Disney Trash's Servers...

[MacIronhawk]

The only reason I'm upset is because taking away the servers wasn't necessary. Maybe they get to keep a few extra bucks in their wallet but look at it this way.

POTCO is just a side thing for Disney, right? They're not going to take money from Disneyland and give it to POTCO, because they profited that money, and they need to keep Disneyland running.

So why can't POTCO make it's own money? Why can a game like WOW or Wizard 101 come out of no where and start making more, and producing more than a Disney game? Why? Is it because Disney stinks when it comes to online game development?

I didn't even hear about WOW until about two years ago, and I thought it was lame, until I saw the hours of gameplay, and the comments about how amazing it is. Some random company called Blizzard comes out and makes a great online game, with content that will last you years. The game will probably be around even when I die, that's how much the developers are dedicated.

Why is Disney suddenly the little boy that doesn't know what he's doing when it comes to an online game? They have Panda3D for crying out loud, and they can't even release content fast. My patience isn't running low, I'll continue to play the game until they shut it down, but what I want to understand is why they're being passed by companies that came out of the blue with a good idea. What happened to Disney's creativity? If Walt Disney were still alive today he'd probably think the amount of work they've put into POTCO is pathetic.

POTCO is aiming for a C, while other games are aiming for an A, and billions of dollars a year. Again, I love POTCO, and the release of Raven's Cove has even made me think it's better than it was when it opened, because they look like they're working on interactive content, instead of a list of chores to do. But, it's not fast enough. I'd like to play this game for a long time(probably makes me sound like a lazy guy living in his moms basement), and it's just not moving as fast as other online games. If they can't speed up the release of content, then the game isn't going to last.
