Saying Goodbye to POTCO? Read on Friends...

[MacIronhawk]

After reading some of the posts, I think some of us are going a little overboard with protesting. If you protest the game by not playing that's one thing but not paying is a whole different story. You're not helping the game at all when you decide to stop paying for the game to protest.

I think too many people are complaining because they're bored. Why is it that I can wait a year and a half to two years before a huge update goes to toontown but my fellow POTCO players can't wait even a year at the least?

Too many of us are raising the expectations we expect from Disney. You can't expect them to come out with some grand update once a year can you? There are players in the game that have four mastered pirates while others only have one. Now look at that and tell me who will wait longer for the bigger update. Too many people in this game are hardcore players that not only want big updates each year but expect them. Protesting the game isn't going to help the developers at all. In fact, it will probably hurt the game!

Lets pretend half of the players in POTCO get together to protest by not paying for the game. What's going to happen when Disney stops making money off of the game? If they see a huge decrease in money being made they can cut the game if they want. POTCO isn't fun to Disney. It's supposed to be a money maker. What would you do if you were spending more money on a product for your business than making money from it? Like most business 'people', they'd probably say the heck with it and cut it so they can keep making money off of other things.

POTCO is just a product to Disney. If half the members stop paying for the game they can cut it if they want. Why should they pay money on something that's not making any money because their customers are too impatient?

Disney probably wasn't expecting a huge amount of players to begin with. It took toontown three years to have just three full servers and POTCO got three full servers in less than a year. If that gives us any idea of how many players are already on POTCO, then I'm not surprised a lot of players are already bored.

I'm sure if all the impatient players could have a one on one talk with someone from Disney, the Disney employee would ask you to wait. Don't waste away your life on a game by making four pirates and mastering them in less than a year or two. It is just a game afterall. If some of us are too OCD to limit ourselves then that's too bad. I mean dang. Protesting the game isn't going to do anything. Be patient. I've seen kid players that have been more patient than adult players in the game. I went out and bought myself a PS3 to keep me busy. I found myself playing Need for Speed games more than POTCO. Hey, it kept me busy for a while but now I'm back to online games.

It's not hard to limit yourself from a game. If you can't limit yourself from a game then how can you limit yourself for everything? I realize that adults(and retired) probably have more time on the computer than kids. Even if you have more time that doesn't mean you shouldn't limit yourself. Afterall, who wants to be found dead at a computer?
