I've moved on. After my guild lost activity, there really wasn't very much left for me in this game, and since POTCO hasn't updated since, there isn't very much reason for me to consider going back. I play some other games, but I am not truly attached to any of them as I was to POTCO. I have; however, hit one of those points in life where you're too busy to do things such as play online games, so I don't really play any of them to a great extent.
I've popped on POTCO every so often, but usually don't stay online for more than a few minutes at a time. At most, I might go kill Darkhart a few times with a crude cutlass, just to try my luck (so far, I've had none). I doubt, as of now, that there will ever be a time that I can return to my favorite set of islands, sail my favorite seas, and pillage those foes that I fought against for over four years.
But who knows? Anything can happen.
