You can spend that on 1 XBOX 360 game and lunch.
I truly believe we will see many changes in 2009 and I will continue to support both the game and the POTC forum as much as possible. I’m Robert Darkskull the pirate, and I approve this message!

This is where it leaves the complaint department and becomes a serious issue.
I don't believe it to do with any other game whatsoever in comparison, but a fact people are leaving. So, if you would like to see every friend you have made in the game leave, feel free to never complain. As for me, I will push to keep people in the game. This is going to require complaints to give people things in the game to remain playing and enjoying it. The more complaints for the same thing by everyone, the better chance for it to maybe sink in.

I understand your view on many paying users leaving the game. However, user retention is something all games face for various reasons. As I stated, most of us (MYSELF INCLUDED) have complained and it appears some things are beginning to change. I can't even begin to place a number on the calls/emails Disney received that were voicing complaints. A major expansion is definitely something needed...no doubt. I have lost friends and guild members...some switched to basic access and others called it quits.
I'm trying to remain positive here and contribute in anyway possible to enhance the game play and keep everyone involved. Tossing in the towel is not my style. I'm certain Disney has a huge finance/accounting department providing statistics on profitability on a regular basis. They know how many long time users they have lost and how many new members they have gained. The intelligent thing to do after the expansion would be to reach out to those that did leave and offer them a special rate to reactivate their accounts. I encourage feedback (positive and negative), but it's all about how you deliver it. Are we finally being heard? I do believe so. Hang in there....
