Noob days

[Solomon O]

The recent addition of Infamy has made me realise how much the game has changed when I first joined. It made me realise how much I miss being a noob.... yea thats right. Here you can post some of your fondest memories of being a noob, or stuff you remember from the old PoTCO.

I remember wating for hours for alot of people to come into Abbassa, Port Royal and to where the Mercenary is. I thought they were the hardest enemies to kill.

I remember telling my maxed lvl 40 friend (40 was lvl cap back then) to not sink ships straight away, insted let me first shoot the navy cadets with my cannon before he sinks the ship.

I remember being confused why some peoples names were grey, some were blue and very few were yellow.

I remember the old Tortuga and Port Royal.... not Padres.

Happy noob days everybody. Enjoy them while it lasts

[Ofury/ Tom]

I remember the old chat colors and when there was lots of yellows lol

I remember when i was young(er) then i am today, i wanted t make guild called: The spartans. (no . in guild name yet) It was taken so i made The Spartans... (... was in guild name) BIG TIME NOOB, if you ask me...

[Tiberius Fireskull]

I miss all that... the thing I miss most is that feeling of mystery. The feeling that I don't know whats out there. Looking at that smoking island called Padres Del Fuego and wondering all about that. It made me really feel excited. Or that one time I teleported to my friend when he was in Tormenta Cave (before it was called Cursed Caverns), and I saw all the fish people and I got so excited.

That's what I miss. That feeling of excitement to discover all that stuff. Its gone now, and it is one of those things that you just can't get back.

I remember when I started playing July 2008. Everybody was nice. The islands were so fun to explore mostly the Port Royal one. The sailing music made me want to sail untill I sunk. From when everybodies body shape was big and bulky like a football player. It's that now I do not have this feeling anymore really. I think the past was better then now. So I wish that could happen and I be a noob again.

I remember old chat colors too

Aye, I miss it to. I remember those good ole days when I thought beating the crab on Port Royal beach was impossible. Ah, those good ol' days.

The feeling of mystery, its kind of impossible to describe, sort of like a fire running through your chest, sword drawn. Raven's Cove sort of brought back the feeling of mystery, but not really because there was no epic plot. Jolly is blocking rum. Kind of fades away from Recovering from the Black Pearl, no?

Old Port Royal was the best. I remember camping out on the bridge near old Fort Charles I thought level 30s were unstoppable. Now a level 36 That couldn't be further from the truth.

[Isaiah Ropeswine]

I remember thinking leveling up was a HUGE deal...

I never get that feeling anymore. I sure do miss those times.

[Catherine Ironcutter]

Well, let's see...

I remember when I went into Fort Charles and got a skull chest. I freaked out, thinking it was this super rare thing I might never see again. I got a crab sticker bayonet, 200 gold, and a playing card. I thought this was the best loot anyone could possibly get. Epic noob fail, haha.

Oh yeah. And a level 6 me going to the back beach of Padres to take on Darkhart all by me lonely self. Heh. Big fail. One throwing dagger and I was in jail.

Said it all for me. I used to just cruise around on my light sloop, looking at the selection in the weapons stores, and seeing all those big ships with my jaw on the floor. Then I got UA. I was so PSYCHED for about a month, I had a plain Galleon and felt like the king of the world. Then, I got a War Galleon, a guild, crazy looting parties and a ton of gold. Then I got a War Fleet. Then I got the staff. Then I got to level 40... Then I stopped training...

[SEAKING23]

LOl i know how y'all feel... i was so exited to see new islands, what i did was journey to every single one of them. When i saw the big war frigates, i just though that i'd get a ship 5x your size jack, then we'll see whose the newb, aye?

[Jim seapaine]

I remember when they changed Port Royal... I must of gotten lost like 20 times.

[Dog Gunmorgan]

I wasn't playing when they changed port royal and Padres was already there when I started but I do remember that sense of mystery and and the BP quest was exciting and challenging (to a noob) but now that Doggy is 38(ish) and I have been around awhile with my other pirates that quest is just plain annoying because I realize now that most of what you do is run in circles looking for stuff lol

I also remember when they raised the level cap from 40 to 50 and from 25 to 30(for weapons) I was very upset because at that point I had Sailing and Sword mastered and when they did that I had to do it again! I have sword mastered again but I'm still working on sailing!

anyways I do miss me noob days and I wish they would come up with another story quest like the BP that is new and exciting for everyone!

I wish they put the older islands back if they do how about a server just for older players and they can hang out and share the memories.
