Yes, POBS has horrible glitches and a stale combat system, but what is more realistic; POBS, or POTCO; in which you can go onboard a flagship (filled with skeletons) and kill them all with one hit with desolation? Sorry if that offends you, I am a bit defensive over POBS, it used to be my favorite game.

Also, backgrounds might be good. Like being a former Navy officer, or an old EITC assassin, or being a voodoo witchdoctor. But allegiances? No, the game has enough player conflict already. POBS was in depth, but I doubt Panda3D could handle "in depth".

metal, you seem to be giving a bunch of if situations.

You do realize if we went to work for the navy, eitc, and davy jones, it's not like we're there for life? Of course Disney doesn't want us to work for them full time, but what's not to say do a few quests for them, join on their ships, and take out pirate ships in special areas, where there are NPC pirate ships?

You're forgetting to take into account what Disney can do. They could make special davy jones crew battles areas for us where pirates are warned not to enter, and if they do, can be sunk by players that joined davy jones. Pirates could enter the area, but couldn't damage the NPC pirate ships placed there specifically for players joining davy jones to sink.

Disney already told us in an old player Q and A that we'd never get to make a navy, EITC, skeleton, or davy jones player, but who's to say we can't go work for them for a bit? Like work for the EITC, and then when we betray them, they give us the P tat. for pirate? There are a lot of things Disney can do with this idea.
