Too QUIET!

maria,

dude, too. So, no harm no foul!

So, about this POTCO UK, will only citizens of the United Kingdom be able to play? I mean if it is going to be soooo much better - would we be able to defect?

Just looked at the site... Man, oh man if this is any indication - we in the States are being HOSED!

Wow. I looked at the screen shots and they pretty good. But why are they working on the UK game if there other game is going down hill?

There are a lot of reasons why there hasn't been a "big update" yet. The economy could be a reason. For all we know their hours have been cut back severely.

This long period of wait is normal. On toontown there was(is) a cycle where Cog HQs come out with smaller updates in between cog HQs updates. It took two years for bossbot HQ to come out and we made it. It hasn't even been two years yet and people have said that the game is "dead". I don't know why there were almost no impatient threads/posts on TTC when Bossbot HQ was in the works but now there are countless threads/posts here about how the game is "dying".

The game is certainly not dying. We're just in between big updates. I guarentee that we'll see exactly the same cycle once the next big update comes out. There will be excitement and then after four months people will get bored and want more. I want to ask everyone here this question. Is it so hard to stop playing the game and tell yourself to be patient?

The developers are people too. In the developer bios I think there are probably nineteen developers. They can only do so much. Sixteen hours if you want to be specific since the brain needs eight hours of sleep.

If you've played toontown you'll also know that the UK players play with the US players. We all play on the same servers. The only difference is the websites.

Maybe because they're losing so much money, that they NEED to expand across the pond for more potential consumers.

Ahem! I've been playing pirates and I'm from the UK and have done so for the past year and half! As unlimited user. Be-wildered at why there is seemingly a UK version???
Anyway, not sure what's been advertised here, looks great even the bit where it says 'use authentic weaponary'.
So Lightning bolt from a cannon, fury!? What about Voodoo magic, I'm sure that is authentic. Also another amazing thing is that with all the sailing and fighting pirates, the undead, the EITC and Navy - I've never died (just go to jail!), never had Scurvy, rickets, Pox, blood infections from battle, my leg sawn off due to a bad cut and gone sceptic. Aye Disney, Aye - authenticity and become a Legend....

Lag may be an issue for some, but if play is that bad why don't you go to another quiet server?

I'm in the UK and theres nothing new on the UK site or has been for ages. The US site will always be updated first. We dont even get XD with pirates on it yet!! Theres no whispers of bringing the UK site up to speed and Disney have many more important things to work on at the moment. I'm quite sure the UK site is way down their list.
This update is appearing soon (it's only been on test for what, about a week!!) so they must be confident with it. And i'm sure notoriety and gold caps won't follow too far behind.
This game isn't dead and never will be. Oh ye of little faith. Those who persevere will be rewarded greatly. You will see!

Yes I'm greatly rewarding Disney with my cash! As Disney rubs its hands in evil like manner "Yes we will update the game to have new features and quests, just like these pictures of proposed UK site, showing Frigates with 4 sails and new enemies. Now where is my drip feed....."
