Yes, there are players leaving the game every single day. There are old timers letting their accounts go to basic, but in a lot of cases, they are just saving money until new content is released, then they will return in droves.

The guild you are in is one of those who are still growing and active. Those players (we) are the hardcore, long term players who truely enjoy the game and just need to voice our frustration on Disney for what we see as a lack of activity on their part in providing the content that would retain all of our friends.

Trust me when I say that there are those who won't quit playing until Disney shuts down the very last server! They just don't have to be satisfied with how Disney handles it.
Ditto... from me.

Liz, we keep on playing because we actually do enjoy the game... but more importantly we enjoy the friendships we have formed.

I'd still be here til the last server closes. After that, I'd just go back to my Sid Meier's Pirates game. (Love that little game.)

We just get frustrated with the so-called improvements. It just appears to be a waste of the developer's time... when what we want is content, not window dressing.

I dont like being negative about the game i'd grown to love.
The problem is, that Disney lives in a bubble, and they tend to ignore any negative feedback and focus on the small bit of positive feedback as if its all there is, and gleefully move forward with their false sense of accomplishment.

Without the community raising enough feedback to get their attention, they will continue to live happily in their bubble. We need to be strong as a community to break them out of the pattern, and set things straight.

No, I dont like being negative, but it seems to be the only way to get the points across to Disney.

Every new update has simply become akin to a street corner display of a dancing monkey. We're in awe at the spectacle as it dances it's little dance, and then eventually steals money while we're mesmerized for a few minutes. The hypnotic allure quickly wears off, and we're left with utter disappointment and feeling robbed.



Dance little monkey, dance.

A pirate's life contains ups and downs. Whether you find your booty or not. Sometimes the wind be on your side or against you. Others may leave but what others are doing aren't always right. If there's a will there's a way. Who knows? Maybe disney is just making the 4th movie, then again the turn of the tide.

Hopes up people. The world is still nt on its end.ü

Dear Disney,

I would like another quest to do on POTC, not a small clothes quest, or Happy Father's Day quest. I would like a REAL quest, like black pearl, or even something similiar to a weapons quest. I pay you guys n' gals in Disneyland/World, I would like something back. Don't re-name enemies either, bring something new, one on one with Jolly Roger or Black Pearl vs Kraken?

Yours Hopefully.
A Pirate.

I would LOVE ship cutomization. I also wish I could make a Guild sig and put it on the back of my ships. New ship types would be good too. Desicions, desicions. My guild is doing pretty good. I make everyone an officer because I mainly take in baby pirates and I take in responsible pirates.

Not to be a downer, but a GM insinuated the Kracken is NOT coming. When asked, he said something along the lines of 'The Kracken be merely a rumor, nothing more.'

=(

A rumor perpetuated by Disney. Let's hope Mr. GM was wrong... -_-

Who ever dug this thread up...? Oh well!

Yes i was there when the GM said that. I am SO glad he did. The reason for the celebration was the Brethren Feast
where we were supposed to celebrate our victory. Jolly Roger has now been driven off from Port Royal.

When people start asking that same old, probably many thousand times asked, irrelevant question of course they
give you an answer like that. What else did you expect? They have told us, many times that the Kraken IS coming, i
don't see why that question is such an obsession! It's just the same if people were asking "Why do we have a sword?"
"Well, we have a sword so that we could fight!" After the 20 000nd time of the exact same question i personally
would just ignore the question completely, or give another answer, a different one, since the first answer just wasn't enough.
"Why do we have a sword?" "....So that we could plow the land with it!!!"
See my point?

I am 100% sure that the Kraken IS coming, but it will be introduced to the game when it is the right time. You don't
open your Christmas presents in June, do you? (hehe, best example i got? Yep!)

So let that question go, i know he said that but this was a role playing event after all.. I hate to repeat it but the GM Events
are not Q&A sessions

And... If Disney hasn't said anything about them forgetting all about the Kraken in their official pages, then the Kraken
really IS coming, eh?

I love your level-headed approach to commenting on this whole Kraken thing. I have NEVER understood the obsession that the Kraken has become. Yes it is a very cool idea and yes there have been clues left (Seemingly) forever. But if we have learned ANYTHING about POTCO, it's this: It will get here when it gets here.

In the mean time, my children...play well, have fun and save the drama for your mama...

hmmm..... Jeanne is right.... I believe that after PDF invasion of Dec, they will release the New Loot and Inventory system, followed by Ship custom and then maybe new storylines. But anything is possible, such as redesigning of wildies, forests, etc or whatever was concluded in the LA conference or pirate lairs, etc. Wait and see. I even sent a feedback thing about the kraken to potco. The GM told me in the grog blog, that the new loot and inventory will release by the end of the year. So once the invasions areover i guess it will happen...
