Deliberate crashing or just locked up?

(Programatically, anyone in PvP mode 10 minutes or more could just be autobanned.)

But I won't suggest Disney do that. Abassa will always be abassa. Anyone going there, pretty much deserves what they get. (Yes, network saturation of abassa affects other servers - fortunately, not much.)

I myself want adult-only servers. PVP-only servers would make as much sense. Warcraft manages this just fine, astonishingly. Problem is (from my point of view) that Disney doesn't see fit to give a vast number of players different options because, unlike Warcraft, they don't have 11 million players and counting, and instead they assume that because there is something on one server you don't like you will say "Oh well!" and find a different server and be perfectly happy and content with that. Honestly I'd love it if the Mouse got a little less tolerant of people who find it 'funny' to crash others and so on.

I pay good money to play the game and put up with people being annoying cusses because I enjoy the game enough to do so. But it does kind of offend me that I 'deserve' getting booted because I choose to go on Abassa in order to find open ships for my gold funds, and possibly to attain some new player friends. I will attest to the fact that the times of day I am able to play there are typically no open ships (or are of the light variety) on any other server but Abassa...be they quiet or ideal. While I understand that yes, there are some out there, it's highly inconvenient (and hard on my computer) to have to server hop up to 12 or 13 times before finding a ship that is open, has the capacity for me to not be wasting time earning gold, etc. Simply because I choose the sensible place for the most options to be doesn't mean I deserve getting booted.

I see what you're saying and I don't completely disagree, nor am I arguing. I just think that not everyone deserves punishment for the actions of others. /shrug. --passes around the bottle of rum--

I don't think there's really a need for adult servers, but rather PvP servers. Disney has fixed the PvP glitch so many times, they should just give the players what they want. Having PvP servers would deplete the purpose of spending time doing the PvP glitch, making it a win-win situation.

I do agree they need to be giving out more punishments to those that take part in the glitch though. It may be fun for those doing it, but it's messing with other players (such as the crashing).

I agree with Sven a PVP server would be better than an adult server, your forgetting that this is a Disney game and it is intended for ages 8 to 13.

I think both types of servers would be fabulous, and I'd take either or both if they'd give them to us and be happy. I'd never use the PVP server myself, but it'd be good to have it for those who like PVP. And I personally get tired of "DO U HAVE A BF?!?" and related statements or queries. I know and am constantly reminded it's geared toward a younger audience, but I am allowed delusional wishes and fantasies of my perfect POTCO game like everyone else.

As I've said, I deal with what I don't like in the game because I enjoy playing. One has to take the bad along with the good. (And sometimes put the bad on ignore or report them if they are particularly rude... =P ) Rarely do the 'don't likes' outweigh the 'likes' of the game. But if I had my druthers in the Caribbean, I'd want an Open Chat only server as an option (not requirement for Open Chat), because of personal preference. Disney will likely never institute either type of server and people will always exploit and abuse the game in some fashion. Such is the way of the world, I suppose.

Also, as far as the original post is concerned, thanks to everyone who replied. I've not had much issue with anything lately, but I've not been on much during a 'rush-hour' time frame, either. (Thankfully.)

Just a point of clarification: I didn't mean you "deserve" to be crashed, I meant you deserve to have to listen to the dingbats on tugabassa, if you subject yourself to being there. For me, gold farming on public ships, means avoiding Tortuga - especially late at night if only Abassa / Andaba are ideal.

I just have one question for you Jello743... how much attention do you need in pvp glitch to get banned personally by someone?

let me define something for u mate. : " third part programs " means : software created by programmers or publishers independent of the manufacturer of the hardware for which it is intended. this is not a Program it is a Gaming bug which is a glitch if u dont know what a glitch is let me define it for u " Glitch " means :

a fault or defect in a computer program, system, or machine. Pvp GLITCH is a BUG if u dont know what a Compuert bug means heres the define :
A software bug is the common term used to describe an error, flaw, mistake, failure, or fault in a computer program or system that produces an incorrect or unexpected result.

Im not sure where people get the time to find these glitches.


Edit:Also anyone else notice how rude and illmannered they can be(not all are but a majority are).

[StellaInTheSky]

Ok Edward, thanks...one of those things I wasn't really sure what was meant since I'm reading it and not hearing it said to me. =) I typically teleport to Cuba or Padres before switching to Abassa as they usually have fewer people. Abassa's Tortuga scares me to be honest. o.0

And I've wondered the same thing myself many times, Jason. LOL.

yea the only way to get crashed is for both of you to be in pvp glitch. when they kill you they will keep reviving you but not fully. they will say go to jail and if they kill you in jail your crashed, you get a never ending loading screen and your player is offline. abassa crashed because there were a whole bunch of pvp glitchers and well it just crashed to get all of them gone.

I have on occasion tried to do the PVP glitch (only to fail miserably I must add xD), however I have always done it on a quiet server, so I disrupt as few people as possible. And for those of you that think its FUNNY to crash other people, do realize that you are making another player's gaming experience go down because of that. Seriously, if you have ANY consideration for other people, dont crash people, lag them, or do anything that can give them a bad experience online. Personally, they should just make a PVP server and/or island so that people will lose the motivation to use this glitch.

[Dolnor]

Using any bug/glitch/error to your advantage and everyone else's disadvantage is considered cheating and player griefing. Everyone who does it on purpose should be rewarded with a short ban and longer bans as they continue to disrupt everyone time.

One way to insure that new subscribers never come to this game is by allowing these types of issues to continue. Most people want to play for fun, not get griefed or cheated. It is sad to see Disney not lifting a finger to solve this ongoing issue. -(

PvP-only servers would at least divide the amount of PvP glitchers. I know that some do the glitch for attention, while others do it just for fun. Having a PvP only server would at least draw those who do the glitch for fun to that respective server. They may be heavily outweighed compared to those who want attention, but I would think that any decrease in the number of PvP glitchers would help.

Adult only servers serve no purpose. For one, you can have those who lie about their age to get on that server, and then bring the trouble over with them. Also, just because one is of a mature age, doesn't make them mature. I've seen older players who act down-right terrible, and yet I also see younger players who have such fine attitudes and maturity levels. "You can only be young once, but you can be immature all your life."

What exactly is the PVP glitch, all I've seen relating to PVP is some level 50's all with red level tags killing each other.

I wont explain how to do it, but its a glitch where you have to "escape" the PvP area using hidden "doors" in the area. When you get out, anyone in the PvP match can kill each other, except out where ever. It lags others, and is takes a lot of practice. As I said, I have never achieved it... nor do I really want to.

Ive been in a pvp glitch WITH A lv 50 and got crashed by a lv 50 so i cant do it because of the lv 50s.I tried to report but when ever i do the glitch theres ALWAYS a lv 50 trying to kill me when trying or Im getting crashed.
