http://a.disney.go.com/pirates/onlin...es_at_work.jpg More Game Improvements on the Way

We play Pirates Online, and like you, from time to time we see things that need improvement. For instance, take our recent Privateering feature that was added to the game a month or so back.

PvP ship battles are exciting, however, we've seen some Pirates doing things in Privateering that makes it not as fun as it should be - like repairing ships while in battle. (In Privateering, ship repairs can only be done at port or while the captain is away from the helm. The players that are repairing while still sailing are taking advantage of a bug in the game.) For full Privateering details, click here.

We do our best to make sure bugs are squashed before new features are introduced into the game, but when they do sneak in, we work even harder to fix them. That said, you'll see fixes for this and many other bugs you've told us about in our next release - we just want to let you know we hear you and are working on them.

Your feedback is important and can help make Pirates Online better for everyone, if you've seen a bug, report it!

Im personally excited to hear this that they are working on the annoying bugs :) so use them now because they are working on fixing them!

I cant wait 'till the Glitches are fixed.

Yeah!!!!!! Thanks POTCO!!!

I think we all appreciate knowing our voices are being heard.

Looking forward to the fixs, and new content changes, and as always, appreciate all the POTCO staff does.

I hope they get those glitches fixed soon. I hate privateering when there are ships glitching so you can't sink them.:)

Heh heh, it's an awesome feeling knowing that they are actually reading our posts and listening! Now we just send in bug reports and wait around and watch in amusement as those good for nothing cheating bilge rats cry it out when their precious glitches are finally fixed! *evil laugh* Way to go Disney!

Lol i cant wait for the day we find out those bugs are fixed and we all go out on the sea and all the people are yelling "WHY ISNT THE GLITCH WORKING!!!" and "HEY YOU ATTACKED ME THATS NOT FAIR IM REPORTING YOU!!!!" i will be literally rolling on my floor laughing my but off so hard!

LOL Couldn't have said it better myself!

now MAYBE i can finish my privateering quest

best news to date!
 

absolutely AWESOME!!! i have, for the most part, abandoned SvS which is a shame since it's Sven's favorite thing to do since he turned 40.

Thank You Disney!!! i can't wait to get back out there.

Might have to dust off the Agile, Senile & Hostile crew!

That annoying SVS glitch keeping you from finishing? HURRY, POTCO, HURRY!!!

I was so mad I took a break from it and went to tormenta to blow off some steam. I think I made the Seabeards scared!!!

all i gotta say is,...... lol

I cant wait until those Privateering bugs get fixed

the most infamous glitch of SvS is the assasin glitch which is when u glitch off your ship and go and kill the captin of another ship. this glitch is coverd in another thread in glitches section.
