Ask any Pirate, you don't go around showing your private effects to just anyone - and by private effects, we mean personal information. For example: Your real name, age, phone number, or account information - such as your Account ID (your log in information) or password.

No matter how well you know someone you should NEVER share your personal information with them under any circumstance. Pirates Online will never ask you for this information via e-mail, or in-game and you should never share your online account or account information with another player or post your information online.

Remember, you're responsible for your account and activity while your account is online. So if you play Pirates Online on a public computer (like a school or library) make sure when you're done playing to log completely out of the game and your account!

Play it safe, and protect your most valuable asset - your personal information.

My Port Royal tour ended pretty abruptly when the GM disappeared and never returned. Are the tours worth going to? I don't want to waste my time if they are pointless but I don't want to miss it if it's worthwhile. ;)

They tell some storys, might be some races for fun.
Its worth going to.

The PR tour was cool....except for the one Pirate that wouldn't stop dropping Wither when we all (including GM) told him to stop. Cool stories and some hints of things to come.


:12_1_138:

Worth going to? In my opinion...... Nah way too much lag, too many obnoxious people, too many silly questions asked, not enough important ones answered.

Swashbucker II tours are more fun and less laggy. ;)

Whooo! Another few days they could work to improve the game, but would rather instead make a tour of pointless wonders. The GM's I'm sorry, aren't my favorite friends, the last time I seen them, they said new weapons were coming after the level 5 came out. This infuriated me, and I quit, I must also say, I think I may resign from Pirates Online.

The reason being, Pirates Online was always a place for me to be me, and I enjoyed every moment of Pirates Online. The problem is, Pirates online became, New Islands, GM Funhouse, and Pointless updates Online. That's a little hard for me to fit into my address bar, so I think I'll be saying good-bye to all of this. Because we all know after Padres is made, the Carribbean that I loved, will be officially gone.

When i went to PR tours it was less than maybe 2 minutes long.. No real information given =( I dont know if i went at a different time if would have been better.. by the tour i got was by no mean helpful.

I think they are very worth going to, cool role-playing stories, and the GMs are awesome story tellers :)

I think it's nice, if nothing else, they're doing something. I like the gm's, well, some of them. It's also fun to have a change in scenery.

All the GMs that I have met have been really nice and helpful. I agree we need more practical updates, but I am glad the GMs make in-game appearances from time to time.

Well, Rose Winsome is the only GM that I like, one Davy guy really drove my nerves, I asked him one question the whole time, about what he knew about ship customization. All he did was answer other questions, but when I asked him, could you please answer my question, he just said I cannot answer that question. Ah, that be why I never trust any GM.

Please read the instructions :) Almost no GM will be answering questions - will be only performing tours from their script, and may give a few clues on the way...

Pirates tying to ask tons of questions are wasting their time - interrupting the presentation, and make it hard for everyone else to follow the story they are telling...

Aye.....would be quite unfortunate for someone to cause issues by using your Pirate.......

(Things you really shouldn't have to be told...)

Here here jas. Wonder what happened this time...

just curious, isnt age the pretty much the SAME thing as telling your gender? I mean really..if someone is 20 for example...theres millions and millions of people in the country who are 20..not a big deal.

Knowing someones age doesnt harm anyone in any way, is what im saying...

and if im wrong then tell me, thats why im asking.

Because its my information - and my business to give out. Anything which can identify you is yours - including age.

Keep in mind that POTCO is NOT real life people... its a computer game simulation - and like any other computer information can be used and obtained for bad as well as good. No 'real' information is needed to play this game with others (with the exception being Disney and directly to your account - though only necessary information should be provided).

I agree, I don't think knowing someone's age is necessarily harmful. However, suppose a not-so-morally-straight adult discovers he/she is playing with a child. He/she could subtly get the child to reveal where he/she lives, etc etc etc. This can quickly escalate into a pretty severe problem that can endanger children, and Disney certainly doesn't want to be liable for anything that may happen. Therefore, I think it's for the best that they try to keep personal info personal. Although you and I know how much is TOO much to reveal, a child may not realize the potential danger and may tell more than is wise. I give preventive measures 2 thumbs up. :) But I'd love to know what kind of idiot tried to give their account information away...

Did I not mention, this was when they visited the Tavern's, lord no, I could never expect anything out of a Role-play event, that's why I never went. I'm just saying that the time they went to the Tavern's they seemed to want to be more rude than informative.

Ummmm It wasn't in game......Rofl Leave it to us DW's to go break rules again. I wonder if it was Basil trying to get Jess set up on vent.....

Vent is a wonderful thing if you are and adult....if by age only

Not us Bella,

This has nothing to do with anything regarding vent, or outside chat. This is
A) A routine warning.
B) Due to people who use public access puters, and don't erase their acct. info when they log out, then other people get into their acct.
OR
C) Complaints D has gotten because people's accts. got hacked.

Every company puts out warnings like this. It's routine protocol.
Remember, Disney is the biggest supplier of online games for younguns, they need to make sure they cover all the bases.

I just noticed something about this one... it's only one day... I guess I won't be goin' then. I'll have to miss another tour.
