Pirates Online - Coming Soon!

[IceSphere]

I sent Feed Back to them asking why, after 3 "Chat/Games" they won't make their own Message Boards... We could get all the info we need about the game in real time... No changing HTML files and putting them back up. You just go make a post for an update... There are even some really nice boards that are Free, along with the web space to run them...

About the game... I can't help putting it side by side with Toon Town. The web page just makes it sound like POTC was going to be so much better (and also done by now)...

Are there basic parts of the game we still haven't seen? In Toon Town we had are own houese... Are all those empty shops in POTC just to slow us down? Or will we get to buy other things, and have a room on our ships to keep stuff in?

I sail solo (feels more like "Water World"), when you have a crew on all your cannons, do the cannons below deck show up like the Navy has?

My Pirates folder is getting closer to 400MBs... will it be an all day download like Toon Town?

It just feels more like they want us to get fed up, and go out and buy the game system versions of the game (Play Station)...

On the release date saga, they put it back twice now, no doubt they will do again, if needs be. So don't count on anything, like everything, its best to give general impression your on schedule and things are going as expected, even if this is not the case.

In gaming world it seems to be normal practice, a fair precentage of games get ther finishing date put back from initial estimate, many times seen on net game sites or magazine, game te released first quarter of the year, only then to get new annocement that its now second quarter or even third.

If how test is running at mo is anything to gauge how long till realease, you would have to say a while yet, but then maybe they are further along then we think and we arent seeing all the lastest on beta.

On lag issues, my biggest hope is that they are running on minimal server as they would on full release, in fact it seems to me that in last week lag got far worse. So maybe they are running minimal server status to test server stress a long term perecentage stress test. After all as someone else mentioned, they haven't done a stress test recently.

Well i hope so anyway.
