Can't connect to POTCO? *Merged*

[enchantedgrace]

Hello guys.(:
My POTCO launcher isn't loading.
I mean it's loading (connecting to the game it says), but it takes forever to get me through the queue.
I have basic access obviously, and I decided to come back to pirates after a little over a year.
I'm trying to get on it to see if I want a membership or not.
I have only been on it once throughout the days of trying to get on it.
It seems really difficult to get through the queue.. or is that just me ?
I don't know if it's going slow because I haven't been on it often, or if it's just suppose to take awhile to get through queue ?
If someone could explain to me why their is a queue (or why I have to wait so long), and how come it's not loading fast.. I would appreciate it.
Sorry if this has already been posted btw, I don't have good eyesight.
So if it has, mods may close.. but I do need an answer. xD.

Also, is this game worth buying membership again ?
I'm not really sure, considering I haven't been able to get on.

**Just for your information too..**
I have a mac computer and I do have a fast connection, so I do not think that is the problem here. Before, when I played pirates.. I was able to play the game just fine.
I also tried to get on pirates in my Firefox Browser, but that wouldn't work.
The thing downloaded successfully it said, but I don't know how to restart my browser. :/

Thanks.(:
