I was able to get on for the lastest one but I coulden't find a server with it

[gerrich]

Well I was on earlier for 2 of the Curses, and there was no curse so I went to the chat help and this is how it went. Enjoy.


SERVER:Customer is waiting for Response...
IAN:Hello, Robert.
ROBERT: hello where is the curse
IAN:Jolly Roger's curse will be happening on every server, at the times posted at the top of the PiratesOnline web site: http://apps.pirates.go.com/pirates/v...rrentnews.html
ROBERT: I was there and nothing happened at them times
ROBERT:twice now
ROBERT: you still there
IAN:One moment please.
IAN:Were you outdoors? The curse doesn't apply to those Pirates who are indoors or sailing at the time it happens.
ROBERT: yes I was outdoors, I was on the beach of tortuga with about 20 other people, and I heard from a lot of people from different servers that nothing happend there either
ROBERT:so what happened
IAN:I'm sorry about that wait. Could I ask you to submit a bug report with your log files, so that I can escalate this problem to our engineers?
ROBERT: why would it be in the bug report, its not happening to a lot of people, do you guys not watch the servers
IAN:The bug report will have information about the server you were on that our engineers will want from the escalation.
ROBERT: ok, I will send one in.
IAN:You can do so while in this chat session if you like and I'd be able to send it along immediately.
ROBERT:I just send the file bugreport
ROBERT: ??
IAN:Thank you. One moment please.
IAN:Just so I can make sure, you were waiting at 1 PM Pacific time (4 PM Eastern), correct?
ROBERT:yep which would be 3pm central time for me
ROBERT:and then again at 4:30 central time
IAN:Thanks for submitting the bug report, I'm seeing ticket #599927 now.
ROBERTk
IAN:I'm attaching your information to it now and escalating it.
ROBERT: ok, so we just wait for the next one and hopefully it works?
IAN:Thank you for being so helpful with this. This is something that one of our senior agents is currently investigating, and we're trying to get as much information about it to our engineers as possible.
IAN:This doesn't seem to be a universal problem, so I would suggest checking other servers at the time the curse should be happening as a workaround.
ROBERT: ok, one more question, When are we going to see the next story line, my pirate has been mastered for a long while, and its getting really boring
ROBERT:I even have another pirate almost to lvl 30
IAN:I don't personally know when that will be happening. However, our engineers are always working to refine and expand Pirates Online, so I'd suggest keeping an eye out.
ROBERT: ok, thank you have a good day
IAN:You're welcome, and thank you for choosing Pirates Online Chat support. Have a great day!

-eyes are tired-
Wow...thats interesting. So everyone else was talking about it, but you never got the curse? bummer

[ninety3rd]

Here is my Bug report I just sent in (made a similar, yet briefer comment on the Grog Blog...IF they post it, that is).
......
I have not seen the so-called "curse" once today.
I have only heard - from one friend - who stated it occurred on Antik server at 1pm PST.
I have been online at each appointed time for the curse: PST 1PM, 230PM, 4PM, 730PM, 11PM and have traveled to numerous servers each time within a 15 minute time frame.
Each time was on Tortuga. Each time I was indeed outside. Each time there was no full moon, and no curse.
Just a few minutes ago, from 11pm-1115pm PST, I traveled thru TWENTY TWO servers on Tortuga (outside), and experienced no curse.
There servers included every single server listed as "Ideal" at the time, and then other servers at random:
Kokoros (where I was placed when logging on).
Tortos, Navermo, Abassa, Andaba, Patros, Legassa, Angama, Andoso, Cruzaire, Angassa, Pataba, Mosona, Battama, ESquago, Fraguille, Romana, Eustaba, Hassilles.
The ineptitude displayed during the Feast and now this over-hyped fraud is unacceptable.
Sorry, I know one catches more flies with honey, but these bugs are pathetic. Walt would be ashamed.

It didn't come again tonight at 9:30. I love this part...

This doesn't seem to be a universal problem

Umm, it seemed pretty universal to me! And to everyone else standing on that beach complaining.

So, should we all send in bug reports?

[ninety3rd]

On Andaba right now -- Moon is finally full...but no curse. Just checked Abassa...no full moon.
Notice just came on saying POTCO will close for maintenance in 30 minutes ....uh huh....

[gerrich]

when I sent my bug report in, I had to send the 2 files from The POTC folder. I noticed they were closing for mantaince also. Hopefully they get everything fixed.

I think it lasted WAY longer that 15 minutes or it could just be me imagining things.

[Erich Uchiha]

Im hoping the one 4:00 EST will actually come

[Nelly Darkpaine]

Nothing here either... waited for two last night. Nothing at all. Two different servers, two disappointing non-curses. Meh!
