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

[benngunn]

if an adult server is created tho, kids will change their age to get in (i think)

also its more likely that adults will PAY for the game, kids on teh other hand hvae to use their parents (in most cases) to pay so there are prolly more unlmited adult gamers tha kids

[thefadedrose]

The only way I found a way around all this is to intentionally misspell words. For instance "Windows" ? I type in Winndows or however you want to do it. I just put in an extra letter and do it that way. Of course I let the peeps know that I am misspelling on purpose so they dont think I am an idiot. LOL! We all do this in our guild. Some peeps put one letter in at a time but I dont have the patience for that.

[Chris]

only time i feel like swearing in the game is when some person comes along and starts yelling at me or something

an example of these people is when i was trying to film the 4th fireworks he kept running infront of me i said VERY nicely could u please stop i am trying to get a film of the fireworks, he says nothing, then he starts running into me and standing right behind me (which would make is head take up my screen) at that point that guy i wanted to sweat his but down for being abnoxious anyway i think he got bored and left before the fireworks started and if he did it during the firework disney would have to make a new ban just for me bc it was my only chance all week to tape the firworks and if that guy messed it i may be banned for 999999 years but at least id have my video

[Capt. Widowmaker]

I can FULLY back u up. I am sick and tired from thinking when i chat (in whatever mode):
"is this word, phrase or hint gonna suspend me" ?

I find it FULLY agreeable that disney do ev'thing they can to protect children, since abusers will do
what they can to find the playgrounds for kids. Said that, it on the other hand does NOT look like
we as adults have any rights ... having an adult server and where kids won't pester us.

* I have had one warning (me language) for being furious because a player did whatever he could
to sink me 'n crew having the most loveable numbers of royals in our cargo hold. I wrote disney
and suggested that we could plank crew'ers that provoked.
(I have since the new test server informations were released, found out that they grant me SIX wishes,
so i surely hope this is ONE of them !) ... that means i can simply kick a player off ship - either planked
or i can auto teleport them to port of call - without any infuriated conduct.

* I have now had three suspensions in one month: Fair and reasonable since i obviously violated
the rules - last one yesterday and still missing a reason.

But what I to some extend can't accept - is the fact that we don't have an adult server where
we can exchange -e-m-a-i-l- .d.r.e.s.s.e.s. (encrypted like in the game - but they snoop it up
since i without any doubt had my chat monitored by a staff member at least twice).

After all it's a social game where u not only play against other humans, but certainly interact
with them and twice now i have met soulmates. Of course we want to friend each other and
talk outside game, but we have NO way to exchange information.

Honestly .. the suspensions is me own fault: first suspension was 72 hours because of
e-mail handed over to another player (adult, mature and grown up etc...)

Second i must admit i used explicit hinted words related to grown up activities:
Suspension one
week ago, but only 24 hours since i am doing it elegantly.

Now one week after, suspension again 24 hours. NO direct words, NO explicit use of foul words,
etc ... but i did encrypt an e-mail address. NO way they could have sniffed
up that thru technical or software related word monitors. They simply have watched a
private conversation in whisper mode.

I feel abused and more than Big Brother'd ... like they to any extend want to control my behaviour.

>

So conclusion and some questions:

Yes an adult server IS needed. After all we the adults prob. pay for most of the unlimited accounts.
I am NOT talking exchanging explicit words or bahaviours
... i am simply talking about a way to make outside friendships.

Questions:

* How many times can an account be suspended before it possibly gets perma terminated ?

* If i want player friends to be outside friends ... will a hint about this site (where i can be
freely e-mailed) suspend me ?

* Is it considered personal info if i either in non-encrypted text write the URL to this site
(or do so encrypted and hope they don't monitor or watch conversation) ... in other words:
Any hints about this site - can it suspend me ?

* If so, anybody have a hint of how to inform player friends that they can find me here ?
... Like: I intentionally mention issue of lack of adult server, and write to an ingame friend:
"Well i have posted my thoughts about the issue on a forum where many players meet.
It's like some sort of a pirates online forum, where we discuss many issues, exchange ideas
and interact".

Could this phrase: pirates online forum - suspend me ?

I am too old to take this giant crab (on purpose typo - i don't want to be suspended
in here also LOL)

>

Help wanted and needed, otherwise i might simply leave the game , but the game has
great potential

Thx mateys and may weight o' ye gold pile in cargo hold be greater than the floating abilites o' ye ship ... if sum can sort this out.

Capt, I have never had a problem with saying piratesonlineforums or pirates on line forums in game. Perhaps the big D likes the site

As for a perma-ban from Disney, I think the magic number is seven, but it also depends on the severity of rule breaking. I imagine they could drop you after just one if you were "naughty" enough. In thier eyes, we are all 13.

Let's keep hoping for a grown up playground.

Foist to akamystic & MacIronhawk ... profanity is not an option, and i agree. Said that i read
that we adults have zero options but have to accept being treated like kids. that's a bad attitude.
If Disney is only running it's activities for kids ... they are way outta line: Violence (no gore i admit that),
eerie and sinister phenomenon 'n atmotphere's - swearing and drunkards.

What I simply want (and do you really find that unreasonable ?) an option to invite a game
friended player to chats outside the game. Simple as that !

>

As to Sarah me dear ... TY and *bows* in a pirate'd manner with me feathered hat thrown skyhigh
in dedication to you and your attitude:

I wish u gold piles aboard ur ship topped and so huge that they may sink you. I was looking for a
sane solution and hoped i could use the answer. I def can !

I have 40k i want to get rid of ingame. U want them ? - i have many a time sat down losing fortunes
in poker - i hate money cap - but at least it seems the D company listened to me wishes
and granted me new ways to waste me money. I can always relocate rep's so i can change my
reputation from being notorious to infamous.

Yes why shouldn't WE as adults don't have any rights? We DO pay real money after all.

I know that restrictions on possible adult servers may be as tight as on the kiddo servers as they
are now, and mayhaps once in awhile a kiddo slips thru to an adult server - but on the other hand
... if security is as TIGHT as it is now - i'm sure they can handle that also.

I'll try the piratesonlineforum in plain text and see whut happens. It seems that i have 4 suspensions
(pirate lives) left before i am dumped into the abyssal davy jones annihilation & oblivion locker.

Great - thanks me temporary friend.

P.s. if u want the money (or know some that need them) i can most o' the time be found on abassa
dancing around and between player ships wrecking havoc and mayhem - and after a short while
dive deep in a blaze and with style ... that's me LOL.
Feel free to disturb me and cause me lose my concentration - smiles

And what do you base this on? I see absolutely no facts to support your statement. Content, advertising, the POTC franchise all together. Sorry matey. Just because Disney makes alot of kids games doesnt mean this was one of them. Trix are for kids... POTC is for the family audience (this includes adults).

I was told by a Customer Service manager that I was 13 as far as they treat all members, I repeat ALL MEMBERS. Yet they require payment from ADULTS (other than game cards). Go figure. I think this is because thier moderation staff covers all thier games, not just POTC and they havent figured out how to approach 2 different standards.

I contradict myself a lot but what I say last is what I mean.

I also haven't seen facts that say it was made for families but that's just me.
I do know the game doesn't target just adults but families.(kids and adults but without adult material like blood, etc..
If it did I bet we would have an emotion to drink rum, etc...
I still think an adult server would be out of the question. If disney's a company that is based for families then an adult server seems out of the question.

I see posts saying that say disney is zero-tolerance.
I want to agree with that but I can't. (I'm going to contradict myself)
In MY opinion if it was zero-tolerance we wouldn't be able to type in short forms of bad words to be rude to people.
Disney could have been smart and made it so that wasn't possible but it is.
While they are zero-tolerance they're not smart enough to make sure people can't get around using profanity in short form.
If I had a game that targeted families then the first thing I would do is make sure that text profanity and regular profanity for chat wasn't possible.

An adult server isn't needed. Talking to someone about real life isn't needed. Using numbers wouldn't be needed if quest speedchat phrases changed for how many enemies you need defeated instead of how many you started out with needing to be defeated.
Tell me again why you need to use numbers other than for talking about defeating enemies and/or rep?

Depending on how many times you've been suspended and why, your account can get a permanent ban in three suspensions or up to even ten.

There isn't a need for an adult server. This is a family based game and whatever you say to other adults in the game you should be able to say to the younger players. It'd be a waste of Disney's money and it would really put a big frown on their family based reputation.

If you want an adult server on POTCO ask yourself this, "What would Disney's reply be if I asked?"

Talking about other stuff besides quests is a part of the game. If it wasn't, there would ONLY be speedchat.

Making friends and having conversations is an important part of the game to many of us. Without the ability to talk to my friends about what I CHOOSE, I probably would have quit long ago.

This is not factual, and an assumption you have made, based on.. well I dont know what it was based on to be honest. Because its a Disney game?

If the game was made specifically for anything, it was made specifically for FAMILY. If it were made for kids, they would have had to remove alot of the content already in the game as some of the subject matter is not kid friendly. Think about it...

Who promotes gambling playing blackjack and poker to kids?
Who promotes kids making rum?

Have you taken a close look at the 'toons' in this game? Ever watch a girl pirates hips when they walk in the game? Have you read into the 100's of lines of story the slight innuedos suggesting adult subjects? (the thing here, is alot of kids just dont get them)

No, this is NOT designed strictly for kids.


No, sorry, you want a game made for kids that adults do play, try ToonTown.

Seems obvious to me that POTCO was designed to be enjoyed by the whole family. Adults that want to converse their adult talk while playing the game arent being adult enough to obtain easy to find alternatives that can work WITH the game (ie alternate chat/voice systems) allowing them to control their own communicative content.

Many guilds use voice servers these days, and they are cheaper than the game itself. Anyway, adult only servers just creates more logistic problems. I for one have younger friends I would like to continue to play with, and im sure there are many adult players that are in the same situation. We wouldnt want to have to make the choice of playing with our adult friends, or playing with our youthful friends. This also would simply encourage younger players to LIE about their ages, which already takes place as it is. No, adult only servers sound good to many, but it really hasnt been thought out by those that want them. If you want pursue adult behavior in your online gaming, play a game that allows it, and not a family based game.

Might as well start signing petitions for them to reshoot, and release an R/NC-17/X rated version of Pirates of the Caribbean movies... lol which makes no sense.

I think you just killed the thread right here dude...like you did with my thread...ALL HAIL ZEPPERS!! the master of negotiation!

this thread

but in reality DANG!! 10 pages long and still no adult servers...what has it been? 2 years now? maybe??....time to bring this fight to the grog blog and support tickets!

Zeppers I can't give you a cookie so if your of legal age im going to you this cheers man! well done!

Ok first of all you need to change your perspective of what kids play.

Im only in my mid teens and I think a D average student in middle school can figure out alot of words in the game. Belive me kids play much worse game than this like Call Of Duty 4, Dead Space, and World Of Warcraft that shows blood and guts violence. As for saying that kids cant understand words in the game thats arrogant thinking because dont judge a book by its cover because like a said before alot of kids can understand what defeat means.

No offense to you im just saying you kinda have a wrong perspective of what kids cant understand and thinking that they still hang out at nick.com

Plus, the game is rated E10+ which means Yes, its desingned for kids and mid teens.

You don't and shouldn't have to talk about your personal life in a game. I certainly wouldn't want to talk about my real life in a game.

Discussing real life doesn't mean discussing PI. A friend was telling me yesterday about his son's baseball team doing well. Do you see a problem with that?

You have already stated elsewhere that

so with all due respect, no argument you may have regarding chatting in the game can be considered valid, in my opinion.

Not true, the rating means that it is SUITABLE for players 10+.
