I also had to vote no. I've been bored with the game for months; so bored that I decided to stop paying.

I started two new pirates after my first pirate finished her Black Pearl Boss battle. I got my first pirate to the voodoo staff, but don't want to just grind away on weapons to get to level 40; which seems to be the only real task left. Sure there are the clothing, the tattoo, the new (albeit, not much better) weapons, the menagerie quests, and running around trying to get every last bit of treasure to fill out your chest but, honestly, those don't beat story line quests.

SvS was interesting, but the amount of lag and then the cheating brought it down. The Halloween "event," which should have been a big to do to celebrate their first anniversary, was just a disappointment; come on, be honest... should an event last for 10 minutes?

I'm not even going to go into the ever increasing number of floating NPC and the number that attack from out of range at lightening speed that you can not hit back. I've sent in the bug reports and so have many, many others, but no one seems to care; instead they decided to mess up bugs that were at least fun.

I'm also going to ignore that they feel the need to completely neglect the adults that play between the hours of midnight and 6am; let me give you a surprise.... some people who play work 3rd shift and this is when they get home to relax, but please don't have the Halloween event during their hours; it's ok, go ahead and take down the entire game only during those hours; if you're going to argue that it's a kids game, why not take it down during school and first shift working hours when kids shouldn't be playing anyway.

Many of my Pirate friends have left. If one of my guilds didn't meet up every Thursday, I don't know that I'd still be playing.

I'll keep waiting for a new update that I feel the need to pay for so that I can participate, but I'm not holding my breath.
