I must say that I am a little jealous of the new pirates that are entering into the game. It took a lot of hours to get myself to level 38 then they turned around and upped it to level 50 max which caused me to completely stop playing the game for over two months and not have anything to do with guilds until I reached level 50 on my own because hey I worked hard to get to a high level and I wanted to get to the finish line without that much help because there really was not that much in the way of community in the game when I first started. To make it worse I am an older player so I only have so much time that I devote to the game. Taken all that into consideration some of the newer changes kind of burn me up.
However......
What got me playing the game is that I have a young daughter which was even younger (then only about 5) when she started playing the game got me into it as well as I would help her play it. The game and related material have turned into kind of a family fun thing for us all.
Now I have to say that she really got to hate the quest. It was the only thing for her to do in the game for the most part however of course as she played that changed as newer features were added.
Now that the newer features are added she spends a lot more time playing the game and as a lot more fun with it then she use to. She has been playing the game for nearly three years or so... when she started the game had been open only about three months so I am not sure how long its been. In any case that is a long time for a kid to be playing the same video game.
I actually wrote into Disney several times to fix glitches and all partially based on her gaming experience and back then was surprised to see Disney make some changes within a week or so of making suggestions.
I was a little ****ed when she was not allowed to go to Disney to meet with the designers because it was boys only and she could have made the trip no problem....lol
Anycase I do agree with you and like I said I am a little jealous however I do kind of raise my mug to it as they have increased the playability of the game to a broader audience. We each get to decide how to play the game in our own way and there is a lot more to do in the game then what once was. Remember when PVP was about the only thing outside of quests??? I mean now look at it. Its not so bad sometimes sitting on the dock and doing some casual fishing while chatting with fellow guild members or sharing fishing boats with them and being able to tour the Caribb without being fired at..lol.
Who knows maybe Ravens Cove will bring back the challenge for us who want to go further... in any case I am going to wait until they are finished with this batch before forming an opinion and just take it all with grain of salt and wait for the master plan to reveal itself...
