I HATE all the stalling that they're doing. One major update, followed by FOUR WHOLE MONTHS of minor updates / boring news. What we need is constant updates to this game, like other MMOs.

And I thought On Stranger Tides would bring some change in Disney's attitude towards this game... I waited this long...

If anything, I think this whole game needs a major reboot. It has so much potential, but so little players because of a community they slowly removed the element of fun from. D needs to look at Star Wars: the Old Republic. The effort put into that game - the trailers, game play, everything - is far better than what's done here.

Updates take a LONG while to happen. Release to early, a lot of bugs (Infamy). They have to get it just right timing so they iron out the bugs and not keep us waiting. Sadly, the ironing takes a while. Your dear Star Wars is most likely a game that doesnt have a lot of people playing, so they invest their money trying to get people to play. (trailers.) POTCO on the other hand is using their money to perform better updates then any other games, and therefore updates take longer. They use this 'boring news' as sort of a sneek peak on what is going to happen.

Have a nice day.

Hold on! First of all, No bad Mouthing Star Wars.
The Old Republic hasn't been released yet. Right now its on beta.

And all games have trailers. POTCO has one that had the Kraken in it. That's how they get people to play. Unfortunately STOR will destroy POTCO because its made by a company that all they make is video games, unlike POTCO. This is like comparing POTCO to the Zynga games. They release more but have no stories to their games.

And Midhav, i think the difference between this game and others is that, i think that other games may be peoples livestock. I think the POTCO staff look at this as a way to make extra money.

After POTCO 4, i think this game will get a TON of extra money. I think the game will boom like crazy, and it will catch up to other games.

The PotCo staff don't look it as a way to earn money. It's their bosses! And their bosses have shown us just how inefficient they can be. They could have pumped in more money so that us players can get CONSTANT updates, but that hasn't happened. We should be having a Raven's Cove every month! You're right that way.. It isn't important for them. It's just a side-way for earning money. And I even agree with your last line - I do HOPE that PotC 4's success brings some much needed attention to our beloved game.

That's as far as what you've seen in this game. I play RS too, and that large game has constant updates, and a constant value of players which support the game. What I'm talking about is the while that's taken for "the ironing". It only happens because they stall to work on a bigger update, that they'd complete only by the end of the three months time of stalling. My "dear Star Wars"? It should be my dear POTCO! SW:TOR is a game that is currently in BETA testing, and yet for the effort put into that game, the support and players that it has received completely minimizes PotCo's existence. I don't hate this game or anything, if that's what you're thinking. In-fact, I've played this since mid-2008, and I have yet to touch the Old Republic. While this game may be just some sidewalk for D to earn money, it's kinda obvious that a company as big as D (LucasArts? Maybe not THAT big) put in the much needed money for developing the Old Republic. The problem D has created with this game is the deficit of investment of both attention and money. And that results in the understaffed and underpaid devs resorting to such stalling tactics. Like SEAKING said, it's probable that POTC4's success will bring in what's needed for the proper development of this game. I only suggested a "reboot" because of the endless glitches the developers are facing while making this game.
Anyway, I like this 'Boring News' (lore) XD.

At this point, none of us really know exactly what's going on. We all have ideas, and some are closer than others, but Disney has their own story. Maybe there's a reason for all of this. Maybe not. Who knows? I guess we just have to wait.... and wait..... and wait......
