Why pay full price for this game? I mean really.

I'd just like to add my two gold coins worth to this thread....

I am pretty new to online gaming, having followed my kids into the Caribbean earlier this year. My kids have now moved on to pastures new while I have stayed.

Kat is now on the brink of making Master Pirate, I am in a guild which I enjoy immensely and I take part in all sorts of adventures and escapades around the Caribbean with a group of good friends. I am only limited by my imagination and ingenuity ( or lack of...!).

What's the attraction? For me it is the social aspects of this game that make it worthwhile....it was so easy to make friends in the early days, join a guild and plunder and loot with different crews. I also find it fascinating to meet so many different players from around the world in a location which I really enjoy.

Like many others, I have also ventured into other sites like Lotro, but still prefer POTCO, even though it costs me my hard earned loot.

Yes, I would like to see more updates and less lag, the chat restrictions drive me insane at times and being disconnected every so often can be irritating too. I have many ideas about how to improve the game for older as well as younger players but I can still see myself staying here for a while yet because of the pirates I have met in game.

So far then, the good points outweigh the bad ones, I'm starting to play with a second pirate now too and rediscovering the joys of dying every time I tackle an enemy........and I am still willing to pay good money to do it.
