In my opinion the updates are completely worth paying for.

Now this is the opinion of someone fresh off a several month hiatus from the game because of no new content, yet during that hiatus I continued to pay, with the faith that updates were on the way.

And now here they are. We have higher level enemies, improved sailing, extensive new environments which are well thought out and well implemented. Not to mention the weapons and noto level increases.

I'm extremely pleased. These updates show that, indeed, the devs have been listening to us and working to improve the game in areas we asked for. No, they didn't meet everyone's expectations, but that would be impossible with one update. They've done the most extensive update since I began playing in 12/07 and it gives me assurance that they're still comitted to the game and improving it.

I agree with others who say that this update is a move toward what Disney originally intended before they felt pressured into early release.

And the new Casa Muerte Guild quest on test clearly hints that more changes are on the horizon. You're admonished by the last guild member to be "aware of the signs" when they come. I believe that Jolly Roger is about to make a full blown appearance in the game. "Bring me that horizon"!

I would like the idea of Jolly Saint Nick vs Jolly Roger in an all-out server battle. Make a server called Jolly, and have it members only, making it war on the server for all those who dare to join. I do however, think they may have a double rep weekend or so after these updates more than likely, which will be a good time for those really devoted sailors out there.
