For those with linked accounts...

I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this.

On test, the arrows that allow me to toggle between my accounts are gone. They were there a couple days ago, and they are still there on open.


Is this a mistake, or is this Disney's way of closing that loophole?

If this has already been posted about please let me know

Well that sure is a bummer, they are gone.
That really bites.
Strange enough as well I didnt even see an update downloaded to turn them off.
Hoping its just a glitch that will be fixed.. really really hoping.

I hope so too. I player-friended all of my friends on open with only one account, because its the only one I really log into. Transferring all of those is not going to be fun.

Well, I definitely don't like that!

I'm going to ask about it - if it was intentional, I'm going to be annoyed.

Maybe I'm just in a bad mood, but this one really bugs me. If they meant to do this, I'm going to be seriously upset.

Because of the way our accounts are set up, if this goes to open it will mean that, in spite of having 2 unlimited accounts:

* My kids will not able to play with each other
* My husband and I will not be able to play our original pirates (GM and co-gm of our guild) at the same time.
* We will also not be able to play our other pirates, paired up in our sister guilds, at the same time.

IMO, if done purposely, this is a really bad change.

I agree 100%, POTCO seems to target not just kids, not just adults, but FAMILY. Its a game that the family can play together, and with the linked account option, it allows a family to play together affordably. Forcing families to get separate accounts for all the members takes it outside the range of affordable for many families, especially in todays economy.

Disney has always been considered a family oriented company, removing this feature is one of the first i've seen that contradicts their long time commitment to families.

Frankly, if this is a permanent "feature" I will be cancelling my subscription. I can barely justify paying for the game for so long with no new content. Granted, it doesnt happen often, but I really enjoy being able to play with my son. There is no way I will pay for a second account so we can play together once or twice a month.

Yea I mean for me since I am the only one who plays in my house hold it wasnt much of a deal but this really does stink. If its purposeful then its for the money, because I know alot of parents and their kids are on the same account and link to play at the same time.

ahoy mates, when beta went to testing i was having trouble with the open chat on my Founder pirate so i linked a new acct as the "Adult" then edited the founder pirate acct. to open chat...it worked well except that i had to log in under the new adult acct (still do to keep the chat enabled). That pirate acct WAS blue unlimited and has now (in test) become limited...bummer since that pirate was my leading pirate. Well since i found that out i logout to login under my test "Founder" pirate and noticed i couldnt go back to the linked acct...the arrows at dockside were gone. But i could scroll thru my linked accts going from left to right..... OK to explain better..i have 4 linked accts. and used to be able to scroll thru the accts from logging in under the acct that is the farthest right..then it lets you scroll thru linked accts from right to left. If you login to your pirate that is the furthest to the left of your linked accts you will not be able to click arrows to go right...i hope this is understandable and helpful..lol It basically stinks since now my test pirate founder is like level 7 lol and i might as well say goodbye to my other pirates on test.

Well if this is intentional or accidental, when this hits open (and if this "update" goes along with it), Id probably go visit live chat support and find it out for myself.

I have the same issue, cant log into one account go to the other pirate list and select a pirate. I have a feeling this is a glitch. Has anyone repoted this to disney?

Hate to say this, but we cant pay for our accounts yearly anymore. I found that out by accident the other day. Hope they change that again. However I have a feeling they wont. After all Disney wants money.
