Our Characters' Speech!
 

To prevent abuse (sp?) I think there may be limitations on what we can say.

That's most likely the case.

I am not sure, but you will probably be able to say words in POTCO that you couldn't say in VMK.... ;)

Yeah, POTCO will probably be the most liberated game, surpassing VMK's and TT's dictionary.

I'm guessing it will be like the SF option on toontown. Where you can say anything but bad words are not shown.

I hope it's not like toontown. It would be better if it were like VMK.

Agreed. But with less limitations, of course.


----------
Off Topic: Are you going to pick up the sig I made for ye? :)

Yeah I hate VMK for that very reason matey. Limitation beyond yer very ears matey.

Agreed. The limitatons drive me crazy, mate.

It's probably going to be like runescape where you can say anything you want, but bad words come out as "*******" when you send them or enter them.

Oh and by the way, i put those stars.

All we shouldn't have on Potco is:
Swears
Addresses
Those types of things.

I'm guessing it's gonna be pretty much like VMK's standards, but we'll be able to say more, considering you need to be 13 to play the game.

~Pink

I can see it being a lot like Toontown. The pictures I have seen don't really show a dialog box.

Ugh, I hope it's not like ToonTown :( I like being able to say whatever, even if it is like VMK where there are some words you cannot say.

~Pink

I really don't mind the limitations that much on VMK, except that people really could give out info in numbers, it would just be harder.

I hate the TT phrases. Makes me wanna destroy the server.

I hope swearing is allowed :)

But what about the young'ins?

I agree with icecoolio :)

And I personally don't see why you would *want* to sware...

~Pink

In my eyes the "youngins" already have ToonTown AND VMK. This is more grown-up, heck even the fansite is PG rated.

Besides the youngsters find a way to swear at you anyway. I'm just happy they took beach out of the VMK Dictionary. I was getting fed up with that...

Rocks, you have a point there....
Restrictions actually make people want to do it more.

And you can't forget about "mer"! Ugh...

~Pink

As on ToonTown, you need parental permission to freely chat. ;) Otherwise there pre-delevoped chat phrases to use. That's what I heard.

~Kid

"Mer"? I don't quite follow?

Yes, I was just freely called an "as" earlier today as well. Great to see that kids are alive and well and learning respect :)

One thing I like about the speedchat is that limits what you have to put up with from others, but at the same time, maybe they could reverse the procedure? Make it free chat with the option to put the person on SpeedChat only? I can think of people I would like to do that to ;)

I'm sure I read somewhere on the site that it uses Speedchat, but I can't find that page anymore...

Well, when you find it, post it! :D

I hope you'll be allowed to say whatever you want freely. That's what makes most games fun. Saying whatever you want as long as there aren't curses.

I think it'll be like VMK speech.

I hope it doesn't have as many limitations as VMK has.

I just hope that communication for teamwork is easy, unlike Toontown. >.>;

You can say that again.

When I used to play TT, I couldn't speak that well with my team.
That hurt our chances of winning in the Bot Factories.

That would be my first guess, TT like speedchat/SF program. I'm leaning towards the SF program because this game has a point like TT unlike VMK, where you can just experience Magic Kingdom park and trade/become rich. Because POTCO is a game where you are able to fight and have careers (taking a guess here, I was thinking something like a ToonTask from TT) it makes me think that we would be able to chat freely and not be limited to a dictonary as VMK, but our chat would be moderated loosely.

My 2 cents!
--Lassie

Agreed.
Although, what kind of speedchat do you think we would have?

A pirate-talk based speedchat such as Ahoy!, Shiver me timbers!, and cute catch phrases like that.

-- Lassie

Matey don't even go there.
I hate that game fer that very reas'n.

I assume that their will be no dictionary or speed chat, but open speak, with a few words blurred out. Thats how most pg/teen+ mmog work anyway, and this one is probably no exception.

If the dictionary is a limiting as VMK, I'll quit the game before it starts :P

I believe Pirates Online will have limitations on words that are very offensive or very personal. Inappropriate content said in the game will most defenitely reflect Disney negatively. They won't let that happen, of course. :)

I wouldn't mind any word filter. The important thing to remember is, Disney is trying to keep every player safe.

-Doc

I wouldn't mind something like what Toontown does. It worked well for me.

I appreciate word filters, just as long as they don't go too far. If it gets to the point where you can't say "Arr", that's where I draw the line. XD

It's the same format as TT, I read it on Google News a couple weeks ago. I think it was somebody's blog that had copied and pasted what the IGN guys did.

Yeah I've read a few sites about that.

Yes I think it will be where you can pick from a certain list for quick typting. Or you can just type what you want (well some things lol)

~Cpt.Sea

If it hasn't been confirmed .. the answer to what the chat will be like is above.

-- Lassie

Yeah I think it is like that since there are a few lines that will be said over and over so speed text is good. I hope it is confirmed but it's not officially. Nothing is official until beta is done lol.

~Cpt.Sea

I think we will be free to type what we
want. There should not be a dictionary,
with words we can use. There should be
a dictionary with words we can't use.
That way we could be able to talk freely
amongst ourselves.

When I played ToonTown the speed chat was not bad. It was a way to distinguish the adults from the children. Clever people will always find away to communicate.

true most of the time lol
