POTC could really do with an SOS button - Pirates of the Caribbean Online Fansite & Forums

several times I have been trying to stumble backwards away from a dread scorpion or grenadier etc and it was just too awkward to shout for help it would be great if there was an on screen SOS button that would send a shout out to all your friends who were logged in.

it could possibly be a pain for some people but I am sure that the potc team could have an ignore sos option in the menu or something similar

That would just be annoying. Nobody would care or come.

Hmmm I think thats a great idea. If an illuminated SOS appeared on top of your head when health is low that would help. Many a time when in the midst of a swordfight with other people and guards/skellys etc health can become dangerously low. Having an SOS is infinitely easier than trying to type "Help I need health!!" whilst fighting. And 3 tonics dont go far and take ages to fill back up when you've used one.

I think it's a great idea too. I come to aid of friend pirates when I'm not in the middle of a battle myself.

Yes, tonics take too much time to buy, and are expensive. A SOS appearing under your title would be good, and have a message pop up to your guild.

I usually have to type and fight/run at the same time, no fun bc I end up in jail lol

I don't think sending it to online friends/guild would really do much. By the time anyone decided to TP to you, you'd have been able to outrun it and be on your way anyway. Maybe a shout though, just in case someone is around you and doesn't know you're getting your butt kicked.
