I love a good story, I do like to follow along with the storyline/lore.
I can enjoy folks following along with it in good spirit, and taking it for what it is.
What tends to bother me, is that some do not realize that not all members take things for the spirit in which they are intended, and will take a statement claiming there could be terrible consequences for doing these quests to heart.
Storyline wise: Rott is untrustworthy, he and his crew are definately up to no good and are likely to be the catalyst of the new/upcoming content story line as it continues.
Game wise: Without providing us pirates with any advance knowledge of the reprecussions of making the decision wether to do these quests or not, they cannot penalize any of the players for having performed these quests. Now some will say weve gotten some notice, but this is through private channels, special events/gatherings, that although perhaps available to public, were not announced publicly (ie on POTCOs website) to give everyone a chance to follow through. Even these GM visits of Capt. Walter, Rott, Etc in the live game are not being advertised on the site to be enjoyed (or taken into consideration) by everyone.
Have fun with it everyone, that is the main purpose for it all!!!
Added: And they still may announce more info on this on their main site. Full of surprises they are. Just wish they are all pleasant ones.
