You know... I love Pirates Online.. I really do. I enjoy the game, the people..

However, Disney IMO could care less about quality customer support, nor about customer satisfaction. This happens way too often, and to have it occur during a special event is a serious demonstration of bad business, and poor preparedness.

An unlimited access event where members cant log in?? Geez....

Its a shame, but this is exactly the reason why Im not surprised to see people going to other games - along with the other complaints - lack of quests, lack of places, glitches, bugs.

Perhaps rather than rush out a quest or event, they should put more time into preparing for it. We were doing flagship boarding earlier, and it was nothing but glitch after glitch. Boarding a flagship only to have it sink while we are on board. Grappling one to have it dissapear. Just nonstop issues.

Again LOVE the game, REALLY enjoy the people - but the quality and maintenance shown by Disney leaves something to be desired. I honestly hate paying them when the issues are so serious, and so badly timed.

Oh well.. just my rant.

The customer support is not bad.
All disney customer support is the same but you need to know how to use it.
They try their hardest.
As for maintenence a lot it's because of lag and too many people playing at once. There are over 1,000,000 members already.
If we had more servers then i'm sure it wouldn't happen as much.
Or I may be wrong and they just need to figure out a way to do monthly maintenence.
It could have something to do with the 2x gold.

Zepper are you sure? I was on thirty minutes after the gold event crashed and got back on. It could be just me but I stayed on.

EDIT: Are you guys playing a joke!?
I just now logged on and it's fine.
There are two red oceans so it's not down.

Obviously not for me if I crashed and then was able to get back on.
there was nothing taht said we will be going down for maintenence so....
I really don't see how there was even maintenence if msot people were able to stay on.

Well if it was really down I guess POTCO likes me more so they let me stay on.

Its working trying to spread the word now!

I concur with your assessment of the customer service. Prior to the announcement that the server was down I had contacted the live chat support. Even now they are claiming that my graphics card requires an update (despite my doing that 3 days ago) and that is why I have not been able to log in for well over an hour. They are also telling me that my graphics card is the reason why several other users are also locked out.

Sounds to me like a bad break up lines: "It's not me - it's you! "

icemage · #13 09-14-2008, 11:35 PM

Yeah I gotta admit customer service is bad. Sorry to say this but I don't think they deserve all the money they get

This happened in the middle of the double gold event?! How long was it down? Has there been any word about rescheduling the event to make it up the players affected?

I believe it happened with only 30 minutes left.

Many people remained connected and finished out thier 30 minutes..
I guess I was lucky. Matter of fact, I never lost connection the entire time, and im still connected... wierd!
