Potential

[Dr. Zeppers]

Until there is MORE content to provide for those paying, I do not think any MORE should be given to free accounts. The more you give basic players, the less need or incentive they have to pay/subscribe to the game.

Comparing "free" access to other PIRATE MMO's of similar stature fairly, has POTCO generally beating the others already with thier free access and game play hands down.

If someones comparing a non-pirate MMO to POTCO, well fine, go play your other game. Most here arent here just to play a game. Im here because I like to play pirates games.

I sympathize with the OP in the sense I know they were trying to be constructive in thier recommendations. However when making comparisons, make sure they are fair comparisons. From an overall MMO perspective POTCO is lacking. From a pirates MMO perspective, it fares much better, its only real competition being POTBS, which is absolutely ahead of POTCO in many aspects. However thier game play style (hand to hand and SvS, etc) leaves a bit to be desired <yawn>, and the "world/player based economy" makes it a level of MMO many want to avoid (Potco's cheaper, and free play is 1000% better than POTBS's 14day guest pass).

Can POTCO use more content? ABSOLUTELY!!!!
Should they offer more for free? They already offer more than any of thier competitors, why should they?
