My letter to POTCO

[nitnek]

I think the most important thing in the game must be the new update (Kraken, customize ship, new chapter, new isle, can be over lvl40, pvp with ship,..) It's my opinion.

i agree with guild server cause i'm tired of some bilge rat fighting at something i'm fighting just to annoy me and take away some notoriety i earn

This is annoying....You man the front guns on teh war frigate for a reason, yet you lose crew bonus cause ur too far?!? Make the radius a bit eider. Who wants to be shackled to your crew like your attached at the hip?

Agreed.

Guild servers would be the best thing. No lag, and just think about your own guild server....
DXD pop-ups would be very useful, better than posting your events on POF al the time.

[Kate McGrim]

Most of all the unlimited access servers that would be great! i don't think they'd do the guild server due to there are so many guilds. They would have to come up with very tuff requirements unless......only guild could see server?

[Kaizoku]

I can sort of see how people would want guild servers, but at the same time... I can't. Isn't the one of points of being in a guild and having it posted beneath your name to show the mini-community within the game? Don't you feel a sense of pride when you're running by other players and the name of your guild is there in gleaming white announcing that, yes, you are a member of Pirate Guild 9124575165.2? I think the level and unlimited access servers are more reasonable. Guild servers would just be self-indulgent and elitist, but the others would help lighten the load.

And as for the guild bonuses, I'm agreeing with the others who say that they're not fair. My guild has a whopping four members, including myself. Three of us are friends offline, and one is just a guy (a basic access player) I've helped out several who wanted to join -- even though he knows we're small and relatively useless as far as "strength" is concerned. We started out just wanting some literary themed name for our guild, and mostly use it as a way to be on different servers and still be able to talk without having to whisper. If there was a notoriety bonus for guilds that overrode the crew bonus, my friends and I would be out of luck, and all because we don't always want to crew together but we do like to keep tabs. We have our own little lives on the game and they don't always overlap with one another. Our friends lists aren't all the same and we don't always have the same quests to work on. For us, those guild bonuses would be absolutely useless. That's been pointed out by several people, but as it would affect me directly, I feel the need to say it again. =)

I don't think guild servers would have much point but after thinking about it they could actually manage it fairly cheap if they were to use virtual servers as long as it was for reasonable sized guild's although it would increase the maintenance costs.

as stated by plenty of other people level or PVP servers would be a better idea although level servers could be hard to work ie: if you are level 9 and need help you would probably want lvl 15 or so who would be on another server

[Twisted]

If people want guild servers, why not make it a contest? Like a guild house contest. You EARN the guild house by playing, killing enemies. Then, a 20% increase in rep for earning this and guild only access.

Limit the house to 1 for each island and let all the guilds fight it out. For each island, different enemies to defeat. Even if you have a small guild, you can still have a shot at it based on the number of enemies you can defeat. Of course the bigger guild is, it will have a better chance, but if the smaller ones work hard you never know.

Seems fair enough to me...

[Angel]

Not really twisted, cause then your gonna try to get the strongest guild you can. That or create a PvP guild just to desolate all and get a house? Why not say "Fragguiles is the server that "XXX" guild uses.

I know I use 3 servers when I log in. My guild knows those servers and they are free to join if they want, but unlike POTBS, we can still chat if we are on different servers. If you dont like the ideal servers, just pick a quiet one.

[Twisted]

I think you missed the point on the post there Angel. I said 1 house for every island, and a different enemy to kill. Not PvP. Then the guild would have to spend alot of time there, maybe some other people in the guild wouldn't want to be there or would have quests to do etc.

Regarding Guild only servers, the suggestion is out there for Disney to consider, I dont think anyone is "against" it, just some are being more realistic in their expectations.
If at all possible, they might offer a "Guild Server" for an additional fee to cover the exclusive hardware costs and bandwidth, there are too many guilds to consider such an offering for free.
As far as hosting a volume of servers, the idea of virtual servers would allow multiple 'servers' per system. It would require a system that normally runs the environment once, to load it multiple times, once for each guild it hosts, dividing its resources among them. This would likely result in far worse equipment/hardware related lag than we see today. Remember ALL the servers share the same internet connectivity, so net lag will not change at all.

As far as any Rep, Gold, any bonus's being granted to Guilds, I dont think there should be any bonus's for guilds. The advantages of being a guild are already what they are. Guild management options are in big need, lets see some of work in that area!

My suggestion would be to improve PvP so active guilds into regular competition can test thier skills against each other, build regular 'crew' rosters, and have tournaments, etc. Continue to provide stats on XD, this already offers guild vs guild stats from an overall game perspective.

Im just a cranky ole pirate, spillin his thoughts on deck again...

Happy Piratin Matey's!

Except the problem with Disney XD is it is only available to US players. Those of us who play and are outside of the US have no access to all these stats.

I wanna see Dis open up the DXD servers or make the guild options way better. In my old online game Seafight, we logged into a page, and one of the tabs was your guild page. We posted all our info on the guild news - TeamSpeak address, guild forum page etc. Dis may not be able to go that far, but some way of making announcements to your guildies, online and offline, like a popup would be nice. I would love to let my guild members know of a forum I am setting up, but I cannot give out websites without fearing "the BAN"

[Twisted]

Sam, you think fixing anything about PvP is gonna help? All the people that want to PvP team up and its hard for new people to get into it and win... I have joined a few PvP and gotten my you know what kicked cause I was the highest level and the others couldn't do much to help.

I'll take my pirate to other places, PvP is not something I am into. Having 3 level 30's slashing at me at the same time is not fun. Getting your name at the top of the list for PvP might be cool to ya, but I find it boring. The lists on DXD don't matter in the game.

[davy redflint]

find a quite sever and have ur guild meet there work for us most of the time.
