How long have you been on Pirates Online?
 

So how long have you guys been playing POTCO?

I'm honestly not sure. I created a POTCO account in '08, but after I went as far as I could on two pirates on Basic Access, I stopped. I came back in.....October or November of '09, so that gives me at least 4 months there. But quite honestly, I don't know. So, "Other."

9 months. Started avidly playing July 2nd of last year, but my first pirate was made in late May or early June.

Right at 2 years

A little over 2 years. I first created my account back in early March of 08'.

2 years since March 17th.

I started 2 years ago. At the end of Febuary and the very begining of March. When they were giving out the Black skull is when I became a member.

nearly two years.......

I've been playing since Beta 2, when all the gameplay pieces were finally coming together.

Founder, and I've seen many Founders leave, but the majority of founders I see around are here from POF. Hopefully something new and exciting(other than inventory) will come out so it won't be too dull.

I started just after the new PDF came out, so how long has that been?

started when they first gave out the test server. must be over two years ago been playing ever since.

Eliza is an old salt... born January 2008...

2 years ago middle of february 2008.

Not exactly certain, but I think it will be 2 years in June. Time flies when ya are having fun!

Im a Founder and coninued supporter of the game since beta. I havent broken subscription at all lol, I like my free gifts they send stuff. I usually give the gifts to my nephews.

Well, it's been a long time and it's felt like 2 years. I'm not sure though, but I put 2 years anyway.

It will be two years in July. I checked the more than a year button. My subscription has remained in effect for the entire time, and I added two others.

Little over two years mate,

Well my first pirate who was a level 8 or something like that, started around two years ago. I lost that account username so now I have another pirate, who started about a year ago.

been playing since end of 08

Way too long...

Over two years now... Started playing on January 08. Game has changed quite alot since then! Ah the good ol' days... People back then even acted more differently too =/

I am one of the oldest pirates on here lol. I joined on November 7, 2007. A week after Pirates came out. However, i wasnt a member and wasnt able to be a Founder. :(

I have been playing a little less that two years ,off and on.

Alittle over 2 years I think, I created my account in November but i didnt get unlimited until those black skull caps came out.

Oct 31, 2007. Day one on open. What a long strange trip it's been...

Has anyone noticed the trend in the poll so far? Most of the responders are old salts.

So, does that mean that a large number of pirate players are die hards and fewer new pirates are coming on? Or that newer pirates just don't like taking surveys?

I think its more new pirates dont know about these forums. we must spread the word YAR!

same with eliza

Well, I have in general for about 1 year, though if actual time considered as in a log on a day... about 6 months or so.


Nuju-

Hmm So most have been on for a little more or a little less then 2 years. Interesting, Thanks mates. And yes it is sad to think that most of us spent 2 years of our life on a Online game XD.

Im a founder pirates online was way better back then and i am very disapointed in the changes they made especially about they changed launching ur ship on the dock.

Well, now i feel weird cause all you guys have been at it for 2 yrs ir so and i justed started a month ago. Ah well at least my pirate is lvl35 and i am excited cause i just joine here and this website already seems fun :)

I've been playing since December 31 or so. A little late to be a Founder for sure.

Pretty much same as Crestshot.

According to my computer, I downloaded POTCO May 6, 2007. Over two years ago...wow. I remember all the glitches and fun of beta-testing! Once, I fell between a large rock and the stairs at Devil's Anvil and ended up floating in a black void with the sky above me but nowhere to go! And during beta-testing, you basically could run your ship ashore (literally ON the island) and port there. I also remember the olden days when you jumped into your boat at the docks and there was no such thing as unlimited access! Since then, I've played on-and-off. The one thing I was disappointed about was when they made basic/unlimited access because that pretty much ruined my game. ;_; But yes, such progress since way back when. Does this make me a founder? I don't know what qualifies as a founder...

If you payed for unlimited access when the game was first released into the Live servers, you would be a founder. If not, you're blue :)
