Basil, I applaud your post. It is right on, and I agree with those who said that Disney needs to know that their game is failing. I loved this game when I first started, and I still love it enough that I have 3 pirates, all over 30, and am considering deleting #2 so that I can start over. Again.
But, like others, I have noticed that since Halloween, there just have not been that many players on, and those who are on are largely talking about how bored they are, and digging for rumors of updates. We just need more to do. Like others, we have been finding things to make it fun, but really, we're just stalling until they can come out with something. |

I'm sure that the devs that could possibly be reading this do not know what to do actually. This topic has been discussed lots of times before, and yet, I don't see any improvement what so ever. I like how you can actually say what you feel should be said on POF, and that the devs actually look at it. At the Grog Blog, they reject anything and everything negative. To me, that's a sign of denial. They're most likely denying the fact that this game is dying so they can try to keep players while they work for about another year on notoriety increases and that sort.
A friend of mine, who was meeting up with the GM's a few weeks ago had some very interesting things to share. She told me that the GM's said that levels will be increased within a year. They're working on adding pets to the game, and of course, the long-awaited Kraken is apparently being taken into consideration. Now, my opinions are both positive and negative. Positive because pets, krakens, and higher levels are things that people want. I'm satisfied with the fact that Disney is actually LOOKING at SOME of these suggestions. If the devs weren't paying attention AT ALL, then what would the point of having GM events be? This game is very young compared to other games. This game was released way too soon, most likely in spirits of competition. POTCO vs POTBS--POTBS was released later and yet, they're doing a heck of a lot better in terms of game content. With that in mind, the POTCO devs must be just a group of impatient, over-ambitious people who most likely just finished college and are working on their FIRST major project. Time is the key to success, just throwing ideas in and releasing them won't cut it. They should have added the stuff advertised before offically releasing the game. That way, we would have more things to do in game, even after full mastery. If Disney actually thought this through, the simple fact is that more content = better business. My negative opinion that in a year, a greater percentage of POTCO players would have moved on already if new content is not added NOW. I'm sure the ones who would quit know that content will be added, just not any time soon most likely. A lot of players don't have the patience to wait another year just for raised level caps. It would be the game's second year, and THEN they start answering people's prayers. It is to my experience as a POTCO player that the more updates there are, the more bugs and glitches there will be. Invincibility, invisibilty, auto-repairs, you name it, they have it. Disney has a strict rule against cheating and yet, some people are still finding ways to cheat in game. It's the cheaters' fault for being so low down and pathetic as to cheat in the first place but it all boils down to DISNEY not taking enough time to fix the problem. When SvS was released, it was only on test for 2 weeks or so. I'm sure that there would have been more bugs if the testers had not tested the updates first but 2 weeks is an extremely short amount of time. A huge update like SvS deserves more time and patience than what Disney gives it. I agree that the testers are being ignored a lot, they report problems--doing what they're SUPPOSED to do on test and all they apparently get is an automated reply. I can't say for sure if this is true, but observation can tell a lot. My overall grade on this game is D+. This game has A LOT of potential. Right now though, the game is falling faster than ever. |

I really don't think I could have said it any better. I have been playing for a year now, keep trying to do fun things with guild to ease the boredom and to add excitement with hopes of something big that will happen. It is difficult to keep everyone entertained once they have finished with the pearl quest much less the tedious chore of lvling weapons. I have talked with guild about all the new stuff that supposedly will be coming out to keep the enthusiasm going with the game. Now I have to question as to whether or not that will really happen or when?

Wouldn't it be great if Disney had a poll on their site as to what content we'd want released next?

id say its more like just a shadow of what it once was now that we realize Disney wont live up to our expectations of what good mmo should be and should either have a mercy killing or a MAJOR update with lotsa new content (only accessible by unlimited accounts)

Well having read the latest approved messages now on the Grog Blog, they actually did approve some negative comments this time. Maybe they are hearing us some and seeing some of their err'd ways.
Don't want to be negative towards them, always trying to stay positive, but its exceedingly difficult as time passes. Test has some new fixes posted, so we are making some progress there. Maybe the devs took some deserved holiday time off. Of course we continue to "play" through the holiday so we dont always take that into consideration. Still looking forward to POTCO's future, just hoping we dont have to wait too much longer before we see some of these promised ideas implemented.

Im still holding out for a big update when the UK verision is released. If people let there subscriptions go they just turn limited. If the new content comes all those people have to do is upgrade and they have all their base back. Im holding out with my opinion that when UK comes out we all will get the upgrade.
All of the pirates merchandise is pretty much out of the retailers right now maybe a few things here and there on th sale rack, they are getting ready for some kind of relaunch revamp. Pirates are too popular to just end it. Disney is famous for reinventing its products over and over. Disney is also notorius for running there online stuff at a snails pace, apparently it does not matter to them cause toontown had a large gap before a few new things were added. They will get there, in their time, thats how they do things. They know the fan base they have with pirates and they are counting on people comming back when they do update, and you know what, they will. Just this humble pirates opinion.

Also they may be taking a long time with these updates.....but really if its taking so long and you guys can't wait....why continue to play hour and hours without end? I know Disney is taking a while with these updates but you need to realize they aren't just focusing ALL of their time into this one game....and even if a lot of people quit its their choice in the end when they want to release stuff, just ends up either hurting or helping them in the end....and in this case its hurting them. |

The game isn't made to be played 24/7. Heck the game even says it "If you have been playing for more than two hours, you should take a break!" |

You know, I thought it was just me. My Pirate reached Level 40 a couple of weeks ago and I was surrounded by my guild and we were having a great time. And then "BOOM." I Mastered my pirate. It took a long time because I'm a casual player. From June to November. I was excited and having a good time for about 30 seconds...
After that a question jumped into my head and never went away. "Now what?" The answer is, "Nothing..." I paid my money, took the ride and now it's over. The only reason I am still on is that my son likes to play and it doesn't seem fair to send him back to basic when he has come so far. Don't get me wrong, I love this game and always will think of it fondly. I have made some friends and have a great guild. But my role in the game has been reduced to healer and fixer. Guild member needs gold? Come sail with me. Need to fight Neban the Silent? I'll heal. Boss battle? Sure...Have Staff, Will Travel. Too many bad guys...I got your back. It's OK and I like to help the new guildies but not for 10 bucks a month. Basil said what I want to say and did so without flaming or whining. Very eloquent, very "to the point." It is time for a new chapter. It is time for increased notoriety. Pets? Blah... But Jolly Roger? Outside of an excuse for Undead Enemies, Jolly Roger plays no part in this game. How can Disney justify this? Anyway, I am new to the forum and been playing POTCO since June. Just felt I had something to say. |

The problem with new updates coming to the game is that with new stuff, comes new glitches and exploits. The very very very least disney can do is raise the caps. They don't even have to give us new weapons, at least not right away. Raise the level cap to twice what it is right now. It cannot be that difficult to do. Come on Disney, you are losing your customers! You have to have noticed that by now!! Stop with the pointless events, turn the sky back to its normal color, and give us something to do! |
