Limited Time - Clear The Decks for Flatulent Fizz‏

[Freedomna]

Why would Disney do this? It Pirates of the Caribbean Online not Pirate Who Do Not Use Gas-X Online. This "Potion" would be better on toontown in my opinion (farts are crude humor and most kid cartoons have crude humor in it). I do know this is a kids game but Disney should have some respect to the older crowd also. (Pirates of the Caribbean was a PG-13 movie...).

Edit: I read through the thread, both sides have very good points. However as a roleplayer this is a serious immersion killer. Maybe farting free servers or something? (Beside the dead servers of course)

You got me there, and I have to agree that POTCO has been making some very strange choices. But I shall remain loyal to the game... The world is becoming a strange place, its already bad enough that they got this kind of stuff in cartoons o_o
So from cartoons..... To games?

I agree and disagree on many of the things you guys are saying. Sure, it is a little rediculous that they put out a farting potion, but who cares. I really don't think it's a big deal at all and don't quite understand your anger at this. If you don't like, than you don't have to participate. BUT for some, it is enjoyable and funny. I'm not saying that I'd laugh, and it may just be the child in me, but farts are funny. For those of you think that it is the end of the world when a natural bodily function takes place, that happens to make a funny sound, maybe you just need to take a chill pill. I mean really? We're going to fight over every little new article that Disney, a company that is directed toward a younger audience, puts out? And some kids do have manners and etiquette, but I wouldn't want mine to be a stiff. Kids are kids, and things that adults might not understand to be funny, are most certainly funny to them.

That is just my opinion, and I'm not trying to offend/or take stabs at anyone, but seriously, get over it.

I think that you are way off base if you think that we are fighting or that I am angry at this. I agree farts are funny. And everyone releases them. I agree that some kids have manners. However most don't have them. Kids are kids yes and Disney is directed towards a younger audience. I just can't remember a Disney cartoon or ride that promotes poor manners. Funny is funny regardless of ages. That doesn't mean its correct. By that statement I guess that the next step for POTCO is introducing kicks to the groin.

The potion is already there. The main point is why waste time promoting and introducing things that will annoy others and are pointless while they can do so much better as far as small content and entertainment.

I agree, I wouldn't want my kids to stiff kids either, however I would want my kids to be farm animals either.

That one wouldn't be a bad idea actually. With this one, we could properly "express" our gratitude to the GM's during one of their events for the lack of a proper second story chapter. We would be sent to jail after doing this, but maybe they would start getting the message. Maybe.

I think some of the french undead kick so... they could work that in with a little effort

Or perhaps a wedgie as a special attack.

I'm not looking for a fight here. When I first saw the potion, I was disgruntled at the fact it was introduced with the new update. I understand that to some people it is amusing. What bothers me is that young kids see this, and then mimic what they see in game in real life. When I see kids who intentionally pass gas or burp out loud to be obnoxious and to get a reaction I question what kind of behavior that will lead to in the future.

Either way, the potion is already in the game. Fine. I've adapted. I avoid crowded servers and lower the volume when I hear it. But I believe I am still entitled to voice my disapproval of this potion just as you are entitled to your opinion.

Bottom line, I don't see how this potion deserved encouragement through advertising.

[Jamesvsthekraken]

This is ridiculous, we should be getting codes for something less kidish.. sorry but i'm just saying :/

[Nelly Darkpaine]

Just more proof that this game is going to heck in a handbasket. =(
Used to LOVE Pirates Online, now I can't even stand logging on for 5 minutes due to stuff like this. Bad move.

[Edward Edgemenace]

The current development team is trying to see just how much they can get away with. Sadly, there is nothing to curtail their irrational decisions, that are getting worse and worse. Why they needed to add more lag and 5-15 second game freezes, for this, is a mystery to me. I guess I just can't appreciate their genius.

Perhaps they've gotten it out of their system, with all this. Perhaps they will now sit down to some real development, now that they have gotten their way. Until then, I'll be holding my breath (but not in anticipation.)

Sorry if I'm breaking my one year "exile" from Pirates Online (not because of updates, but RL), I just thought I'd reply to the comments left by some of you. From what I can see, some of you are saying that kids actually find this funny. Let me get this straight for you, but I AM a kid. I know of no one but irrational idiots who find fart jokes funny. No one from my age, as far as I can remember. the only people who WOULD laugh at this, are some five year olds who know the meaning of the word. No family friendly game should put this in it if they want children to learn something or the other. From my point of you, even if I did have the Flatulence potion, I would immediately dump it in the disgrace the adults working there have shown to children. Aren't they targeting 10 year olds? I know I'm a few years older, but it just isn't right, even for me if I was that age.

Please note that this ' new potion ' is a regular flatulence fizz. This is nothing new and you only get one. If you can't handle it take off the volume.

[gingeeann]

At least you cannot smell it .
