Haha, first of all, I'm not a guy. Second, hey Darth, I'm glad you're enjoying your gaming experience in POTCO. The fact is, Runella hit it right on the head. I want to play this game because I too, feel it has much potential but at this time I can't. It's frustrating to me because when I started my account on Monday and downloaded the client I was up and running and playing fine. Then comes Tuesday and I decide to upgrade my account and now I can't play.

I won't get into a debate over WOW, as I realize there are people who don't like that game and that's fine. I was simply stating that after having played that game for over two years it takes some time for me to adjust to the mechanics of other mmos. It's not a big deal. I did take notice of some things in POTCO that are different but I didn't let that stop me from committing to at least a month of game play by upgrading.

Anyway, I'm not saying that upgrading is what caused the issue cause that just wouldn't make sense. But at the same time, I haven't changed anything on my computer either so why would I have no problem with this game on one day, but not be able to play the next?

I do appreciate those who have made suggestions and I'm trying whatever you guys post. I have done a complete reinstall of the game client as well.

***Edited to add, I called the customer service number and had my unlimited account cancelled. The rep was very nice about it and said I would be credited for the $4.95 I paid. We'll see whether or not I really am but for now I am pleased with the response I got. I suppose I could always try later to play this game, but for now it just seems like an impossibility. I realize most people are able to play with little or no problem but from what I've been reading online, some people (like me) just CANNOT play this game no matter what.

It's sad, I had just gathered enough gold to buy a better boat and never got to sail it even once.
