinations in the new game.

Disney has to do something, or this game will be done quickly. Many people who play GW have been playing for 3+ years - everyone seems to leave POTCO after a year or two. No content. =(

I'm staying loyal to the game, because its fun. I don't know about you guys, but I take advantage of every little thing and expand on it, so I can keep myself occupied. I have great friends, a fantastic guild, and a wonderful game to play in.

Sorry to tell you this, but a lot of quests in all MMORPG's are like this. It doesn't depend on the quest, it depends on how you intrepret it. If you see it as "I gotta kill a few of these, go here, dig up this, and then go back," obviously its gonna be boring. But if you see it as how it was intended, like "I need to fight my way through Beckett's Quarry, head to Outcast Isle, dig up a ruby necklace, and head back to Joe Shmoe," then you might actually get excited by it a little more. At least, thats how I see it. Don't take a game as a chore, take it as an adventure.

I give you a simple task - sit on an Ideal server, on Port Royal, and count every low level basic you see. Chances are, if you sit there all day, you'll get anywhere from 25 to 125, maybe more. Then, multiply that by all the other Ideal/Full servers. You should get some number in to high hundreds or thousands. THATS how many new members this game gets every day.

POF is only a small portion of the pirates in POTCO. 1, maybe 2 pirates leave POF each day. And I'm sure theres plenty of other pirates elsewhere that are leaving also. But the point is, this game is growing more than it is shrinking. You have to have a wide spectrum, not a straight view.
