Whale: I am not trying to split hairs either, and I apologize if it comes across that way.

That said, I do not play POTCO (or other games) just to "beat it." I play to have fun. I would compare the current state of POTCO to a virtual game of slots (no real money involved). You just sit and do the same thing, and even if you win, you don't gain anything and you go right on doing what you were doing before, still knowing there is no reward. If that is enjoyable to someone, then by all means I encourage said person to continue. But I cannot justify giving my time to something so seemingly pointless.

I still log on the game occasionally to touch base with some of my good friends, but there is literally not a single person I care to touch base with that I can't contact by PM here, email, instant messenger, or by other means.

When Disney releases new content of substance (namely a new story quest - which I wrongly assumed would come with the level cap increase) I suspect I will renew my subscription and continue pirating. I will take my time on the quests and eventually get to the big 5-0 and I will have a blast with my pirate buddies once again. But until then, the only thing that would have kept me in game - friends - are all too easily contacted out of game for me to warrant spending too much time in the Caribbean.
