Suggestion for Adult Servers- LISTEN UP DISNEY GUYS!!! (lol)

[Tab1975]

Even if they don't allow an adult server, for heaven's sake, LIGHTEN UP! I can't say the word "Gremlins" (That's a term I use when a computer's gone wonky. Computer gremlins). I was trying to tell someone we "tore up" a skelly ship and THAT wouldn't go through. I'm trying to get my sister help for the Boss Battle - her pirate's name is Kat Badkidd, and they won't let me type her NAME! I can't even separate it and say Bad Kid. Yet they allow her to have that name...

This is my first Disney online game to play, but I can tell you this story...remember about three, four years ago when Disney started the whole "Magical Gatherings" thing for WDW and DL? And you could download this software, invite all your friends and family that were going on the trip with you, and that way you could get together online, plan you "to-dos", your food options, and they had a chat. Awesome idea, right?

My friend and I got in the chat one night and started making plans...we could not use the words "Group", "Peter", or "Mickey." FOR PLANNING A DISNEY TRIP!

I think there's protecting, and then there's ridiculous.

the name Lucy use to get blocked as well, I submitted it ot Disney as an addition to their dictionary, a week later they responded saying it had been added and I havn't had problems with people not being able to use my name in chat since.

[Tab1975]

(Incidentally, if I can say this here...Lucy is Kat's real name...if not for you, she woulda been stuck either way...)

[Lucy]

thier just jealous of us Lucys because we're awsome and they were trying to keep us down

[Maggie Wildstack]

I couldn't agree more! Most of the players I run in to are adults anyway - so one (or several) servers would only make sense.

I received a "Shame on you" e-mail from Disney yesterday. What I don't understand is how totally random it is. I've said MUCH worse (and yes, I even managed to give out my e-mail) and never heard a peep from them. Now all of a sudden I'm under scrutiny?

The point Disney is TOTALLY missing is WHO PAYS FOR THE GAME??? It's certainly not the little kiddies....

GIVE THE ADULTS THEIR OWN SERVERS!!!

[DvLzArchAngL]

So where are all the dos and donts about what we cant say while chatting listed at?

[DvLzArchAngL]

Ya know this all comes down to the parents responsibility not Disney's.

The only reason the restrictions exist is to protect Disney if and when someone decides to blame them for whatever misfortune befalls them or their family.

But it wont be Disneys fault for lack of trying. It's the parents fault for lack of monitoring.
It goes way beyond the game people. If something happens to your kid on here YOU and YOU ALONE should have been watching them better. NOT DISNEYS JOB. Its OURS as parents.

And the protecting of kids is completely separate from the reason why people want an adult server anyways. We want it to get AWAY from the child like behavior we THINK the kids are displaying. Unfortunately for those who want away from it is the fact that some of the adults can and do act WAY WORSE than some of the kids do.

I for one am all for it. But hasnt anyone noticed that all the oceans/servers are linked? Doesnt matter which one youre on you cant run away from anyone. We're all playing the same game in the same world. The servers just re-distribute the workload.

No matter what ocean I go to I can still talk to every member of my guild and all my friends.
If you're on one and someone else is on another it doesn't separate you.

To run adult servers they would have to completely separate them. Which is probably more about money than our wants and needs. Disney is big business and like most primarily cares about the bottom line/dollar over all.

I got my account suspended because I was trying to get one of my guildies to our guild site. We were having a tough time getting it to work and after about 15 minutes of separating and coding our chat I flattly told her the link. Two days later I got an email telling me I couldn't play for 72 hours. I asked them how I could get around getting in trouble talking to people I know in real life and apparently there is no way. Even if you are "true friends" you still are restricted. Next time I'll just pick up the phone. As for the heavily filtered chat, you can't even say I'll meet you in Cuba. However, while in crew chat with my sister in law I said a bad word and it went through. It's so inconsistent.. We should plague them with calls requesting adult servers. I would jump through whatever hoops they request if they would give us an adult server.

The other day I could say 40000 in local chat but not tell me guildmate how much each of the war ships cost. I guess it thought that the prices were my social security number, web site or home address.

Seems like it notices the context the words are used in as well as the words themselves. You can say thing but not in certain ways. My buddy couldnt even tell us he was watching "My name is Earl". Had to send it in 4 separate messages.

They filter is too heavily restricted. I mean come on people, we cant even talk about game related issues. You can say kill, killin but not killing. THATS THE POINT OF THE GAME!

[Peggo]

I'm a little confused by the chat restrictions. I don't have them. I can say numbers and typo like crazy. I don't use profanity but I can say anything I want.
It appears there are already adult filters in place. Every now and again I see someone saying they can't say something.
Am I just lucky?
But I agree an adult server would be so nice. I would love to not have my ship fired on in port. Ugh.

[DvLzArchAngL]

Oh man I had someone, assuming it was a kid, Open fire on me in the padres port thge other night. He got close enough so I could see his chat in local and he started yelling that I had angered the padres fire gods and he was an evil spirit sent to make me pay.

I was minding my own business "sniping" ships with thuderbolt from the bay and he obviously got upset by it. He then used some glitch to sail his war galleon into the mountain over and over returning to my side and opening fire yelling at me to leave or die.

I accidently typed "go away" in guild chat which prompted a few of them to hop on my boat and watch the kids temper tantrum first hand. After having enough of his attitude we all loaded up some firebrand and lit his entire boat on fire. Then and only then he finally dropped anchor and left.

While it was irritating at first and funny after that it just goes to show that anyone can act like a jerk. We just assume its kids since its child like behavior.

[Peggo]

LOL. I often open fire on them if they don't listen when I tell them "I am not a target!" I hate it when they make my ship smoke.

::Stands up and applauds with a standing ovation of pirates behind him somehow.::

This is in fact one of the best idea's I have heard. When I canceled my subscription because of low funds a few months ago I said this to the woman on the phone. There should be more things we can do for fun. Pirates were dirty mouthed people also if we are with a crew of our adult friends and playing around screaming at the NPC Navy we should be allowed to call then foul names!

I just do not like playing a game sometimes because the younger audience can get annoying on how to play sometimes. They don't understand the game mechanics ad older people and it just is more helpful to be on our own servers at times. It is way to much to have to worry about some kid following you and if you are thirty levels higher they expect you to help them! It's tough when I am fighting something my level to protect a level 6 child. Not to mention I understand this is a family game and all but not all MMOers play a game because it's family oriented they play it because it's a game and it should be fun. I suggested in my own thread on improving the repetitiveness of their quests.

Disney has to see that this game needs to also be for adults in someways too or a more mature audience and to at least have a server for them. For a child it's fine in fact even the repetitiveness it's great for a child helps them learn. But for someone like me it's not enough. I hope they listen to this thread dude I really do!

i got the ban the other day and i am positive it was from I am asssuming a young'n reporting me 4 not frnding him or crewing w/ him and explaining i like to play with grown ups.......

REALLY what kind of help could i be.....LOLOLOLLMBO...... in crew batlle or otherwise... to his knowledge the only thng i accomplished was how to use chat....he also bugged my other frnds and when we all decilined ... he went offf...that was the tip off he was a youngster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! becuz of his immaturity im convinced he reported me.... i have no other reason for 72 hr sentence... and follow the rules as vague as they r as close as i possibly can

*****************

now if they had a way to let us know who r the kids, even though that would still have probs at least we could see potential danger coming at us....lol....

i do play with kids sometyms to help them out but i always make it known im an adult and play mostly with adults( 17+)

[Captain Jessie Hawk]
