more bugs....... how many more bugs are there >.> im getting impatient....

[Eliza Creststeel]

I thought Fishing was working pretty good except for the PDF ground thing.

[The Skirata Clan]

What is "Welcome Worlds"?

[Sven Osymthe]

The server you are on once you exit the tutorial, after making a pirate. I could be wrong though.

[The Skirata Clan]

That makes sense. I think.

[James Bladefury]

Yes, when you first make your pirate and enter the tutorial, you enter Welcome World7 or Welcome World2 or any welcome world.

Ya i still play toontown Fishing is has been there for a while ( still more of a POTCO fan ) But fishing til October 31st? I dont think so. And btw ive been playing Toontown and POTCO about a month after they both came out So ik alot of what has happend over the years. Good luck and Amuse your self with a pic of me steering a Ship Of The Line!

[Tiberius Fireskull]

Seriously, fishing has been on test for 2 weeks, more than anything else ive ever seen in the game... more than even the inventory expantion... HOW MANY BUGS CAN SOME FISH AND A FEW KNIVES HAVE?!

Ok now im hoping for them to come out next week....

[titanic95594]

Maybe it might come out this month cant wait to go fishing!

[MacIronhawk]

If we get lucky, fishing will be released by tonight, but that seems very unlikely for tonight. Odds are, it will be released next week; ironically when most people should be getting back to school.

Fishing is a pretty big update, to me. It was in Toontown, and remains one of the most time consuming things to do in toontown. It's not as time consuming as in pirates, but it's still big.

And this is irrelevant, but with the way things seem to be going, the new shrouded island and a quest with it doesn't seem like it's coming as soon as most would like it to. We might not see it on open until October 31, the 3rd year of POTCO.

I don't remember a time when POTCO ever had an update on Saturday or Sunday, so unfortunately we probably won't see the update until Monday or Tuesday.

I dont remember anything coming out on a Monday.. maybe Tuesday... but most big updates such as these are things they would release on Thursday of Friday...

This is the longest Ive ever seen anything on test... pretty much everything is released during its first or second week after being released on test... this is going on its third.... even the inventory expansion with all its bugs and things to be removed and added didnt take this long. How many bugs can a few fish have?

The new inventory system, and new weapons were released in March 25-2010, and the last test update for the inventory system was April 22-2010. Almost a month after the inventory system was released, all the bugs for it on test were fixed.

Fishing is a big update, but not as big as the inventory system. And just because one update is bigger than another, doesn't mean the smaller update won't have more bugs. You'd usually think that bigger updates mean more bugs, but that isn't always the case.

For all we know, once this new island can be landed on, and we can do a quest for it, it will have just a few bugs. We could get lucky, who knows. I'm just glad they're taking their time with this update, because if they don't, then the next update is only going to be worse, because according to Speedway Masters thread, this Ravens Cove quest will involve potions and fishing. You can't exactly do a quest which involves fishing if all the bugs for it aren't worked out.
