POTCO Dieing?

Beautiful letdown - can I ask a question? If you have so many issues with Disney games, why do you sign up for them? If they are as bad as you say, why keep playing them? there must be other games out there that would live up to your expectations?

I do play other games, but unless Disney does something big soon, then I'll keep playing if not then I won't.

simple answer for this.... don't make promises that can't be kept, pirates has such a future if disney get's the ball rolling. if not it will die out very soon like it or not, and as for the casual gamer remark this game was designed for childern but adults enjoy playing as well and i relaly think disney should relize this and update to make everyone happy.

I think that the game is geared more towards the casual gamer. The ones who play when they have a little time. Not so much for the gamer who sits down for 5 hours a night. One of their loading screen tips is to quit and go outside after 2 hours. I'm a casual adult player who has been on Pirates for about 2 months. I still find the game fun and always have something to do because I don't play the game to death. I only have 1 pirate (Lvl15) and am only 1% done with the Black Pearl Quest....though admittedly not really trying on that. I think a lot of people are in the same boat (maybe aside from the lack of any BP completion).

Disney is well aware of the fact that many adults play this game....just as they know many adults go to Disney World. I'm sure they're trying and I'm sure a lot of the devs are saddened to see their hard work malfunctioning and by not getting updates out on time.

You people act like Blizzard has never lied to you about dates

Yea but! eglease they have the curtisy of sayin "the date change due to blah"

and when they make an update like maintence or such they always update there release notes as any other game does or annouces, even those big korean mmorpg's when they make an update they annouce what they fix, and what they did, POTCO works on something and doesnt even inform it's players, for reasons unknown.

the un noted maintence are alway's glitch fixes, i mean those that use them can't lie after a maintence the glitches are gone. i'd say the reason it's never posted is because they are probably just waiting to see who try's the glitch again so they can ban em..

POTCO is for ages about 8-12. The gameplay isn't going to be that great nor the quests. I think it's a good game in its own category, but if you compare it to WoW or LOTRO, it sucks.


This is a game directed towards beginning gamers. Every game Disney has made has been that way. But companys such as Blizzard and Turbine make games for hardcore gamers.


Personally, I would prefer LOTRO over this game any day, mainly because the level of gamer it's aimed for.

Also, POTCO quests are casual quests and don't take alot of time. Other quests in hardcore MMOs take hours to do.

It just depends on what type of gaming you like... Hardcore or Casual. ( I vote hardcore! )
