Why did they remove the coin!?!

Definitely excited about the merchants. Can't wait for that update to go live!

Nice. I like all these, 'cept the coin. That makes no sense to me, lest D screwed up a code...

Why in the world remove the coin flipping?!

Coin Flipping.. gone? -crushes rum bottle in hand-

That's going to be missed, guess I'll have to resort to waiting impatiently...

Besides that, I feel like the rest of the update is a good thing. More clothes are always welcome, always looking for a place to fight enemies, and that new handing-of-the-reigns idea.. well, that will be useful.

Of course.. if you put in the wrong substitute leader...

Just why? I bet ALL Abassa Tortuga users are ranting on the coin when they saw that.

hmmm aww good to know there is nice ppl with pure minds really playing potco lol. disney removed it coz of the same reason they removed /bounce & /kneel, ppl were using /coin & /bounce & /kneel to take questionable screen shots. guess disney saw too many scandalous screen shots posted on photo bucket, x fire, tiny pic etc. using those emotes & red flags went up 'this sort of activity is not what potco advertises' or whatever. or maybe some parents caught their angelic kids messing with those emotes with/towards the avatar of the opposite gender & disney got too many complaints, who knows. i wouldn't be surprised, ive seen so many ppl that r around my lil sis's age acting up on that game taking those scandalous screenshots that even make me cringe, rofl, O_o like seriously rly, geez kids these day r like wow *shakes head* lol

ya i bet so too since that's like all they do pretty much

anyways, i TOTALLY LOVE the option where u can transfer GM status to another pirate <33333333333333333333333

I cant find it... anyone seen it?

What can you make with a coin flip? I think thats the lesser of the emotes. =P Several years, and we have only a handful - now less. Things are moving more backwards than forwards.

Ya but Coin is the ONLY "cool-kid" emote for guys. girls have primp but we r left with sleep glare hips and dance. id like POTCO to rid of primp. see how u like pplz.

ppl must have gotten too smart with the animated flipping-coin-hand's movements, disney did try to fix the "bounciness" vertically of avatars for /coin a few months ago but guess disney still couldn't totally fix it to their satisfaction, so they got rid of it, sad. At least /coin & /bounce's removal got put into release notes, I remember how /kneel just stopped working 1 day, & it was NEVER announced they removed it from release notes, & everyone got upset & disney acts like that emote had never existed, guess they didnt want any more screenshots of /kneel showing up so they never announced its disappearance.

no i'm not one of those bad kids who was using /kneel inappropriately, *totally innocent* i dont have a single screenshot of that emote coz i thought it'd always be around, i just thought it was cute whenever ppl asked me 2 help them w/killing something or sinking something or whatever. haha my fave memory of /kneel was this 1 time 2 years ago (omg awwwwwwww has it been that long since that emote worked???!!!??!! lol i just remember that was when this certain particular leaderboard guild i was in was still active), i tped 2 a guildie & she had gotten crew/guildmates/friends to /kneel right b4 i landed coz she wanted me 2 sail the pearl 4 her bb (this was back when it was different/hard, nowadays i can take a lvl 1 sailing pirate & still win in green, not as good but almost as good as my mastered sailors's sailing). it was soooo cute rofl, of course i asked them 2 all get off their knees fast coz that was embarrassingly awkward since we were in a gun shop on a busy server & random ppl were running in & out.

there's only 1 more questionable emote that i think disney will try to reanimate coz ppl seem to like to abuse it as well, but knowing disney they'd prolly be removing it soon anyways =( yea i agree, seems like disney is moving backwards instead of forwards

if they got rid of /primp, idk what i'd do rofl, boycott potco?? rofl

Getting rid of /coin is the biggest mistake they have made yet... its like getting rid of something perfect...

Agreed - coin was the best emote. Every other 'static' emote is lame. I HATE primp.

Ummmmmm trust me. Coin flip can be objectionable. :D
