Nuju has a point,I would like to see some more kinds of ships in the future myself.Especially brigs, more NPC ships ,as well as Ship Customization.I think Ship Custom. is coming:After that last sailing 'update' they did add a few good things,Ferrets have no broadsides wheras Sea Vipers do.

Back to topic here...(there are several other threads that have a debate type format).. you asked for ratings and what we would like to see.

When I started playing (Dec 2007), I would have given the game an "A+" (even with the major delay of the Boss Battle). But as the time passed, and friends stopped playing, I would have rated it at "B." Guilds had started dissolving and dieing even as early as 6 months after the release date. About 8-7 months into the game, I was introduced to a very active guild (The Elite Circle / Deuces Wild) that went out of the way to make the game fun. So my rating stayed the same for a long time. The fun that I had with friends made up for the lack of new story line content (and I consider content to be what is displayed in my log book...ie quests). We held several guild events to bring us together and keep us close (2 major guild scavenger hunts, lol..oxymoron alert.. organized afk push races, boating races, and relay races).

Over the past year, Disney has "simplified" the graphics on the three main islands when they did their island makeovers. I do keep all my settings on high. The atmospheric ocean/ sailing graphics have been fine, as well as on the wild island (fog, mist, swaying palm trees). But the graphics on the main islands have become static, no movement, the variation in color that give it depth is missing. My grading of the game slipped to a "C".

Now after two years, I give Disney / POTCO a "D." I have finally felt the disappointment that many expressed a year into the game. While other games have had entire expansion programming added to their gameplay, Disney has given us small bits and pieces with no clear focus. And to make this clear, I have no mastered pirates. My main pirate, the first one I made is still only a level 42 or 43, but I have no interest in grinding weapons just to make "Master."

This will be the last time I pay for my account unless they come up with content that has a purpose in expanding the game.

No replies needed folks. This is just my rating of the game.

I think about B+ because I like POTCO but we do need some changes as in pets and higher levels and weapon levels, and maybe even MORE weapons! Doesn't that sound like a good change?
