I agree, I've also seen a great point that the adults are the ones who are paying for the game. If the adult is the one paying for it then you know what they must even trust their children on the internet. Adults aren't going to pay for it if they think their kids are going to go on there and start cyber dating with someone who plays the game. Taking away the freedom of the players makes the game less fun to play because you are to busy watching what you say.

Guess what watching what your saying can some times make it SO hard when you are trying to get someones attention.

There are a handful of adults who are unaware of how games work like this at times. So you saying Hey Kat Wildhawk want to join my crew? It may take them 2 or 3 seconds for it to click you mean them, once that clicks communication is simple. But people who are use to hearing their names will listen to their name. If it's Amanda and you can't say that in the game its self well now that just makes it harder. And for a group of people who are friends OUT side of this game and play together would refer to each other by their true names just to make their lives easier.

Yet with all these easy ways for the players to play the game, Disney is making it harder on them I believe you should either do one of two things, take away the lame ruling on information giving, or make an adult server. At least the adult server you know who is the one giving out the information and you don't need to smack their hand and say tsk tsk. Come on we are the Adults we don't need to be scolded!

i have a ton of adult friends in the game but i respect them if all kids would back off and respect the adults we would have no need for shuch a thing as a speacl chat but yes it is anoying when you can'nt tell your guild their web page i have one awnser for it ever see a + sign next to the chat box ?? click it and it turns said filter off

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS TO ME. of course, we've all learned to deal with it, but in a game of half or mostly adults, something seriously has to give. adult servers would be a dream come true... assuming we could say what we want. sheesh......

there are a ton of words that wont show up when the filter is off. considering that it is mostly adults on this thread, i think its pretty safe to say that 1- we KNOW what safe chat is and 2- we dont have it on.

Someone compared the Disney Pirates Online website to adult sites, above. Their point was that the adult sites have fairly reliable ways of discerning ages. I disagree with that comparison. From a legal standpoint, the Disney corporation is child-oriented. While their entertainment covers families, their target audience is still primarily minors. There is no way to compare Disney to an adult site: the target audience is different. That alone, prevents Disney from using the exact same methods as these sites.

As the game is set up now, it defends adults from false accusations and children from predators.

The notion of having adult-only POTCO servers, is as absurd as the notion of having an adult-only club open in the middle of Disneyland. Doesn't matter whether or not there is customer demand for it; the legalities of the situation prevent it.

I agree with Edward, or at least with what he posted above.

Funny, I'm not sure I agree with the watered-down edited version of my post. Typical for these forums, though. "Adult-only" does not convey what I wrote. *sigh*

Edit: Actually a pretty enormous difference between a normal "adult-only" establishment, such as a place that serves rum, that I was directly refuting.

:buds:
well Walt Disney World USED to take adults into considderation..untill they closed down Pleasure Island last september. =(

always wanted to go to Disney World..and that was one of the many reasons! i heard Pleasure Island was pretty cool... guess that's out now!

this whole goodie goodie family friendly thing is starting to bum me out...lol...

ah well.:piratetongueor4:

There are pros and cons to this subject. This is a family site. I understand as adults we need us time. However, I don't know about you, I am trying to promote and enjoying something with my kids that we can do together. My son is excited that he gets to play pirates with his mom. That is totally cool to him. Personally, and with what i have seen, Not all adults want to hear adult convo or swearing, either. It only adds to drama that we don't need or trying to avoid. We have enough in our own lives that we don't need to add more. We adults already have a gutter mind, should we really be adding more into the game?

Well, the comparison I made in my post was not to a bar. Apparently, what I said, cannot be named here. As edited, my post above doesn't make much sense now, without that exotic analogy. (Well, the analogy wasn't exotic, the type of club named was.) The other edits to my post, means it still doesn't make sense.

I totally agree.

I agree 110% Even though im not an adult, Adults should shoould get their own server(s)

with the new chat features eliminating alot from "plus chat" is there really a need for adult servers now? And Pleasure island was very cool used to go alot when I was living in FL.

I think there is still a lot of reason to have adult servers. The new chat feature only eliminated a portion of the need.

Some of these kids are more potty-mouthed than some of the guys I served with in the USN. But that doesn't mean they are mature enough to have an adult oriented conversation (not necessarily sexual, explicit, or otherwise lewd). I'd still like to have an ocean (server) where I "know" that the pirates are all over 18.

I totally agree! I may not be eighteen but I think while coming across this that noone my age can hold a conversation with me, and that would help the people who are like me who can hold a conversation with an adult. Half the people at my school dont like me because I want to talk about something other then hot girls, and cars. I like living life I dont like watching it, and if someone like the guy who posted this thread could help I totally agree. Thanks anyone who is like me, and agree's.

True....but if they were to implement such a thing, how does adding something with the word "adult" attached reflect on the Disney name? I think Disney would take some serious HEAT for adding anything exclusive to adults. When you think Disney you typically think parks, toys and well.....kids. I agree there are teens and kids in the game that talk some serious trash which is completely uncalled for....but that is another story entirely.
