We are all as pirates between a rock and a hard place thats for sure... we're surrounded by the "D Navy and EITC Scum", we're losing pirates like there's no tomorrow, things look bleak for sure...

But...

This is when true pirates are supposed to shine through at their best! This is when pirates dig deep within their souls and they grab that last ounce of determination and rise to the challenge! We may be down - be we are not out!

Our efforts have been bits and pieces - but it is time for all of us to take the last stand and fight as one! Don't let what was and can still be a great game go down with the ship!

1) As Sarah has mentioned above, if your cancelling your subscription or leaving the game - don't just say gooodbye here - first go to their Grob Blog Link For The Latest Changes and fill in your thoughts! Then once you've done that - go right to their Contact Us Pages and send in your thoughts there as well! Every pirate here should be doing it! We've all done it in bits and pieces before... but its time for ALL to put the pressure on now!

2) Its time everyone to use the Report a Bug issues in game and make our stand in the game that we have had enough! They tried to hide it, but every player in game when you first log in should push their F7 Key on the keyboard - then click the Report a problem! EVERYTIME! Don't start doing a single thing until you report at least one issue today! They cannot ignore 1000's of daily report problems if every player out theri took 30 seconds when they first log in and submitted an issue - even if you submit the same on everyday! Tell them that you want PvP and SvS changes! Tell them you want cloaked ships fixed! Tell them something every day you log in!

Agreed! Until you get to going to Disney....

This is one of those things that you really don't know what its like until you're going through it. I was playing POTCO for well over a year and really, nothing has changed since that time. After mastering my first pirate within a few months, there isn't anything else left to do. A few things were added and a few minor improvements were made but really, its things that can be done in a month and things that lose their shine in a matter of weeks.

I still see bugs, glitches and exploits that are in the game that were around a year and a half ago. If they were there then and they are still there now even after so many bug reports sent in, even after so many e-mails sent in.... there is only so much we can do as players in this game. If Disney doesn't want to fix it, WHAT CAN WE DO?

Back when the new Port Royal came out, I came to find out that I had a chat glitch, along with another member on here, where if someone wasn't on our friends list we couldn't see what they were saying. All that was seen was "arrr," "yarrr," or "garrr." I sent in a countless number of bug reports, and a countless number of e-mails, and they had NEVER fixed it. The only workaround that I found for it was linked accounts. They ruined my fun I was having on the game and they made it seem like it was my fault that I had this new chat bug.

Going to Disney may help somewhat but it won't bring back those of us that quit. Compared to ALL of the other MMO's out there POTCO is lacking content BIG TIME. POTCO really was a great game, and it had potential but the devs are wasting their time focusing on new players coming to the game instead of taking the time to keep their long time players busy. The update that removed the linked accounts ruined the game for many and was the final straw.

I think it was Mr. Barty Foul himself that said this is what we asked for. Umm no it wasn't. We asked for a fix to get these little brats removed from the game for good. We did NOT ask for Disney to take away access from hundreds of families. Linked accounts were useful in getting one family all online at one time with ONE account. Disney is doing the best that they can to get more money from their players. A true sign that even that billion dollar company may be suffering in this economy. I still stand by my decision to quit the game and I'm sure I did many players a favor in doing so too

3) It is time for Guilds to put aside their petty difference! The main cause for such problems is because of lack of content, as before everything ran out I remember many guilds were as one! It is time to act as one again! Make friends with others in other guilds - so you will always have friends in game which you can contact or play with. Just because they are not in your guild - doesn't me we are not all pirates!

Speaking from experience, guild fueds can't just be dropped. All good things must come to an end and its a good thing that certain fights come about. You learn that your friends aren't really your friends when you need them. Guilds have been against guilds since I started playing a year ago. If it was there then it will be there now and it will be worse now. Guilds aren't what they used to be and these guildmasters (not ALL of them, just a select few ) aren't the greatest either. If that's from a lack of content in the game then that's a downright shame.

It is in these dark times we stand together as one - as if we are going down we will go down as one and not be picked off one-by-one, guild-by-guild...

Actions speak louder than words. It's easy to say, "Alright gang lets all stand together and fight em," but its not the same to actually do it.

If quitting is the only way to get a point across to Disney, then so be it. Even if they come out with a fix their long time players that they lost will not come back. They've done the best they can, in their eyes, well then I'm sure the rest of us that quit agree that we did the best that we can waiting when we shouldn't have to be. When I cancelled my account I sent in an e-mail. Its nearly two weeks later and I still have not heard a reply. If they don't care about a chat bug that they didn't bother fixing, and they didn't care about another player of many that was quitting, why should I or any of you for that matter care about them and their game?
