For all players both Test and Live

[LadyDi]

After reading what became a pretty heated discussion, I chose to contact Disney and ask some questions. My main question was what was their view of players on Test using glitches or exploits in order to level up quick.

This is the response I got:

We've taken many measures to eliminate opportunities for grief play in Pirates of the Caribbean Online, and appreciate your help in this effort. We take the issue of "glitching" and cheating in-game rather seriously.

Such actions can not only take the fun out of the game for everyone involved, but can cause very serious errors within the program that can affect all our Guests.

Our Member Agreement states the following about cheating: "Use of any software, code, device or other mechanism that allows automated gameplay, expedited gameplay, or other manipulation of gameplay or game client will result in immediate termination of the Account. Disney reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to determine what constitutes manipulation of gameplay or game client." To read the Member Agreement in full, please see the URL below: http://disney.go.com/pirates/online/...agreement.html

If you see further instances of this action, we encourage you to utilize the "Report a Player" button in the game. To do this, simply click on the Pirate you would like to report and select "Report" in the menu that is displayed.

In the meantime, the best way to avoid troublesome player behavior is to play in a "Quiet" Ocean.
Each Ocean is a copy of the Caribbean in its entirety. Playing on a "Quiet" Ocean is a great way to focus on getting tasks done before heading to an "Ideal" or "Busy" Ocean to build a crew. To switch Oceans: - Go to the "Map" page in your Sea Chest. - At the top of the map is the name of the Ocean you are currently in, select the arrow below the Ocean's name.

Click on another Ocean name and you will be teleported to that Ocean. Pirates not on your Friends List will not know which Ocean you went to, so it will be difficult, if not impossible, to follow you. We appreciate your continued support of Pirates Online, and hope to see you in Caribbean again soon!

Thank you,

Juan
