Can't connect to POTCO? *Merged*

[Jack Chainward]

Ahoy!

So i downloaded the Launcher for Mac, and when i start it it checks version and what not, it downloads a new one, and then depackages it. When that is done it restarts and does it over again. What should i do?

Don't have a Mac, but from what I am hearing, Disney is trying to get pirates to use the browser version. I lost my desktop launcher for test when my computer went "Poof" & could not recover it. Now, I play test from browser. idk-maybe someone else has a better answer, Jack.

Hello guys.(:
My POTCO launcher isn't loading.
I mean it's loading (connecting to the game it says), but it takes forever to get me through the queue.
I have basic access obviously, and I decided to come back to pirates after a little over a year.
I'm trying to get on it to see if I want a membership or not.
I have only been on it once throughout the days of trying to get on it.
It seems really difficult to get through the queue.. or is that just me ?
I don't know if it's going slow because I haven't been on it often, or if it's just suppose to take awhile to get through queue ?
If someone could explain to me why their is a queue (or why I have to wait so long), and how come it's not loading fast.. I would appreciate it.
Sorry if this has already been posted btw, I don't have good eyesight.
So if it has, mods may close.. but I do need an answer. xD.

Also, is this game worth buying membership again ?
I'm not really sure, considering I haven't been able to get on.

**Just for your information too..**
I have a mac computer and I do have a fast connection, so I do not think that is the problem here. Before, when I played pirates.. I was able to play the game just fine.
I also tried to get on pirates in my Firefox Browser, but that wouldn't work.
The thing downloaded successfully it said, but I don't know how to restart my browser. :/

Thanks.(:

The Launcher isn't available for download anymore. Whatever you ARE downloading is probably just a blank thing. Pirates is transferring everything to browser, so unless you had it before, you won't get in via launcher now.

Going to get on live chat but the same thing is happening to me.
EDIT: of course live chat isnt working

Actually when i was in live chat the rep gave me a link to the launcher, they said since people are having trouble with the browser they are letting us use it.

For PC:

For Mac:

Used it.... still not working for me so far...
I pressed run, should I have pressed save? Downloaded the new version, and logged in, still at the connecting to the game...

My browser graphics have strange white colour , with some other colours here and there on the QAR and several islands.

If they don't fix one of these problems, I guess I won't be buying POTCO's unlimited this summer...

Edit: I just realized there's a link to a free RIFT trial in the AD on the top of the forum , I thought the mods are strongly against links to other games
