My personal opinion of POTCO is not one I think the devs want to hear... or read.

I've played toontown for seven years, and in those seven years content doesn't drop out of the sky like rain. It's not one update right after another, but it's enough to keep me in the game and entertained. They tried hard putting out a major update at least every year, and they did.

POTCO, on the other hand, has not shown this much work. The only really major updates have been extra weapons and SvS. New caves and islands DON'T count and shouldn't count because they should have been here from the start if they were going to change them anyways. Them changing the islands is probably because they wanted to release before POTBS.

POTBS is a rip off of POTCO, IMO. The combat stinks, the sailing stinks, and the graphics are only ok. POTCO delivers much more as far as graphics, sailing, combat, etc... However, POTBS delivers more islands, area, quests, etc...

POTCO could have been twice as good as it is now, but Disney forced the developers to rush to release before them, and that's obvious. I have nothing against the developers, but I have everything against Disney for pushing these guys past their limit. They can't deliver what the players what because the staff is small. Most games like WOW has staff member numbers over 100 just for developing. POTCO has around 18 developers, and that's it. They cover animation, modeling, scription, fixing bugs, putting every aspect of the game, etc...

This game had potential, and still has potential, but it's up to the developers to release a second story quest, new weapons, and more area(I.E. islands) before the end of this year. This game will not survive if the second story quest isn't released before or during the summer. That's my obvservation, but they're taking way longer than toontown.

Yes, I'm comparing games that are much different in age, simply because it didn't take toontown two and a half years to come out with something new.

I feel sorry for this game, because it can be great, but Disney is too lazy to spend a great amount of money on a game that could make them millions over time.

P.S. Not sure if I was trolling or not, but if I did I'm very sorry.
