It amazes me how people post about what Disney don't do and how disappointed they are with what has been brought to the game so far and yet are still prepared to pay their fees and play the game. If you are all that disheartened why not leave and play something else. I think what we get for our money is jolly good value for money. Its about £52 anually here which is a POUND A WEEK to play 24 hours a day if you wish! Baaaaaaaargain!! (what's that like just over a dollar??)
I for one love this game, love the GM events especially, which are ROLE PLAYING events, so going along and moaning about things that arent relevant is going to get you nowhere and tell you nothing. Captain walter told us (as Jeanne said) the curse WONT be the same this year but will be much bigger and emphasized sharpening your cutlass, and Jolly Roger himself would be involved.
I havent finished the quest on my main pirate but have on my second to see what difference it makes when the time comes, as we were told the amount of people who finish the quest will make a difference to the outcome and what happens, which adds another twist.
And so what if the kraken doesn't make an appearance til next year. I'm sure in the meantime there will be more than enough coming to satisfy our pirate needs....Just you have a little faith in Disney. They will deliver, but in their own good time, we just have to be patient. And POTCO's not just about playing the game, it's about having fellowship with yer mates, making new friends and friendships that will last a lifetime.
