We do not need to be hostile here to anybody. If anybody is getting upset about this thread then also feel free to not read it or reply. Let's apply our "rules" equally.

That being said, while this is indeed a POTCO board, this is the Other Games subforum. While the OP may have become a bit hostile, the responses in themselves have also been hostile. If we are going to ask people to behave a particular way, then let's live up to that same standard.

As to the OP, the two games are different and address different gameplay styles. POTCO has free play as well as paid subscription, true. However, POTBS has recently moved to free to play and free players are not nearly as limited to lower levels as they are in POTCO.

POTBS is a very in-depth game with a steep learning curve. POTCO is simple to play right out of the box. My favorite thing is that in POTBS, people claim that POTCO is a kids' game, but the people in POTCO act far more maturely than in POTBS. You think you've seen griefing in POTCO? You haven't seen anything.

You see, Disney cares about an enjoyable gaming experience for all, to include the younger players. POTBS is no place for the youngsters. Bad language, racist comments, and general poor sportsmanship abound.

If you want to get some experience in another Pirate MMORPG, try POTBS--it is free and can be entertaining, depending upon what you are looking for. However, don't try to compare the two games--they are completely different experiences. Which one is better depends upon what you enjoy doing.
