Old Launcher

Ok i really miss the old pirates.

But changing the launcher!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

come on! Remember when ever the game updated and there was this extremely beast motion picture of a huge storm and you saw lightning and you could see jolly roger's ship in the distance? why the heck would they change that! that was beast! and it made these rlly creepy noises. I kinda quit pirates online.

Its not the same as 07 08, like when you were able to shoot people off there ships with a cannon and go off your ship glitch. And boarding your ship from the dock! how could they change that!!!!!!!!!!! that was awesome! i was able to pretend to cannon people on land! i miss old port royal and old pirates.

Its just not the same.

just found some old videos of the old ship launcher on YouTube, that looks awesome!

I wish they could bring some of it back, but the obvious drawbacks of having the ships and land-based pirates on the same interaction map must be extremely taxing on the servers....

I do miss the old maps, though.

I knew every corner of the old maps back then, and I still cant quite get Tortuga's new maps in my brain.

Check the 2:00 mark for the ship launching

Just watched it. Looked incredible... however I have been playing since December of '07, and I remember none of that. I'm fairly certain that the health/voodoo key was always at the top and chat was at the bottom (they were flipped in the video). Also, I don't remember that type of ship launching, although it looks REALLY cool. This leads me to believe that this was game play from literally the first month of the live servers, or some time in the beta testing.

Either way, very cool. I really wish we could launch our ships like that.

it was from the first live test servers. Mid '07.

The caption on the video reads (emphasis mine):

Seems they have stop the deletion of the desktop launcher lots of ppl complained even me i basicly told them not every body cant use the web base version it lags plus it takes even more memory depending on witch web version you use.I have found Out Fire Fox is the worst when it comes too the game and crome there both pretty much the same.Looks too me they are not taking out the desktop launcher its still updating.I all so told them if they take away the launcher they are going too lose unlimited players that means less cash for them be cause some cant use the web browser.I really hope they did change there mind.And realized hey where going too be losing money on this idea.Desktop launcher i bet its more widely used then the web browser.Its better off they keep it.

'Fraid I wasn't around for 2007 and 2008. But some of Disney's glitches really are fun... and it sounds like the 'old days' of POTCO were great.
