Will there be any trading developed in PotCO?

[TopRamen]

Yeah in all seriousness, I'm pretty annoyed at how superficial this game is right now. What they've implemented is pretty solid, but they don't really have a lot. This is the first time I've been in on a launch of an MMO, so I don't know if this is typical or what.

I know that this is a Disney game, so supposidly it should be geared towards kids, but it's also an MMO, so a month from now it'll be all teens-20s playing it.

Maybe they should have seas for kids with no trading, pirates code and simplistic leveling, and seas for more "mature" players with more advanced options. I wanna be able to shoot navy boys!

[DrStinglock]

Yeh, seems uber basic, and I would so much like to start a new character with one of the frigates I have now or atleast a nice gold outlay...

You can shoot Navy guys with steel shot. I think it's from level 18.

You can shoot them with steel, but not lead? How does that make sense?

Wow is a lot detailed, even for einstein i think and i know some kids playing that.
Knight Online also, i know kids from primary school plays it.
Maybe too detailed is too detailed, but at least they can make potco detaily balanced. As i mentioned before, Trade, armour upgrades, weapon upgrades, and "real skill updates" and i am not talking about a few like we have now.

If you look at every fun game,Eve, Wow, Eq, GW,CoH... there is traid. This game is very limited, and while I understand they were trying to get it out, it is not going to last with out some major updates/ added content. Trade, better chat, classes?, armor or at least new clothing, weapons.... the list goes on and on. If these and other things dont get implimented and fast, i dont see this game lasting more then a few months. I mean all ready in just what 9 days, people have hit the end of the story line. Lets face it were all paying to be bata testers now. I know about a half dozen people including myself that dont intend to renew our subscription if there are't some changes made, and with that half doze people come another doze or so new players, who arnt joing the game untill we see what happens. I hope the developers read these forms and take all of the sugestions to hart.

I agree with most of that, but Classes? There would only be one, pirate, lol.


If there was trade in this game, I would love this even more. Like my crew/guild could donate so we could afford bigger ships.

I have seen too many Game economies wrecked by in-game trading. I actually like the POTCO does not have any - as once they "artifacts" aka uber-weapons - the game items for real $$ starts. Ultima Online is still trying to "fix" their wrecked economy. Just my opinion.

[PirateSavvy]

In my opinion, I really don't see the need for trading.

[Magilicotti]

Trading gold.. bad idea, mates. Anything else sure.. but there's nothing else of value, money is the only real value, and it's a bad idea.. a really bad one.

But.. too many people want it, it wil come to pass I fear. People are too afraid to get what they want on their own. They want what they want, and want it now.. then enter RMT..

It's just a matter of when. Depending on how bad they allow RMT to control thier game... here's hoping Disney figure out how to do it, without the impact of other MMO's, like XI, and more like WoW.

The problem with being able to trade anything (ships or money) is that the Gold Farmers will appear and ruin the game. You won't stand a chance against them. They are in it for the money.

Ever heard of lead poisoning? Steel can't really poison you. Lead is more dangerous! You can get an infection and die! (Being sarcastic.)

Anywho, gold trading and giving is pretty much useless until clothing items and all that good stuff comes out. What would you do with it, buy a Frigate? Until the treasures are tradeable too, there is no point in giving gold.

[Mythic]

Hey, If they do implement trading of items clothing and such Ive got a fancy, bright orange, opene, short sleeved shirt Id be happy to sell for 9k!

That's why there's a money cap

It would be nice to have a guild bank, where each member (depending on their rank) can spend a certain amount of guild money each day.
