>=( Why don't they have morrre Pirat-ey outfits?!

[AR_FiberNeoPirate]

Ha-lo, i'm a pirate, and i was just wondering- WHy don't they have more pIRAtey outfits, such as:

Dressess (or corsets), and yah know...little accessories/ like:

The things that Jack wheres on his hands. Or like, things to put in your hair
like:
Fancy/ clips, or beads.
But, there are no dreads.
These were just things on my mind. PLEASE DON'T, say that "you don't care," or "nobody cares," about what i have to say, because somebody does. Because obviously, some one does if they are POsting about it. I talked to A LOT of people who suggest the same thing. (and i've wittnessed/ "weddings" 0.o) And i just thought that it would be pretty cool if we had a little more to customize/ our pirates with. I don't think that's askin' too much....
So.....what is your opinion?

This game is still in developement so in the future i expect more pirat-y stuff to be released. The game is no where near 100% done its no where near 50% done so there is still lots to be released.

In the recent talks with the GM's a few did mention more clothes being added soon so who knows.

[Dr. Zeppers]

I agree there should be more clothing/accessories in the game. Enough items where every pirate I meet isnt wearing the same bandana I am, etc.

No dis intended...
I sorta chuckled regarding Dresses/corsetts (when thought of in a piratey light).
Most images of known female pirates for example wore similar outfits as to the men.
Hard to fight/run in a dress i'd think, but I wouldnt know.

Not at all opposed to them being in the game (dresses, etc)

I think the "weddings" thing is a bit overboard for a game, but to each his own.
Have yer fun!

I'm not familiar with the process so forgive me, but is it normal to consider a game approaching 1 year in public mode "in development"? I would accept and even hope that on-line games continue to evolve, but "in development" sounds like we are all testers regardless of access to test servers. Of course considering the level of complaints still occurring after all this time since game release, perhaps there is some truth to the development reference.

First thing my wife looked for was some of the fancy dresses that the maiden's wore back in piratey days. She was dissapointed in the fact that she wasn't given the option. I could be wrong, but doesn't Elizabeth wear a dress? They should really provide the option.

No it isnt normal compared to other game however for disney they have done alot for their reputation as a game developer and i think they game was not ready to be released but that isnt my call the people at disney are "Professional".

They said new shipment of clothing is coming.

You'll be surprised what us gals can do I wish they would give us more for the females, longer skirts like June in Port Royal for example, if they've already done it for some of the female NPC's, it shouldn't be hard to add for the girls. But in terms of customization the game is definately behind, but still always developing so i guess we just have to wait.

I propose a seaweed suit.

Thank you . And thank you all for responding, lol. Um...i agree with Chris annndd with who he quoted :P. I'm not sayin' that they're going to fight in it- i'm saying that like, ok... Some of the people on pirates have "pirate weddings" and, i just think it would be really nice to wear something fancy. Like, i already am picking out things for my pirate to wear when i gett unlimitted again. Uh, but, yea, i was just saying this because no one else would...and the people that talked with me on this aren't on here..i think..Lol. Sorry

I propose a tample of logic: if a pirate wears it, it is pirate clothing. If a pirate owns it, it is pirate's clothing. Clothing ulitmately gets its value, its determination, from the wearer, non?

[Swash]

I agree with League it is pirates Clothing if a pirate is wearing it.

[BenWarhawk]

Not meaning to be argumentative here, however following the logic of League if an individual wears a set of USMC dress blues does that automatically force the wearer to have committed six years or more of their life to Uncle Sam?

Of course not - some clothing is thought of as belonging to a particular sect/set of people; I would never expect a Midwestern farm girl to run around town in Yapese traditional wear (grass skirt, etc...). As such, some people think of certain articles of clothing as being associated with pirates. Although there is a saying "The clothes do not make the man - the man makes the clothes", one must admit there is much emphasis placed on the type of clothing one wears; otherwise there would absolutely no use for costume shops come time for Halloween or other Masquerade Balls.

Just my humble opinion; that and a buck seventy five will get you a cup of coffee at McD’s.

[League]

Actually Ben, it'd still be Marines' clothing. It just'd not be worn by a Marine. And, like I said, if a pirate wears it, then it is pirate clothing. I'm not associating anything with anything.

True, but then again using the same priniciple...
If pirates didnt wear it, then it wasnt typically pirate clothing.

So... Coming up with uniforms, costumes, obscure clothing of sorts that people in teh game want, doesnt fit the genre.

We are not pirates, we are playing pirates. Because we are playing a pirate, and want to wear a USMC uniform, or whatever does not make THAT pirate clothing.

So Leagues statement is correct, and could be applied to whats considered pirate clothing based on what real pirates wore.
Not based on what gaming pirates want to wear now.
