OPEN release notes 2/25/09

We too saw all the large EITC ships while out sailing. Now maybe I missed this somewhere along the line, but having 2 maxed on sailing, 3 on cannon I'm thinking this is something new.
Corsairs were brutal last night, not only did they come out of no where, not even showing on my radar, but they use explosives? I was amazed when I saw this, we really do enjoy sailing, and hardly ever sink. Last night those Corsairs got us several times!
Another thing is, if you approach a towns person that doesn't warrent a quest, they each warn about watching out for EITC.

Well, I like the new Tortuga (even if they did release it too early) and, as Zep said, I like the evidence that they are working on the game. After going so long with pretty much nothing added, seeing things be fixed and released is a positive.

And, really, I love the new ships around PDF. It used to be a challenge to get there, and it should be.

On the other hand, I really, really hate the new look of the pirates. I can live with the hair colors, but the body shapes?! They look like these pirates have been marooned on an island for months! Too thin, and far too angular!

But worse, they release this stuff on test, they ask for reports & suggestions, and they fix the major crashes, but not enough of it. Then they release it to open before they can really process what we tell them. POTCO is earning a bad reputation doing this. They've become a joke around people who play a lot. Is that really what they want?
