People don't talk much on POTC huh?

[Mr.LoveLocket]

I am always talking and i never had a day without sum1 not

[Jade McKidd]

I find that most really don't chat that much, other than I need this or I need that. There are a few on my friends list that I do chat with, and being chatty myself I love to talk about game and anything else that we can chat about.

Dark Scarlett, if ever you see me I would love to add you since you and I seem to be chatty and probably would get along really well!

I have also noticed that POTCO is a very quiet game compared to other games that I have played. For me, I'll gladly hang out and chat a pirate up. However, if I'm on the run, firing a cannon, or driving a ship, you're out of luck mateys. I have such a hard time walking and talking at the same time. I figured alot of people were like me and that's why they were quiet.

I like having a peaceful game to relax in. Don't get me wrong, I have lots of mates to chat with and I spend alot of time in whispers,guild chat, etc. It's nice to see the local chat not clogging up the scenery.

Ditto, if you wanna talk a lot, go to Tortuga on Abassa by the shipwright. And if you're lucky, you'll run into the pirates that are on the Top (100) Pirates (overall) Leaderboard for enemies defeated or ships sunk board or card games or or some other list who like to talk about themselves a lot... Hey now I used to be a "Top (100) Pirate" for PvP: Mayhem, but highest I ever got was #87 or so, and I don't talk about myself that much like those people.

Oh wow, I have the opposite experience! I sometimes wish they would all be quiet! haha My guild talks a lot when certain people are on. I tend to ignore anything in blue unless I see my name come up. And I have rarely been on a silent crew. We have a lot of people in different guilds that just hang out together , play and talk. So it is rarely quiet when I am online.... wait maybe it's me! ha ha ha

I find chatty people hate each other. Each wants to talk, none to listen. Anywhoo, with the few solid friends I've made, we chatted about all sorts of dumb hoo-blah that made for one heck of a fun time. I also had another who seemed to be terrible in combat: she'd do all these things when went to jail, when she got rescued, etc. And then she'd talk nonsense to pass the time as we leveled, and I'd chime in.

Among those I know, it is great and all.

I went on my basic account which doesnt have the check mark. I did noticed half the people i knew weren't talking. I bet it must be because of the filter but when its on. I always have people talking

Overall you may be right about people being silent on the game. Some of it's due to the filters if you have then on and some of it is people working their quests. It's really annoying to chat with people while trying to finish a quest.

I suggest that you find a good guild. Usually that is where you find most of the chatting going on randomly. Most people crew up with their friends and chat in crew chat, so you never see it unless your in crew.

The other way is to go leveling in different areas and you will run into several people doing the same thing. i usually strike a conversation up with them, then after a while we crew up and takw turns healing each other. I found this to be real rewarding, because that is were i have found some of my best friends in the game.

Unfortunately the reason for the speedchat, Plus chat etc is understood, but with no way of knowing who is subject to it. There is no way to know how to communicate to other players.

I as an unrestricted pirate will NEVER default to using that impossible plus chat so those that are restricted can hear me, even though my content is never outside of the rules. Personally I think a pirate forced to these restrictions is a handicapped pirate, and nothing against the handicapped, but perhaps when choosing servers it should also filter pirates with the same chat restrictions to the same server (unless a pirate chooses to migrate to a server on thier own).

If I type to you, and you cant communicate with me, I will ignore you in the game, plain and simple. I will almost never lower myself to turning on the plus, why should I frustrate myself further to try to help someone that probably wont type back anyhow.

Um, because they are usually the ones that need the most help? I wonder if I ever met you when my pirate was brand new. And if so, am I still on your ignore list?

Let me rephrase, by ignore, I do not mean I click Ignore on ya.
Im not that cranky!!!!

It just means I pay no attention to the frequent friend/crew requests, and frequent saying of "Help" "Help me". I ask how I can help once or twice, if no response I move on.

Although I like to help people out, I dont want to have to 'work' at it. Perhaps a little perspective. I do computer "telephone support" for a living, prying information out of clients is what I have to do all day. I have no intentions of going through that trouble when im the one paying and trying to relax in a game.

I am usually the same way, Zep. However, the word please always gets me. If a little pirate comes up and asks for help and says "please", I will go through the trouble of using the + chat. Manners go a long way toward getting my assistance.

ot: I was the IT/Help desk person at a small hospital in Kansas for about 2 years (on top of my job as a Department Director). I know I shouldn't have, but when one of the nurses asked me "Have you taken down the internet?", I calmly responed "Yes. I took the internet down for maintenance. It should be back up in a couple of hours."
