The thing that annoys me the most, is the little bit of recognition all the other guilds who won received. My guild was number 18, if i'm correct. We killed for days, with only a few people assisting. But, all I get is a small little blurb at the end, sounds like the news to me; Spin the details how you want them, then give everything right at the end...

Anyway, this continues my distrust of Disney. Correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't most of the game's tasks run by computers, (i.e. in game banning). The stuff like guild names and unapproved names takes place at certain times, from what i've seen. I know they work, i've seen how games are run, and I know a fair amount myself. I can understand an update once a month, programming and graphics design isn't easy. But waiting 3 months for stuff, only to have it become boring within a few days. They put in massive amounts of rep for the invasions to entice us with the amount it takes to level. It's a stepping stone for them, bring out something, make it better by adding something else.

I've seen what they'll bring out, it'll be great. But Pirates is gonna be two years old in a few months, 3 if you include beta testing. VMK was open 3 years, and they introduced a ton of stuff, most of which was ready in beta.

I'm tired of the roleplays where they hit you with the new content attached to a hook, only to slowly pull it away when u get excited. They throw in flashy phrases, all fluff. What I wanna see, is something similar to what they did on Ghost Adventures Live. Instead of brining in a small, targeted group, have a live web chat set up. People can type in their questions, and the programmers, not Capn Walter can answer them. I'd love some real answers, and some actual proof it'll come out, not the images from conventions, though I do love those pictures.


It's time they give us some real proof. I've stuck around for my guild and caue I hope stuff will come out, but I can only wait so long.

Zeke,
Not sure how long you have been playing mate, but Pirates celebrated their 2 year anniversary going live the end of October. I will have been playing 2 years come February and I never played beta, let alone lucky enough to be a Founder.

So if ye don't know how long Pirates has been around, how can ye say you've seen what they'll be bring out.

While the timing is off the sentiment is understood, Pirates has not demonstrated that they can bring good quality content out at a reasonable rate to merit the price of admission. As evidence just count up all the previously unlimited players on your friends list that are now basic and inactive. I have hundreds and that's not counting guildmates from any of the three guilds I'm currently in and ex-guildmates from previous guilds. Disney has to keep the players interest somehow but these news blurbs and the simplistic content additions just don't cut it. I have been around a long while so perhaps its getting to be time to move on from here also.

Yea, I posted that after a few major tests, so I was fried. As for how long i've been playing, I tested the first day of beta 1, so i've been around.
