A Suggestion To D

[JM Ohara]

Okay so I wrote this letter to D when I heard that level 40s would loose Master Status. I was thinking maybe if a whole bunch of us cut and paste this, then send it to member services, maybe, just maybe they will listen. Here's my letter...


I was wondering, I'm hearing a lot of talk about Notoriety and Weapons cap increases lately. My question is what will happen to those of us who have a Mastered Pirate (not me) or Weapon (got one of those). Will we loose the Master tag we worked so hard to get? Somehow that just doesn't seem fair. Conversing with a fellow Pirate on Pirates Online Forums, I hit on an idea.

If in fact the caps are raised, why not just leave level 40 pirates and level 25 weapons as Pirate Master and Mastered. Future caps could have different names so that rather than changing an entire huge list of things all you'd need to do was add. For weapons cap raises you could just add a star, like the military uses. Then you would have (eventually) 3 star weapons masters. I put out for consideration these Notoriety level suggestions:

Notoriety Level 50: Pirate Lord
Notoriety Level 60: Pirate King
Notoriety Level 75: (May Pirates make it this long) Pirate Legend

Between you and me and the moon it would take a legendary effort to reach a level 75 pirate so why not call it what it is?

Anyway, this is just a simple (I hope) solution to keep Pirate Masters from loosing a very hard earned rank. I hope you like it. By the way, I know you hear a lot about we need this and that and whatever. I'm a not exactly new player, (been at it about two months now) and I LOVE the game the way it is thank you very much. No sarcasm here, I'm serious. I love the range of Pirates, the potential for growth, and how much there is to see and do. I'm in a large guild. Our GM is amany times over Pirate Master, and he manages quite well to keep the game fun even for fully mastered pirates, based on what's in there now. I have no objections at all to the game the way it is. I love it, I think you guys do excellent work. I can't wait to see where Pirates stands a year, two years, (may be be so very lucky) five and ten years down the road.

It's kinda funny, out of all the requests you must get for new stuff and changes, here am I asking please leave this the way it is and just add as ya go. Hopefully my odd little request finds it's way into the game.

Anyway, thanks for listening to my 2am suggestion.


This is the not all that reassuring form reply I got back...



This is a great idea for an addition to Pirates of the Caribbean Online! Your suggestion has been forwarded to the Pirates Product Team for review. You never know, your great idea might make it into the game!

See you in the Caribbean!
