Saying Goodbye to POTCO? Read on Friends...

[Stephen O'Malley]

Mac, I agree with most of the things you said, but I must point out a few things that differentiate TT from POTC.

TT is a fully developed game that has players kept busy for years at a time. Like Sarah said, a few hours 3 times a weak, and you've mastered every aspect of the game. I had gotten my main pirate up to Level 40, all weapons lv. 22+, and all tasks (including bonus ones) completed in less than a month. In TT, it takes at least a month to max one of the four cog suits, and you still have several weeks going to golfing, fishing, and racing. Not to mention the fact that there's so much personalization throughout the game, and there's so much competition around you to motivate you to get through the game. I have never met a fully maxed toon that hadn't been spending at least 6 months on TT. On POTC, I have met people who have maxed their pirates in a week and a half. There is little gaming content to POTC, when you compare it to TT. This is why TT can take months at a time when coming out with new stuff; it keeps the players busy. Could you imagine players on TT like POTC in which half the paid gaming community has 3 fully maxed toons? If that was happening, TT would be having the exact same problems as POTC is having right now. So in end, I think it is an unfair comparison when comparing POTC and TT, and it still eludes why Disney is fully aware of the problems and lack of new content on POTC, and why they're not sending some of the designers from the TT department to the POTC development department.

Basically, my rant in a nutshell: TT keeps players busy! POTC is failing at that!
