What Grade will you give POTCO?

[Capt C Ray]

I give POTCO an A for the year. Maybe it's because I have too many pirates on live and test, and none of them are fully mastered. But with everything Disney has done this year, there has always been something new to do or explore again. Can't wait to see what 2010 brings to the caribbean

[combatlizzy]

Have to go with an "A"...I'm a content pirate...Just wish a better sailor...lol

[jason davy]

C. It isn't terrible but it isn't outstanding. Just an average game.

[Dockwrecker The Privateer]

Though one for me,I did vote B but in that considering I was noting what Unlimited members recieved as well,for basic its about a C.My fun week of Unlimited runs out this week ,but I could take a quick break from the leveling rush.One thing Disney need is when you need to go back to a previous word on the chat you can use you mouse to click there instead of waiting for that slow arrow feature to get you there.

Definitely C. The updates are good but slow, and the promised things havent come out.
I look forward to 2010 and the years ahead. And my guess is the Jan 30 update is the new loot and inventory. Pirates went a bit back in graphics for gameplay, but im sure theyre planning to make it better. I dont like certain things, like going thru players in the new update, but we shall see what is to come

[XxJennaxX]

B. Its fun and stuff, but there's plenty of things they should add to make the game ever better..such as..MORE CLOSET SPACE. It gets so annoying having to delete old clothes to make room for new ones when I'd like to just keep them all. :]

[Charles Darkwolf]

I was going to give this game a C to C+, but after this last update, I'm giving it a D to D-.

Their "new and improved" ships make me sick, and don't get me started on the X marks the spot dig areas. I mean come on now, were people SO unwilling to search for dig spots, that Disney had to do this? I'm sure with the next update, everyone will have their own personal GM to do the defeating of enemies for them, that way nobody has to draw their weapons.

That last sentence was a joke, but the way things are going, an update like that wouldn't surprise me.

[Bladehawk]

this year it's cool a little same from when i first made my person

[bartholomew bladeroberts]

I chose B potco is good with a few nice updates here and there nothing that new or high tech I didn't count the update on the 10th because that was just a load of crud but potco is a B- on my opinion

[davy redflint]

gave em a d.....there not ther yet....

SO, I stand by my grade. D

I'm with you Nelly.

I might have gone as high as a "C" but with the last update to the Test Server, I can no longer get my settings quite right. Everything is short, fat and dumpy. Circles are squished and so is my once tall and handsome pirate. Getting tired of Disney REDUCING what we have while telling us it's "Brand New and JUST FOR YOU! Poorer Graphics! More Lag!! Now gimme 10 more dollars..."

Yes, I'm whining. I know that. But a year ago it was an "A".

[JDAnne]

I gave Disney an F
These new updates make the game almost impossible to play, I'm shelling out 30 bucks a month for my family to play and what do we get? Oh just play it on low settings to reduce lag and blah blah blah so I can look at smeary blobs on my screen and try to play? Why have higher end settings at all if only but a few can use them, must be my sub disney standard computer that I have ( a quad core 2.2 with a gtx 275 card and 6 gigs of ram with a 12meg internet connection hmmm) I myself am barely hanging on, 15 to 20 min just to get to my pirate selection page then another 10 to get in the game? There are games out there that are more graphically intense and smoother running that are FREE or some that charge the same amount that are constantly bringing in new content and upgrades.
I know by Disneys words that their target subscribers are 12 yr old boys, but I would think even a 12 yr old would have higher expectations than what has been produced.
Obviously the money made from this game is NOT getting put back into it.

Sorry just ranting and very disappointed

Also a word on Test, me and me mates have spent considerable time over there testing and sending in reports......none of it was listened too. Whats the point of test if we are to be ignored and content to be put on live just to meet a deadline regardless if it works or not?

I expected more from an iconic brand such as Disney. It's sad to see the bottom line is more important than reputation.

[JM Ohara]

Just a C from me. Yeah, it's a fun game, but it really does need something to happen after the Pearl Battle. The new updates are half and half. Some are kinda cool, but then they went and fixed things that weren't broken, breaking them instead. So, ya, just a C.

[Midhav]

Hmmm... This seems like one of those times in the middle of the year when everyone was complaining about the lack of updates and many quit the game. Then the good updates came! Now its Tortuga invasion, last time the updates were Tortuga then Padres' redesigning, so hold on for a possible Padres Del Fuego invasion, or an immediate release of a new story chapter! Or we can expect that after PDF invasion or next month they'll release new forests, new islands, new weapons, and then the chapter, or all three previous mentioned in different updates, or with the story chapter. And more delaying will happen with redesigning of Cuba..... <sigh>. The list goes on with different combinations lol

Updates are just updates. Some of us (who are still here by the way) are complaining about the lack of NEW CONTENT...

I might hold on for a new story chapter. A good one. But more invasions? If I wanted to play arcade style hack-and-slash games I would. But I don't. I prefer RPGs and since this is a MMORPG, I thought there might be some gameplay based on that particular genre...

Anyway you slice it, it's all icing and no cake. And yes. I am quite grumpy today.
