All Things Good About Disney!

[Poison elf]

Umm, wait I am thinking.

Disney could make a couple movies like pirates with major special effects in about a year.
OK just joking.

I feel about like what Basil posted. Some of us have stuck it out, because we like things we have seen in the game. Part of this development is participation with others in such things from a ship run for gold, to a Boss Battle and your crew just squeaking through with a success.

Other times it is laughing at your guild mate that just finally got a rare clothing drop, but that pink shirt just doesn't seem to fit his macho attempt at a pirate.

Other times it is helping someone just get through something they have attempted sometimes many times, and the gratitude they feel.

Its the amazement perhaps when you show someone a better way when frustrated with skill leveling, to just a flying glitch.

Many of us play with many different styles, if its from leveling fast to socializing, and that freedom to what interests you.

All of us like to think of our guilds as the greatest. A aspect I find fun in competitiveness. This would be where I would perhaps fall under the most. If someone smokes ya with cutlass with some trick, I will sit for days figuring out to counter it, and let others know in the guild.


Solo play many times figures out tricks and better methods of game play, to me a plus.

I like learning what something actually does and its benefits. This would be open fire in svs for example, before a time meter was on it.

Many times as I think already posted, it is a escape or stress release. If it was from getting yelled at by a boss today, to being yelled at by a parent, head into two enemy ships and let em have it.

There are different aspects to fit different interests. Sailing, melee battle, clothes, jewelry, tattoos, quests, and to a extent challenging challenges.


I think everyone who has negative to positive issues likes the game/Disney, but doesn't mean there are not frustrations over things. I as well agree with what Basil said to the ending of his post. I do not want the biggest percentage of what I feel a plus to end.

To keep this plus some still have in friends and guilds, It should be voiced.

POTCO has been my escape from RL for over a year, I've met a lot of more than AWESOME people here thanks to it. I just love the spirit of competition that you can find NO WHERE else in a game. The adventure not found with quests or leveling up with friends has made itself very worthwhile. Did I mention the great people here?

Great idea posting this, E!

Great point it has made an escape from real life and i had somewhere to go when VMK closed.

There are 10 posts in front of this one, and, without exception, the primary thing mentioned is that everyone is so glad for the great friends and fantastic people that they have met. (Personally, I don't see how Disney gets the credit that people were raised properly and have great personalities, but hey....) I to have made some great friends, and even consider my guildmates to be extended family members. We care about each other, and worry if someone is missing for any period of time. (OK, so if the game didn't exist, I probably would never have met them. For that, I thank Disney.)
But only one post contains anything SPECIFIC about "All things good about DISNEY" and it is about something that is coming up, not out now.

Here's what's GREAT about POTCO:
It is an MMOG that is:
A) Very easy to use, the controls are simple to learn and it does not require an inordinate amount of multi-keystrokes to accomplish.
B) Fairly inexpensive, and has no start up fees.
C) FUN!!!
D) Very interactive, encouraging group play but allowing solo play at the same time.
E) Based on a theme that encourages people of like mind to be involved. If a person doesn't like Pirates, they probably aren't going to be here.
F) Has content that is entertaining for players of all ages.
G) Allows people to progress at their own pace, and in their own fashion.
H) There is no RIGHT or WRONG way to play the game. One person may favor sailing and sea battles, another may lean toward Questing.
I) Provides hours and hours of variation. (Escapism, to borrow from Savvy's post.)
J) Doesn't require players to go out and buy "ADD-ONS"


I can probably list a few more things, but I'll leave that for others.

You see, I don't HATE the game, I hate the fact that so many of our friends are leaving the game. And I'll leave the rest of want I want to say for in the other thread.

I agree with all of this

I love the game for the stress relief. With my job, I need humor when I'm at home to balance out the the crummy stuff I deal with.

And the friends I've made here.. well ... they certainly supply me with that.

And like Poison Elf expressed, I also love that I can play alone if I want.

Lol.. I can play alone and still be entertained by the chat.

BTW Zep ..Loved it..."their billing system is good."

I haven't experienced the benefits of their bill collection system yet (paid by the year last time). But I do know for a fact that their Australian Paypal collection ain't working too swift.

They made a great choice to have Johnny Depp play jack sparrow cuz he is soooo sexy! lol And I love this game!! I read about all these people who has complaints but I personally haven't experienced anything that bothered me much. Probably just how it lags sometimes but I think thats just my pc itself. Thank you Disney!

Wow! This was a great topic. I was beginning to think that a good portion of the Pirate Population was going to disappear.
We all may have gripes with the game in one fashion or another, but it's good to see a "glass half full" approach. (Full of what? Rum? What an idea! Thanks I think I will!)
