Post Reasons ...

Well some have asked for reasons why we want an adult server:

And just be on the safe side, i don't argue here wether it can be done or
if disney will involve themselves.

1. I am responsible in my friendship making with players: I have refused to be
a bf to an obvious girl that wanted me as one. But i want to friend people on
an adult server who i know are of right age, and who i know are adults.

2. I am playing another online game where it is completely allowed to share
e-mails. I have had friends in there also. If so - naturally only on an adult server.

3. I am from Denmark and find it interesting to have cyberfriends from other
countries ... experience, thoughts and perceptions can be shared.

4. As a mastered sailer and cannoneer i find it highly annoying (especially now
after new updates) that some level 2 to 7 kiddo joins because i forget to
deactivate public boarding.
Why ? Because ... while doing ship pvp or normal sailing they shoot at anything
that moves.

Yesterday i had two bad experiences:

A. I did some ship pvp and got meself a nice revenge sinking a bathtub that
gave me score of 5799 and a bounty of 5120. I normally prefer to sail alone
without crew since it gives minimal trouble.
I had a close to sink - hull damage - and have i had public access i would without
any doubt have had low level kids aboard that fired on computer ships which
CAN sink you before you have a chance to repair and even during a repair.

I have had situations where i had a high score and bounty, have been close to
sinking AND have had low level players aboard that simply found my instructions
or information indifferent.

B. In a situation before that i had my prime character sailing around solo and
sinking 50 ships in a row. There was mostly only one other ally (french side)
that had his ship LOADED with uncontrollable players that fire on the enemy,
ME and computer ships.
I read several times that he (first) asked nicely if they could stop shooting at me.
After several times his words became a bit sharp - still no positive response.
After 10 minutes i wrote him that i ignored his crew fire since they obviously
didn't care about him and what he was doing. And that i didn't blame him.
Normally it would make me turn side, launch as enemy and sink that player.

After one hour he was completely frustrated and it went actually on for two hours
where his crew showered me with cannonballs every time i came within range.

Is this so disturbing ? After all they can't damage me ? Yes it is - since when i hear
cannons being fired i am alert. It distracts many times since i have to turn view
and look at my six if an enemy is following.
Meanwhile enemies have several times engaged me from my 12 and damaged
me badly since i didn't have a clear view of how they closed in.

Ps to the above ... i have two times now written disney and requested an
implement where we either can plank unwanted players off the ship or in a
nicer and more polite way click a button that auto teleports unwanted and
uncontrollable players off ship and to their port of call.
As it is now my only chance is to sail to the most remote island (perdida), land
(lose score and bounty - and okay so what), maroon them and know that they
have to sail all the way back thru waters pestered with computer ships and
hope they learned a lesson.

5. AND it will be TOTALLY nice to get rid of ANY answering questions and helping
with plus mode set.

6. A little more adult verbalization of writings, could also be nice so you know you
don't risk offending players or Company D.

7. Yes it is a family game - but even in families - kids need to be without parent
supervison and parents need time without kids.
Kids need time with their own kind - as do we (well i do at least).
This way it could also give more enhanced game play - since you can chose to
play with own kind or more direct family related.

What is so terrible that we (adults) like to play family / kid games but also want
some things to work for our adult behaviour ?
