Its just a better game - indeed its been around longer, but they have had several expansions, they offer players gifts on toon birthdays - special events - inventory system.
AND we found that the new game is many MANY adults, and many more openly polite players - just standing around at a main city going through inventory netted us several 'unsolicited' weapon and item gifts from higher level players. They come over, and initiate a trade to GIFT you items you can use that are better quality than anything available at your level, or worth more gold to sell. Just to be kind. Guild halls, PVP, great avatars and emotes.
After seeing this, I DO believe D is at risk of Pirates bottoming out if they dont do something soon. We already decided to let our memberships go in April when renewal comes around. =( There is simply NOTHING to do, and the game is filled with childish, rude kids, and unfortunately many childish adults. Sad to say, the GM's several times have 'quashed' the Kracken in game, saying it doesnt, and wont exist and it was simply a rumor.

Um.... you are an adult and POTCO is a kids game. So ' huge maps, WAY more quests, more things to accomplish, more skill involved = less button mashing' isn't going to work in a game aimed at children ages 10+
I think thats partly what us adults fail to remember. It's a kids game, designed primarily for kids to play.
Personally I am happy with what I get for my money, and coupled with the great range of friends I have made since joining the game, it still gives me a lot of fun.
The game may be filled with childish, rude kids or childish adults but as I said it is a childs game.
You say the GM's have 'quashed' the kraken in game a few times yet Bonnie O'ailey said the following....
The rumour it seems is that the kraken will be making an appearance.
Again as I have said before I think they will use Shamus for St Patricks day in March and then hit us with a really big update. Pure speculation, just my ten pence worth. lol
