*Facepalm*

I have already stated that there is no system in place with this game. Its do your tasks, level up, and thats it. I'm not going to repeat myself.

I never said there needed to be a system. I for one, though, would like to see them make use of the content they already have.

Shucks, I'd be happy to do that even it it didn't help.

I never said there had to be one, there just isn't.

I won't pay for the game any longer due to the Linked accounts change. I can no longer play with the person I've been playing with for over a year due to our two pirates being on the same account. (We pay Unlimited Access on both accounts - just can't play together anymore)

My protest is not playing, and not paying. Disney really messed up this time, and hurt its family players the most.

Basil Dreadflint · #36 06-09-2009, 04:29 PM

Nelly,

Your situation is slightly different than most. You actually have the two paying accounts, but normally play 2 pirates on the same account, because that is where they were created, right? (Just clarifying.)

If that is true, you can contact Disney and have them separate the pirates into the two accounts. It takes a little time and effort on your part, and a little work on Disney's side, but it can be done.
Since they are both full access accounts, there will be no reduction in screen size, skills and abilities, or ships or anything else.

Call customer support and explain the situation. They can fix it for you.

Basil,

Thanks for the heads up on the moving pirates thing! That was my major concern was that all four of our pirates were under one account and so, my sons and I couldn't play together.

If I could split them two-two, then at least two of them or one of them and I could play at the same time. Need to tell more folks that!

Basil Dreadflint · #38 06-09-2009, 04:42 PM

Anytime!! Please understand that I myself have never moved any pirates from account to account. I am only relaying info that has been passed on to me. Best of luck and I hope it goes as smoothly as I have been told.

The real problem is for those who use only one Full Access account, and use a basic account and the tabs to access second or even third pirates on the full access. The idea of moving pirates to a basic account does them no good.

Captain Seaford · #39 06-09-2009, 04:43 PM

I don't think the Big D cares. All they want is money. The thing about me is that the game just gets so boring after a while.

Cannonfury · #40 06-09-2009, 04:50 PM

You can only move pirates to a unlimited account, which I think is wrong. They should make it where it can go to basic accounts too.

Eliza Creststeel · #41 06-09-2009, 06:16 PM

Basil,

I may consider uping our 2nd to an Unlmited account, but I will hold off and see if anything else 'new' is coming first.

Oh my goodness, thank you so much, you have no clue how long I have been looking for somebody with the sense to notice that. Knowing that, you can use it against people, and then, you can be a true pirates, great going.

Just adding to what Basil said a while ago about moving pirates. There was a thread made months ago about that, http://www.piratesonlineforums.com/f...ead.php?t=8943

Basil Dreadflint · #44 06-13-2009, 12:05 PM

EC and others,

I just got unlimited on m one basic account from the giveaway! I think maybe this isn't a pure coincidence that they are giving away 10,000 free one month subscriptions.

This afternoon, I will be contacting D to move 2 pirates from my 'real' unlimited account, to my 'free' unlimited account. (Now that my basic is temporarily unlimited, they should be willing to move the pirates.)

After that, and the free month is over, then I guess I'll have to decide if I should keep paying for the second unlimited account or not.

No, "protesting" isn't the way to go. There is no way any kind of "protest" could ever be big enough and significant enough to phase Disney. But not paying for the game (for whatever reason) isn't "protesting." Without being able to play my two pirates at once, I don't even want to play the game... so I stopped paying. That isn't protesting, it's common sense. Would you buy a new car just to let it sit indefinitely in your garage? Doubt it. Would you pay for a game you aren't going to play? I would certainly hope not. Those of us that stopped paying didn't do so just so we could stick our tongues out at Disney and say "that's what you get!", we stopped paying because the game is no longer worth our money, it's no longer benefiting us.

I also disagree 10,000% that players who stop paying hurt the game. If we bombard Disney with negative feedback about their updates (or lack thereof) but continue to pay and play as usual, why should they take us seriously? If they can upset HUGE numbers of players but still make their money, why pay attention to customer feedback? And as Sarah said, Disney has PLENTY of money, I'm sure the POTCO staff could care less if they have a few less paid subscriptions.

So what do you do to let Disney know that their game has gone down the toilet and has upset many of their customers? Whatever you feel you need to. For me, I sent them plenty of emails and grog blog/news comments. But words without backing actions are pointless. If we complain but still continue to send in our money, WE are the fools.

Does Disney care that Jason Davy isn't paying for their game anymore? Heck no. Did they pay the least bit of attention to ANY of my emails? Do they care about my opinion? Of course not. But I did what I had to do. I stopped paying for their game that they have clearly ruined for so many people in so many ways. I'm not making any difference at all and I realize that. The game is up to Disney - and the day they truly put their customers first is the day I'll give them my money again.
