With more subscription money, they'll just continue to hire more dumb workers and keep wages low, it won't ever change unless they:

1) Get rid of Panda 3D and use something updated

2) Release bug fixes every 1-2 weeks, earlier depending on severity.

Panda 3D is poorly documented, lacks performance optimization techniques, and is in the hands of a community college.

Panda 3D does not pass today's business standard 3D developing apps.

As I have stated in the past, Pirates Online is only a mere community project that's made off of a program created in a college.

They will continue to fail for the next 3 years at this rate.

That's true, they really do need to improve the game engine. I did say, PotCo was probably going to die in the next few years if they don't improve game performance and make weekly upgrades.

Every game starts from nothing, and builds up though. RuneScape was just a small little pixel game that 2-3 guys made in there house, and only a few hundred players played it, today it is one of the biggest and most popular games out there with hundreds of millions of players.

Hopefully Disney knows what they are doing, making these threads is really useless. I'm just hoping that PotCo improves, but then again its Disney. So I have to agree with you guys in some things.
