IS POTCO better now that it was in 2007?

[The Skirata Clan]

It probably did. The Boss Battle Hiatus is what I remember the most.

[Catherine Ironcutter]

I.... didn't play in 2007. So yeah. But it's definitely better than it was even when I made Emily in May of '10.

I have had my Piratesonline account for like three years. I went a few times in the old days, but have only actually started playing recently.
Seeing the deference from the old days when I rarely went on, I can tell that it is much much better now.

I wish the game still had the old islands, permanent music, and yes the figure heads and holes in sails. But with a twist, the updates keep coming in as they do now.

well i guess its in the middle rly bc of kings :'( my favorite place to play grenade games old times..........

Well, I started in 2008 so I don't know about the 2007 game, but up to now I guess there are some good things like invasions, drops, and the higher levels.

Personally, I think it got worse as you became a higher level. Things just got too easy. I miss the thrill of being level 20 and going to (old) Tormenta and killing a level 30 dreg.

That is true, I also liked going to Isla Tormenta when I was a lvl 20 with my friends and we would take out lvl 40s. Good times,good times.

I have noticed many pirates that have been gone from game, for quite a spell, returning & having a great time.

This is true as well. But how many of them still think it is fun?

A perfect example is a person in my guild who has not played since early 2008, he had maxed everything when he left but I am a higher level than him because the level cap back then was 30. He was truly amazed by the the changes they had made to the game, and said it was "Like a whole new game". It is kind of weird thinking that you can master a game, then come back three years later and have to relearn it.

I think this game is still a baby. The game has progressed but by very little stuff has been added to gain a lot of attention from the old players. Almost all the new things added the past year have been broad ideas and nothing specific. I think Disney needs to make polls by emailing players or some other way to ask what ideas to add and what to remove. Like Kat said above on the BAD list, Most of that we weren't asked if it would make us players happy to remove/replace. One thing that has remained same and is very important is skills and i think players NEED to have some new permanent skills for all weapons.

Long story short, The game has remained about the same due to the fact that a lot of things were removed( like see people on other ships without asking player's opinions and didn't make players happy), added new stuff(like bosses and more weapons which made some players happy), and replaced some of the old things(like remodeling the isles which is not really progress and didn't change what players think about the game much).

lol... if he had come back at the level 40 cap, mastered, then come back at the level 50 cap, he could have mastered three times! cool

lol... 2007 is my current amount of health.

Ah, well, the only way we can change the social aspect of POTCO is by getting a better mod team...

OLDKind of bad)
(some of these facts are from beta, fyi)
*Launch ship off any dock: ok, tons of bugs
*could swim to others islands: ok, tons of bugs as well
*Dock ships in port forever (ships will stay there untill sunk): hated it
*Enemies on enemy ships actually fired the cannons (not just the cannons moving like ghosts are moving them) and enemies "taunting" us in fight.
*Literally no weapons to use.
*Got boring quick, but updates were more frequent
* Old islands: will be missed

NEW (good)
*CLOTHING AND WEAPON DROPS
*Raven's Cove
*Blackbeard
*Invasions
*Fleets
*Bosses and boss battle
*SOTL
