excuse me ex, but I believe the movies were PG-13. Interesting theory but, no. however we're not saying that it should be more for adults. Some of us are (including me) disagreeing on its length shortened. I liked the way they were long, it gave me something to do. Like Zep said its a step back to fix and then D will probably do something.

I can understand why Disney decided to change the quest around some, and make it easier for the newer players. I just wished that while they did that, they would have added something to occupy the players that have mastered pirates. Things like ship customization or expanded clothing inventory for starters. Granted, it wouldn't occupy people for long, but it would have been better than the nothing that we have been getting!

I never offered a theory. I just pointed out that the Disney trademark is very valuable and that no one in that company will do anything to devalue it.

Pirates of the Caribbean Online is a kid's game. It was conceived as a kid's game and it was implemented as a kid's game. It was advertised on kid's TV networks and the game play is a simplified version of an MMORPG. No blood, a vicious "chat nanny", pointing pistols at the living is "against the code" and other characteristics of the game back me up.

However, the game developers have done a masterful job of creating a game that works on multiple levels. I am living proof and so is this forum. The fact that the movies were rated PG-13 (arguably a "kid's rating") changes nothing. Adult content is off limits to the POTCO world and we can't expect it.

And please don't lock on to "it's a kid's game" and feel like I'm trying to be insulting. It's more of a general description than any sort of slight to older players, myself included. Checkers is a kid's game too and I played last night. Disney has made a lot of money on making things for kids. Especially those things for kids that all of us enjoy!
