Remember all the talk about the POTCO UK Version?

I have already met several people from other countries in the POTCO US. I had a friend from Australia and another from Brazil. I met someone from Germany the other day and I know that many others from more countries are probably already in the US version. To me it would make sense that Disney would combine all into the POTCO US. Im sure it would save a ton of money and would only be one site to update and add to or change. However, this could make the servers/oceans busier across the board. And if this happens, then I hope they add more servers soon after. As far as the chatting goes, no idea how they could make it easier for someone speaking a language other than English to speak to us or us understand them. I know there is a language barrier between me and my friend from Brazil. Many things get lost in translation. I dont know Portugese and only a little Spanish. All I can say is the speed chat that they have already in the game for quests and so forth will come in very handy.

Don't you get it? There never WAS a Potco UK! That's what this post was all about.
Mac is the only one who seems to have understood.
Last year, Disney ran a TON of ads in the UK and Europe about a POTCO UK. The ads showed lots of things that weren't even available, but were only proposed for the future. The fourms and fansites were all ablaze with chatter about it. And, it never happened.

There won't be any new speedchat phrases in foreign languages. There won't be any new things brought into the game from other countries! There won't be new servers to make up for the NON-EXISTANT servers that aren't being shutdown.

All along, people from other countries were playing on the same servers as the US was. The fact that ToonTown had different servers and languages, it never happened for POTCO. And now, Disney is shutting those down for the other games. We all have friends from many other countries, and some probably didn't even realize it. One of the best pirates I've known was from Australia, and many are from other places.

My OP was meant to deliver that point. All the fanfare from last year was an exercise in futility!
