well if capt walter goes afk i'm sure one of the dueces would be happy to push him on over to the black guard.

[Stephen O'Malley]

I would like to send walter and his crew walking down the plank, seeing how we should be paying our respects to the top 40 of the guild competition (which they didn't help out in!).

[Shnoodell]

-_- they do they even take the time to do these things, i think we all understand that it takes time to make the updates and make the game better, but common, the same thing over and over?

[MacIronhawk]

Another attempt to keep us busy while they try to work on new content.

[Shnoodell]

They don't need to keep us busy, if they want to have weekly updates to the site then get some pencil sharpener (intern) to post a story line every week just for us to read lol.

[ukebec]

Ugh - I agree Schnoodell. The novelty of this wore off a LONG time ago. Work on content, big D, not placation!

[Commodore Larence]

If I had to venture a guess as to where Captain Walter was, I would about say he is on a remote island sipping a cold drink and spending all of our hard earned loot, while the drawing board at the POTCO office sits empty. This is just down right pathetic... The Marceline Guild is nothing, why should they even have any recognition among pirates. I could care less if the whole lot of them end up hanging from the Fort Charles gallows. If the EITC Black Guard need any extra rope, they are more than welcome to any extra I have gathering dust in my ships' cargo holds.

I think Ill show up and volunteer to work for the EITC as long as they pay me in new content. I'll get a crew (per Disney's advice) and flush him out.

[Kaionai]

I give up!....seems to as adults don't matter in disney's eyes anymore it's all about the kiddys! and there (some) cheesy events

[Rosa_ESG]

In other words, if you like interactive game play and have fun in these events, you're either a kid or a loser? Nice, thanks guys, I love the attitude here, everything new to the game must be put down immediately!
I love the events, please bring them on!

[Salty McSeas]

You guys hear of the Brethren Court? It's a group of players - some of whom have commented here on POF that are organizing in-game events - not unlike the events these same GMs help put on.

These GM events offer another aspect of the game - a way for players to role play and have a little fun (AND the RARE chance to interact with the POTCO Online game staff). Captain Walter and the other GMs not only put on a great show but offer insights to future game updates - and don't spoil the fantasy of the game when they appear at these events.

So I get it - when players organize events it's fine, but when the game makers do it, it's lame. Pretty hypocritical - and a great way to support a game you claim to love.

Well said, I for one spent several minutes changing servers yesterday and I seen this event a month back already..

[Shnoodell]

about that insight to knew stuff coming.. well if anybody still trusted that insight and it was believable, well then these events wouldn't be to bad, but we would also have been fighting the kraken back in may, and so on and so forth.

Well, sort of, yes. Player organized events tend to be well thought out and fun for everyone involved. The game makers, on the other hand, pop in, spout off something scripted and riddled in chat, then spend most of the "event" being staffed or naded in a sea of lag.

I understand the role playing thing they're attempting, but it's not LEADING anywhere. I've been to every event and nothing that has been hinted at has come out. Development problems? Probably, but they can't keep saying the same things over and over and expect (some of) us not to get upset when nothing comes of it. Save the rhetoric for the grog blog Disney. If they're going to try for an in-game event, let it be something that's showing us some progress.

[Rosa_ESG]

I am happy with the game as it is, that's the reason I play and pay for it, of course I welcome everything new but I don't see any reason for putting down the game I love O_o
