Body shape?

They won't be able to restore a pirate who's been deleted for that long. Disney said a week is the max to get back a pirate.

Disney has already sent me an email confirming they will NEVER return to old body types so no use in wasting your time hoping. Yes, cannot restore pirates that have been deleted for over a week.

[Pangolin]

Platinum, I heard that you can only bring the pirate back only if you deleted him/her less than seven days ago?

[Platinum Pirate]

That's what I'm reading here Pangolin. According to the last two posters, we can't get them back after seven days. I know what their policy was and at the time I was told the same about the 7-day removal process. Support clarified to me about the confusion. I tried to contact support last week but ran into a bug at their feedback. Ended up sending a bug report instead. lol

Anyway, that feedback worked today. I tested it by requesting that they add Spineskull to the chat dictionary. Just one of those that shouldn't be in italics. rofl

Afterwards, I went through my email and found their official statement from way back when. I copied and pasted that in my feedback regarding this matter. I frankly need another clarification from them again. I appreciate what Captain Sharktooth and Cannonfury stated, but I need to read it for myself. If they changed their policy, fine. It will lead to some other stuff that I think needs to be addressed. And to that end, I will see very satisfying results.

They are too slim

I was told by disney live chat a year or so ago when I asked. I believe too many people were deleting and restoring over and over again so it became a chore to dig up months or years ago deleted pirates. You can still send a message to Disney, asking if u want.

How do you know if you have the old or new body shape?

bottom text says "Small Target" for the first line

Being smaller is better for PvP because it just makes you harder to hit for the other person.

Then they start complaining sometimes... well at least in my experiences with the shrinking potion,,,

I couldn't see that picture for some reason...

Anyway, I don't think it makes any difference. I would guess that every body type and size has the same area they can be hit. You can't use potions in PvP now either, so that can't help.

Back when there were still those player bubbles, a short person would have the same bubble as a a taller person, and you couldn't jump over either on the same height level.

Okay, as promised, they did change their policy. They admit to changing other policies over the years which I did not ask which in particular. According to POTCO, there are two timetables for players to restore their deleted pirates. Those with Basic membership have 7 days to get them back while those with Unlimited Access have 30 days. Big difference. It is very important to contact their Tech Support as soon as possible. I did not ask if that timetable is lengthened or shortened when membership has changed from Basic to Unlimited or from Unlimited to Basic. My conservative guess is that it remains the same based on whatever the current membership was. In any case, contact them immediately just to be on the safe side.

Now, it is true that at this time POTCO will not change this new policy about restoring pirates like they use to. Much of it has to do with graphical errors they wanted to remove and smooth over. For those of us who did not see such errors nor made a big issue about them, this doesn't make sense. We have seen all sorts of graphical errors with NPCs and with those new bodies. Apparently, they simply streamlined it regardless so the game runs better for most if not all of their customers.

I can understand that. It's possible for them to change their minds again. I don't think they will go back to the old bodies. Yes, they said they won't but if they change their minds, then an alternative will present itself. If one did which allowed you to have that old body style, would you like that?

Maybe, only if they let you change your current prates Body shape to an old shape. I wanted my Pirate to have a triangle body.

[stevefrank]

Yes. you asking question about old pirate game. Just play updated game..

[Bubbazeke707]

Remember the semi - muscular one? The one before the Triangle that seems so popular when I see a level 50? I have that old body shape. That's what I got. I'm glad I got that because Triangle people were so popular and common that it sometimes annoyed me. And I look GREAT with tattoos and piercings ( Not to brag, but many pirates do look awesome in that. ) Now all I want is a Dwarf body shape...

[Crimson Rose]

Well I for one think the older male body with the tiny waist and huge shoulders looks disgusting. I'm not sure I can take one of those pirates seriously, they look like something out of an OLD cartoon. I wish that, when Disney eliminated that choice, they'd substituted proper bodies for those deformed freaks.

Is this some kind of male fantasy to look absurdly muscular or something? Maybe we should pole the female players. I think a lot of them would agree with me.

Who exactly are you trying to impress with your comical body?

Actually, I'd say most people find those type of bodies to be better than these new ones. Most of this hacking taking place these days are for the very reason that people want the old bodies types for themselves.
