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

[Angel]

I agree. Just as in TT, have the chat limited on the younguns to standard chat, and no gettin around the chat filters. Parents when you sign your child up please turn on parental controls. Not only does this help us know who is a minor and what not, but it will also keep the "bad pirates" from being able to chat the wrong things to them and where they can hear them.

Minors MUST have the plus sign in the chat box to hear a convo. As it is right now its only for local and whispers, but it should be in crew as well.

What some of you are saying, like respelling things, was what turned another game I played into a nightmare. This is a E 10+ game, but do you hear Captain Jack swearing after school? Nope. I like this game and I just don't want it to go to waste because some people want to use language in the game just because their ship sunk...I mean, come on, your ship sinks and you swear, and then you go to jail and do it all over again? Why can't you just take the swearing part out and everyone can play? I just really like this game and I don't want my mom to look at it and say I can't play because a few people want to use language all the time...I have fun and I don't want to quit just yet.

Personally, I [Expletive Deleted] don't [Expletive Deleted] give a [Expletive Deleted] about [Expletive Deleted] no [Expletive Deleted] [Expletive Deleted] [Expletive Deleted] swearing.



Seriously. Potty-mouth can be checked at the load screen. It isn't needed in-game.

HOWEVER, I'd like to be able to have a conversation in the game, with an ADULT, about the freakin' game WITHOUT having to find some way of circumventing the capricious, and highly uneven chat filters. Literally, there are times I can NOT say something, five minutes later I can, five minutes after that, I can't again.

And this is in private chat to another adult player.

Seriously. Woodruff's Tortugan Freebooters!

Literally, you can't express levels in the game. Or how many points you have left to a level.

You can't say "cell" even though you've got jails.

Heck, you can't even help people having problems with their computer sometimes! One of my guild officers was having lockups all the time on her system. Turned out to be a Vista machine with only 512MB of RAM on it.



Couldn't ask her to reboot. Couldn't say "Windows".

And, as has been noted before. This lovely chat filter prevents guilds from telling each other about their guild website/forums. In order to get my officer the URL for ours, I had to go through fairly amazing contortions, since after a while you couldn't say DOT.

Anyhoo, she's fixed now, recommended a 2GB RAM upgrade and that cleaned her problems up (Vista+Insufficient RAM+Memory Leaks Out The Ying Yang=bad Pirates Experience) and she claims that her machine is like a different beast now.



I'm not saying that Disney needs to drop and spread for the pervs or anything to improve the game. Just recognize that there are a significant number of adult players and conversations more sophisticated than "Gonna smoosh a skeleton" are going to happen.

I agree. Perhaps just lowering the Disney guard a bit might help - I'm sure we know the supposed consequences of letting out our names and e-mail addresses on the internet, after all, we are (or at least some of us are) mature people.

not all of want to use foul language when talking to other adults. Please don't generalize that that is the motive , I could not even type the word EAST which is a navigational term, i could not type the word commerce or Harley as in bikes or tap as in water for petes sake i tryed to address someone by thier Disney pirate name and it wouldn't allow Lighten up not all adults are foul mouthed spazoids

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS TO ME. of course, we've all learned to deal with it, but in a game of half or mostly adults, something seriously has to give. adult servers would be a dream come true... assuming we could say what we want. sheesh......

there are a ton of words that wont show up when the filter is off. considering that it is mostly adults on this thread, i think its pretty safe to say that 1- we KNOW what safe chat is and 2- we dont have it on.

I agree with Wolfson and DarkScarlett. Swearing has NOTHING to do with it. I don't want to swear in the game. I just want to be able to get one sentence across. I've had trouble recently trying to say "paranoid" and "got laid off", as in at work. Maybe paranoid was unnecessary, but we're making new friends in this game, and friends like to know what's going on with other friends' lives. I could have used a little sympathy when I got laid off, and it would have helped my friends understand why I've changed the hours I usually play pirates.

[Bonnylass64]

I am an adult and am not opposed to there being an "adult" server. But I for one don't go giving out my email addresses to people I'm talking with in an online game. How well do you know these guys anyway? I'm for more ability to have adult conversations and such, but I would not personally give out ID's and things like that unless it was to someone I knew in RL. Just my opinion.

[Angel O`bones]

I am a grandma and have children and granchildren who play,
I love the GAME and would really like the possibility of 18+ game. There are times I would like to chat with other adults and not have to be with the kids listening , not that I say anything they could not hear but just for the grown_up aspect of it.
If Disney listens I sure hope many many of us tell them our thoughts

I have zero interest in using profanity in the game. If I want to swear, I express it verbally or via inner monologue in the privacy of my home. No harm done. I don’t think the option of being able to type profanity should ever be considered as it is completely unnecessary in my opinion. Yes there are subjective things in the game however a line must be drawn at some point.

This is about not being able to carry on a normal conversation about daily events, favorite movie lines, etc. Whatever the topic might be it is extremely difficult to communicate the way the chat interface is currently setup. It is quite aggravating when someone has no clue what you are saying because they missed what you typed somewhere in the conversation. It doesn’t always tell you what was blocked. Sometimes I see what I typed but nobody else does. Other times I don’t see it and assume nobody else did. This can create some frustrating situations in chat sessions. It would be nice if there were other options available. I enjoy this game very much and will deal with the bugs and restrictions with the anticipation that improvements will be made. Feedback does make a difference.

I agree.

I think chat could be changed a bit to fix those problems but I'll get back on topic.
An adult server...
The game was made for children not adults who want to talk about life. Profanity should never be used in a game what-so-ever.
If you mention an adult server to disney I doubt they'd give you any response.
The game was made for kids, adults can play it just the same, end of story.
It was really made for all age groups but not for what all age groups do.
If you want to use profanity, say it in your head. At least no one has to hear or read your horrible vocabulary.
