For me, it was between Fair and Poor. My final choice was Fair.

As far as content goes, they did okay but it could of been better for 12 months of development.

But thinking back, they fixed very little and added many more problems to POTCO. Didn't fix much from old bugs either...

To name some of the major issues: (not all are new but all unfixed)
-Big failure of Ship customization where Rigging upgrades don't boost time in skills. Known on test to...
-No solution to lag... Cant have a good event with fellow pirates without a lag panic.
-Many disconnections and messed up servers. Removed servers too.
-Leadership is messed up.
-Boarding permission is messed up.
-Many game closures.
-A major game setback that lasted more than a week.
-Swift Foot Glitch
-A directory that doesn't work for 80% of the time. Sometimes, same thing with leaderboards
I could continue naming problems but you can see my point....

Major issues fixed:
-Daggers glitches which...was used a as a cheat for a good few months to speed sailing skills.
-Repair Glitch
-Pirate limit on ships
I don't know any other Major fixes but there might be a few more.

Content added:
-Infamy
-Queen Anne's Revenge
-Scoundrel of The Seas
-Ship customization and Brig

So thinking back to Improvements in fixing game play, I give it a poor rating. More major bugs exists and very few have been fixed. The amount of problems in POTCO is still very high by any standard and still so many bugs after so many years...

As far as content goes, Four major things were added. I think it was good but all besides the Customization were short term content as majority of players would lose interest soon after doing it a few times. Content was not great but good in POTCO's standards. However It's still not much content for a year of development. If i was a teacher, i would not give POTCO higher than a D because it didn't really improve much in 12 months and the sad thing is that i don't sense any effort into making it better since history keeps repeating so many times.

I have been playing for 3+ years with the last 2 more active (always unlimited) and have seen changes- some that took good stuff out and some added great stuff. Nevertheless, POTCO never seems to impress me with their productivity and never has been close to a perfect state. I always look at other games and how they do, though i do not play them, they always seem to do at least twice as better. Right now, it's my friends that i have made along the way that keeps me in the game than the game itself.
