Noob days

[WitchdoctorDan]

I wish they would put back the old islands, retextured. Or not. The new islands were and are terrible. Port Royal is (or at least feels like) half it's size. I miss PR the most...

[Tiberius Fireskull]

I miss Padres the most! How many of you enjoyed Cliff Diving?!

[SEAKING23]

Maybe the EITC should try another attempt to end piracy....

I remember teleporting to a public War Galleon for the first time, and whispering to my other noob friends I was on one. I was so excited. I remember the old Port Royal, and that long walk all the way up to Fort Charles. I remember struggling to shoot down a Sea Viper. And I remember seeing everyone's names without the name of a guild under them. I remember getting killed so many times by Claude D'Arcis in Thieves Den. I remember how easy it was to navigate the caves back then too. So many things I miss....

This.

I only really remember the old Tortuga. All others are lost to me, minus the area going to Ft. Charles. Sadness.

[Panos]

Why did they have to change the islands (and caves) anyway? Was there a reason?

[Sarah Yellowwrecker]

i remember when the noob captain leon came on and made a giant EITC and tormented pirates - sigh - i wish the three co empires never happened

[SEAKING23]

Well whats wrong with role playing?

I disagree with the EITC thing myself, i mean, they CAN'T do anything, but its his choice.

I haven't played consistently for the last two and a half years, but I remember there being only a few different types of guns. The Normal Pistol, Double Barrel, and Triple Barrel. I'm pretty sure when I bought my Sloop it was 2,000 not 1,000 like they are now. I would get 300 gold from plundering ships and think it was the best plunder ever.

I was away from POTCO for about three years and just came back.

Most of the islands are different and there are a few more. I miss some of the friends I had in the game who are all gone.

[MacIronhawk]

I don't want Port Royal, Tortuga, and Padres to switch back to what they used to be, but I'd really like to see them take those islands, and rename them so we can have three "new" places to go to.

The islands were really fun to go on, and it seemed that throughout time Disney kept on dumbing down little graphics here and there because of "lag", and we ended up losing them because they caused lag. Honestly, I don't believe that they could cause that much lag. I have more lag now than I did with the old islands, so there's really no reason to take the islands back, redo them a bit, and add them to the game.

[SEAKING23]

Well POTCO is a low budget game... maybe it had something to do with that?

[Ofury/ Tom]

i remember the days when Founders outnumbered us regular players and the small fraction of basics inculding myself.

Do you remember fighting forever to get the level 20 weapons? The quests were long and hard but it was worth it! I had an old tradition when I got a new quest weapon. I would kill the cadets in front of the Fort Charles to test it out. Remember trying to kill the fly traps for doll? The fly traps were a higher level and they were so hard to kill. The quest weapons used to be the best weapons in the game before El Patron's Weapons came out.I used to fight on Fort Charles to get a loot container. I got excited when I got my first bayonet!

I remember getting to level 15 sailing for my war ships. I launched each individually and my brother taught me how to glitch into the ships. I saved my gold for a long time before I got my war ships. I was so excited to buy my war ships. I got to level 15 during a double rep event. I got so mad because somebody went afk on my ship.I couldn't repair my ship or relaunch my ship. I was so ready for my war ships that I actually sunk my frigate to get the afk pirate off.

Do you remember before the repairing games came out? I do because I used to use the privateering islands to free repair my ship. I would launch on the French island and repair my ship for free! That was before I knew that people could attack you or sunk your ship.

As a noob, I used to get lost on Tortuga. I would say that I was a pirate who couldn't find the bar! I got lost on Port Royal and Padres too. I used to sail to random islands just to explore them. That was a very brief look into my noob days.

[SEAKING23]

Yeah i miss the days of exploration
