It simply will not let me log in. Keeps saying:

Could connect to gameserver.test.piratesonline.com.7676.
Try again?


I'm on a Mac and I've tried restarting, re-downloading, EVERYTHING I can think of but still no luck.

Anyone else having this problem? Anyone know how to fix it?

I know it's not top priority, but has anyone checked out the in cave dig spots? The Key in Tormenta at the end of the Pearl? The Scary Mary possessions? Others?

Just curious about where things might have moved, and how hard it will be to get to those places.

I found quite a few dig spots, but it wasn't my priority to find them. I had just been walking around and stumbled upon a few (not exactly the Key or possessions though).

I took screen shots.. but they didn't show in my folder..

According to Aliese/Piper, There's a new sub-folder that Disney puts the screenies in. Check her OP to find out more.

Only thing i can say is the COMPASS SUCKS. I want it to move with the direction my screen happens to be facing like before. Anyone remember they tried this before on the ship where it stayed the same direction your ship happen to be going? That was bad enough but not to have it fixed in one direction and you have to tell your brain which direction you are going.

I agree with wmah. I like the way it was before, made it less confusing, and was just simple.

Anyone has a shot of the new weapons? Did they added more skills to go along with the new rep?

For some reason, Mac users can't get onto game. I am on a Mac too and have sent many bug reports, and have asked friends who can get on game to send bug reports regarding this as well. Hopefully it will get fixed quickly.

I don't think the new weapons were added yet.. that may follow with the new quests. Plus, it would be mentioned in the updates if it were added.

Hating the compass too.

But I LOVE the new speedometer for the ships.

I have always hated the fact that the slightest little adjustment to your ship's direction scrubbed off all your momentum. But not any more. That alone is worth this month's 10 bucks.

The caves are AMAZING. Murky Hollow looks like Mordor. Dark, moody and damp. I liked what I saw of Tormenta too, but I stepped on a Brinescum's toe about 20 feet into the cave and he pasted me.

This one might just have been worth the wait... Going to wait and see.
