Play? Chat? Quit?
 

I was wandering how much of the population out there actually plays the game, and just doesnt sit around on Abassa lookin for people to ban or sit around chatting...or maybe rather you don't do either one of these things and you have simply quit and are waiting for new content like me!

if you have 4 Level 40's fully mastered and just sit around and chant...im sorry to hear that....:piratetongueor4::piratetongueor4:

Sorry to burst your bubble! I have 4 fully mastered level 40's, and I still play a little every single day. I have a guy who just hit level 20 yesterday, and is starting the nades quest, another who is level 8 or so. Plus 2 on test.

There is plenty to keep the game fun. Just wish there was new content to make it interesting for the level 40's.

I do play, I do chat, I do want new content, but I mainly chat with my awesome guild so..

I also help others so, I do all those things. I chose "Play" though cause you seem to be looking for that answer:rolleyes:

I definitely play the game. True, I only have 1 notoriety 40 pirate that's not even fully mastered yet. Even if all of my pirates were fully mastered, I would still play. There is so much more to do besides the game's quests. You just need to use your imagination. IMO, if people are playing JUST for what the game gives them (standard quests, storyline), they might as well be playing a single player game. There's plenty to do. I rarely log on with the intention of gaining X amount of rep or levels. I already have a job! This is play time.

I play. I spend some time ranking almost every day. I run competitions and events for my guild. I help out new and more experienced players (often as a healer) both in thre Krewe and out. We have poker nights on Fridays and plan celebrations for special events.

Although new content would be GREAT, it is the Krewe and the people in it that make the game fun. Yes, sometimes we sit around jawing, but that is to be expected among a bunch of friends and family. If we didn't chat our heads off, it would be like playing solo. THAT would have driven me away a while ago.

I still Play
 

Ive mastered fully 5 players and have lvl 40 on two more
I have 3 test accounts, 2 are fully mastered and one is nearly.
I have 4 guilds that I participate with, two are very large and
two are smaller. Each player I have is better at a different thing.
2 are SVS specialists and routinely rack up high bounties. One
is the cash machine, he makes gold for the rest, one is the sailor
and has the best BB skills. Once you are aware of all the possible
things you can do and all the different configurations your
players can now have (thanks to retraining of skills)
you shouldn't get bored.

I chose help, but I still play - some as Bucky, some as Eliza.

Trying to get Eliza into the Top 200.

I agree with Basil & Bart although I am newer to the game! I love playing my Pirate Lassies but also chatting with my "Family"! I live in a very rural area & am unemployed right now so this keeps me in touch with real people rather than just my 4 legged babies while my hubbie is at work :) There is so much to do although I do agree that new content is needed for those who are lvl 40.

The game is what you make of it while I have never spent time on Abassa it does not really matter what you do as long as you are having fun and being piratey! If you sail only to gain rep or kill just because a NPC tells you to or vice versa and not for the fun of it then D will never be able to keep up with you and you will always be bored and complaining about lack of content.

Lets see, after a while(most likely when college football season starts) I will just chat, help people and rank on Maria.

well from the following post i feel a little small ,lol
i only have one mastered pirate (well not fully mastered i never maxed and never intend to max my lvl 17 staff)
i have as well a lvl 27 pirate maxed both blades
and 2 lvl 12 pirates both with their own guilds
but mostly im on my lvl40 all day just lagging in abassa looking for members to join the Barbary Korsais, aside from that im helping my guild out mostly only have like 3 maxed people in it and about 72 that are lvls16 - 35 so they as for help and we have events mostly i just play for the thrill of being a Barbary Korsair :degen:

i kinda quit untill new content comes i come on sometimes, ive been playing since the game was released

Well when I decide to start up the game, I play.
Going into the game to talk to friends?
I can find much better venues to chat with my online friends than this game.

Always thought those that just hung out on Abassa 'chatting' were wasting their time.

I started working on my second pirate a week or two ago. I haven't got around to doing much on him since the game feels more like a job when I have to do it again.

Just trying to keep myself busy while we all wait for new content. If the second story quest doesn't come before my subscription ends then I'm done wasting my money for a while.

I play like nonstop

I haven't played in a while since nothing much has changed. I'm waiting for huge updates, like a new story, new ships, new islands, and other stuff like that.

I JUST LOVE HELPING OTHERS!! i am just a person that is very helpful on these kind of games!

suuuure wait hmm that g oes againts me...... i dont revive ppl LOL
i say all but Quit until new content arrives...

I hang out on tortuga, as I sit on my box watching my minions of abassa :P

Play! Help and Chat as well but Playing is the thing.

Captain Whale

I play but since I have long ago finished all the quest and grinding rep gets old this usually comes in the form of SvS or helping others( guild members, friends or just some random lvl 5 getting ready to be offed by a flytrap).

Some chatting. :piratear:
But my main objective when I log on is to play the game, may that be playing or helping, live or test. Have plenty to do with all my pirates to keep me busy even without new content. But dont get me wrong, love the new content and being able to be on test and see just what it's all about before it's released to everyone else.

Used to be I'd log in an play with a point for hours on end. :degen: Lately, when I hop on it's to shoot the breeze, maybe heal a buddy. I do not have a single Mastered pirate, and that's cool. I figure, if you're not in it for fun, what's the point? A few levels? An empty journal? Nah, play for the love of the game. Levels, skills, those things just happen in time. I don't play, I chat. :pirate30:

I don't play as much as I used to. When the invasions first came I was on a lot. Now, I don't seem to time it right. so I am on sometimes while I wait for new content.

of course helping other pirates! :D
i love it!!

I felt that way too, Iron. When my first pirate reached 40 (the max at the time) in March of '09, my buddies kept telling me to start a new pirate - I cringed at the thought of going through all that again.

When me best pal started a new one, I relented so that we could quest together - and strike up a little friendly leveling competition. That was in April. Now (8 months later) I have 6 pirates on 2 accounts. One has mastered at 50 (me second pirate, not me first Kat Five Knives)

Here is what I have discovered
* The first is the hardest. You are learning the game, having to ask everyone where the dig spots are, trying to find a guild in which you are comfortable.
* Start a new pirate with a mate. It's so much fun to level together and help one another. A little friendly competition doesn't hurt either ( have to check his levels every time I log on)
* Find a good guild - don't go it alone unless you really are a loner. A good guild and a decent friends list is better than gold.
* The second (third, fourth...) time around is SO MUCH EASIER and fun - because you know what to expect and what you are doing.

That's me 2 cents :)
Happy pirating Mate:pirate_flag:

I play a little. I have eight pirates on two accounts. One level 50 she does invasions, when friends want her BB's, PVP and Privateering. Really have no desire to master them all. I try to keep them at different levels to play with different friends. I will delete small pirates when they hit level 20.:piratetongueor4: Can you guess why? Yep grenades. I have three pirates in the high thirty range with seige charge, I cannot bring myself to delete them because of all the work put into tossing grenades. Two of them also have the older body types before potco gave everyone a more realistic shape aka a little belly fat, bigger booty and smaller treasure chest. Since I cannot make pirates like them again they will stay.

But like many players my master gets dusty and makes rare appearences.

And the little ones level up faster every time. I want new challenges, disney better deliver or I can go basic and wait. Little basic pirates can get everything but dagger and I am doing that now anyway.:napoleon:

I have 4 pirates-only one Noto 50. Have a difficult time getting the other ones leveled up because Lizzy is so Bizzy..lol But, I was never in a hurry, anyways. I just play to have fun & chat with my friends.

I agree...no hurry, just have fun... its funny how those people who sped to get to lvl 50 or higher are now stuck at those lvls...unless Disney raises the cap again, they can't lvl at all...even if they could lvl weapons, that's wasted notoriety rep.


Sometimes I have been in a hurry in fear that Disney will decide to get rid of the game before I can master.

I never rushed to level 50, it just happens when you love to play. :piratewheelgo2:
