Characters Suggestion

Unfortunately I do not share this opinion at all. I already have a 2nd paid account just to have more pirates to play the game as it currently stands.

Not having any interest whatsoever in PvP or SvS environment/gaming (one of the main reasons I started playing POTCO and fell in love with it, is it does not require these aspects of gaming in the least to enjoy it.) I would definately not want to be forced down any of these lines with my characters.

A better option IMO, would be when creating one of your 4 "characters", be given the option of creating one of these other characters for whatever purposes fit the needs of the enduser/paying member.

All these ideas for PvP are interesting, but absolutely need to remain separate from the overall game for purposes of lag, and purely game interest itself. The world of pirates was not a PvP world. Pirates seldom fought other pirates as the Navy/EITC etc ships were what paid off for your troubles.

I suppose I'm just getting bored and need new content to hold my interest. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy this game...but have been frustrated lately.

I agree 100%. I at first was very positive about this game, and defended it as it slowly progressed, but the speed at which is moving has become excessively frustrating. Recently I had an individual tell me that I should see more of the good in it, and not be so negative at times, after contemplation on the subject I realized, that I am a fan, I help to represent the fans on this site. I am not Disney. Fans are not happy, Disney needs to know the fans are unhappy. They do not need some false facade helping them feel all warm and fuzzy about thier piddling around slowly, thinking everyone is happy. Truth is always better than fiction.

My thoughts exactly. I don't like the PvP part of the game and even the SvS gets old after a bit. I also have 2 paid accounts and just enjoy creating new pirates and starting them over. (NOT thrilled spending days leveling weapons tho. ) I would love to see the serious lag problems fixed as well as new story quests added. For those that want to be Navy there are war games out there for you to join.
We be pirates here matey.

I agree with that completely Zep.

As for Akamystic's statement, there are many here with more than 4 characters, and all 40's. They definitely haven't felt any lov'n coming their way.

Guilds were going down back in February, and from personal experience, most left by sheer boredom. One guild I was in started late February, and basically empty. Most all the players loved the game.

With hitting around 30 and nothing but weapon grinding, harassment of chat bans, we still are looking at basically the same thing we had in February, people leave. Some guilds today will feel that exact thing as well, as nothing else changes. That for me has been plenty enough to be frustrated at seeing another hat special event type thing again.

As for the idea of this post, I could only see this perhaps on its own Island type thing. Even at that, I think those who chose a soldier, and having one skill with bayonet, or eitc, just dagger, they would loose interest fast.

Even same level, say 40, I would be using flame skull, life drain, viper nest, blade storm, siege bomb, and opponent using whack, whack with dagger, no chance.
