I said it before, and I'll say it again, new updates WILL come.

Yes, I've only been playing here a month. That said I have been playing on Pixie Hollow, (yes, I can hear you pirates hissing, I play there very little now though.) since it went Beta back in October. I've learned a few things from the Hollow's update cycles.

First, over the course of the now almost 10 months the Hollow has been open it's seen massive changes. They were NOT all spread out. There was a long lag there between about February and July first where almost nothing was going on. People started leaving, claiming it was dying out. (Sound familiar?) Over on POF we had a saying for D's response. S.O.O.N. Soon Or Otherwise Never. They'd say new stuff coming soon and it seemed it never did. Then June 29th the Hollow shut down for 16 hours and got an update of epic proportions. Doesn't it make sense they'd do it similarly here?

Second, when I first started paying here I had to call member services. I asked flat out, are you guys letting pirates go. There seems to be a lot of people saying it's dying due to lack of new content. I was told, Yes, new stuff is coming. The longer it takes between updates the bigger the update will be. (This is almost a direct quote thank you.)

Third, so the movie isn't coming out when planned. That only gives D MORE of a reason to keep POTCO going. How else will they keep interest in the movie high? By keeping the game running.

I'll be the first to tell you I don't get how test works, but that there is anything at all there is a good sign. Just before the major update in the Hollow they very quietly released a minor new mini game to the mix. Then BOOM, massive update! Don't hold your breath yet, but I'd say it's time to start crossing fingers again here people.
