I also am thinking that pirates of the burning sea will be better than pirates of the caribbean. I have several reasons to support my decision. If you look at many different mmorpg comparison sites, potbs has a lot more hype than potco. The thing that majorly draws me away from potco is seeing what disney has done with Toontown. Toontown has been out for hmm about 8 years now?And still no significant additions? Now you might be think that cashbot hq is major but its not much when compared to other games. There have been no new expansions to Toontown and the game mechanics have remained the same and the game is just getting boring due to disney's lack of providing a "major" update. Im talking about a update where you could be 200 laff and there would be a whole new world, thats about where they should be at with about 8 years of production on Toontown. Take World of Warcraft for an example, I got bored of it and no longer played it, but Blizzard makes a major attempt at keeping players subscribed to it with patches about every month and the burning crusade expansion and the wrath of the lich king expansion comming soon, yet WoW has only been out for about 4 years since 2004. So previous experience with disney is drawing me away from it. I think PotBS has better graphics and since flying labs is a stand-alone company where they don't run several different services like disney does so I believe that they will be Similar to Blizzard, and be able to focus on their MMORPG. Now yes POTCO does a free limited version but I doubt it'll be worth playing, it'll be like toontown where you can play for a day and get so far that you must pay to progress. Im also going have to say that Disney's games are just too easy, you can max a toon in a week of non-stop play, its not very common to go sad at all because you can just alt+f4 in a vp/cfo/cj fight and get no punishment. I also HATE the fact and the fact I hate most, disney is aimed for the younger age group. I am older than 13 so I want something thats more hard-core and aimed for the older age group. Disney has also done terrible at giving their games replay value, yes you can create a new and try out that new gag that you didn't get with your other toon, but all toons are equal and its the same boring storyline(or is there a storyline of toontown?). You do the same tasks, you take the same path no matter what species or chose or anything, all toons are equal, theres no differrence in toons besides their looks. I also am looking for realistic graphics, NOT toontown graphics being put into a pirate game.
Now...My reply to your post:
I agree with several of the things you said except that ship boarding has been implemented into POTBS so thats not a pro of POTCO. PVP is a major role of mmorpg's games these days and that is also another thing that POTCO lacks. Yes you can duel players but whats the point?Theres no fun in that. Toontown has NO pvp which is bad.
Well after all of my negative thoughts of Disney...There is one major thing that I like about disney is their ability to get you hooked to the game quickly and make you want to be the best character in the game which keeps me playing toontown
