I'll have to disagree there. I play a little more than that and I don't even have one level 40 let alone one that's fully mastered. Possibly it's because I enjoy the social aspects of the game more than focusing on completing everything there is.

TT keeps players busy! POTC is failing at that!

But POTCO can't be compared against TT. There has been quite a bit of time for Disney to release a lot of things to do on ToonTown. If you want to compare how long it took major new content to be released on ToonTown, they were on the same track that POTCO is on right now. It took Disney 20 months from the time TT went Live to release the 2nd Cog headquarters (Cashbot HQ), another 14 months after that to release Lawbot HQ, and 23 more months to release Bossbot HQ.

TownTown just celebrated its 6 year anniversary (on June 2nd, wow coincidences eh?). TT has had a lot of time to develop. Yes, there is a lot to do on TT, but it didn't start out with all of the boss battles and all of the mini-games & activities it has now. It built up to them. Sellbot HQ wasn't even released until 5 months after launch (sound familiar?). Overall, TT is much a more developed MMO, yes. Six years later, I would hope so.

Comparable or not, you can tell that Disney made Toon Town a more successful game, and they are actually advertising it a little bit. Pirates hasn't had a commercial ever since Ship PvP came out, and I honestly cannot see it getting anymore soon with these updates. Sure, new members who have just joined and think these new enemies are something else may think it's a big change, but they have no clue what truly happened. POTCO is pretty much Disney's new Toilet System, it flushes out all good players, and gets clogged up by the stinky and unwanted players. Whether they can realize they've made it what it is or not, it's their fault because they said the game was ours, and they take out the Family Factor, which was just about all there was in the game after 3 months.

I would be an example of this. One month of gameplay, only play on weekends, and I've mastered.

Are you forgetting that TT came out with many other things along the way? TT came out with fishing, more fish species, racing, golfing, estates, doodles, along with the 4 cog HQs, and lv. 7 gags. TT came out with new stuff every 3-9 months, but when TT came out with the Hqs, those kept players busy because of the cog suits system. People wanted to be at the top due to so much competition which made them want to max their suits. POTC doesn't have a system in which you dress up as a guard to recapture the pearl, and you move up through marine, sergeant, etc. If it did, players would be MUCH less bored because they want to be ahead of the rest.

I'm hoping so too, and I'm not the only player to think that.
