Why pay full price for this game? I mean really.

This conversation is how pirates online is NOT above average, or if it is able to warrant payment considering that there are so many games that are actually up to par out there.

Have you ever played the games listed? I've played LOTRO and continue to play LOTRO although I play pirates more. This game is F2P all the way to lvl 65 which is just 10 levels below max. Theres at least a thousand quests to do and all are interesting and long not little short go kill this and ur done and get no reward quests like POTCO. Theres raids and all sorts of things to do there for FREE. You even have the chance to earn the turbine points they use.. which you can buy with real currency they let you earn that IN-GAME. You can then purchase all the locks that F2P membership has and you've got a good account there. POTCO has nothing like this at all. They have one strong storyline quest that is pretty short. the LOTRO map is extremely larger there. If it weren't for my guild and the community here at POTCO I would not be spending my money here I'd be there. Then later on I'd be moving to SWTOR.

Nobody here is complaining. I've read the previous posts completely and thoroughly. Everyone has brought up legitimate, caring responses to this pressing matter. Not everyone on POF is an unequivocal "fan" of this game. If you truly believe otherwise, read everyone's posts in this topic There clearly are some people who care about our "biased all to negative opinions." I don't see any bias in this topic either. Everyone has brought up problems that actually exist in this game, such as unexplained lagging on top-notch computers due to server instability, and insufficient clipping allowing for the ease of glitching. There's nothing all to-negative about that, as they actually exist. We aren't stretching the actual impact that this has on our experiences when we play. It's interesting to hear what people have to say about this topic, as PotcO is seriously lacking in a large amount of gaming requisites that other modern, free to play games have. This is a real issue. It's not about if you like the game or not. Additionally, constructive criticism on this game is nearly useless, as the PotcO team is in the dark to it's community.

Most of us want to like this game. I've really, really tried to come up with excuses to play this game. But Disney is so intent on making it as frustrating as possible to actually play the game correctly, you start to wonder if the money is really going towards this game.

Embracing different opinions is a necessary part of life. In the course of my 3 years at POF (mostly lurking,) i've created a total of 2 topics that addressed PotcO's inherent unplayability. This topic is one of them. The other topic I made a year ago, which brought up the scarce amount of updates to the gameplay, game engine, and the servers that PotcO desperately needed. All of these problems are still present today, ironically.

If you can't express your opinion on a fansite, then what has the POF come to?
