HYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYPE!!!

 

[James O'martin]

The hype train just got real for me

 

[Shamus The Brute]

They're simply saying they're working their new island into the storyline that Disney had previously created.

Yeah, I know.

Imagine if you're on the internet and you Google search for "Pirates of the Caribbean" and, because of your search, you happen to locate TLOPO's game website. Imagine also you have never played POTCO before nor were even aware of it nor bothered to even glance at Google's description for an explanation into TLOPO. *Further imagine yourself taking an interest in TLOPO on account of the website you had located and then clicked upon the link and then read - if said announcement is posted there as well - that this NEW island has been placed into "Disney Pirates of the Caribbean Online."

From such a scenario I share above, would you be able to understand the difference? Or look at the problem this way, what actual good does it do to throw in Disney's own name there...within such an announcement? In my opinion, it adds no value or further hype for TLOPO and the ex-POTCO community but instead could add to the possibility of confusion to result within the mind of someone on the internet not overly familiar with TLOPO.

The only thing that I see coming from that is search hits for nostalgic Googlers , which I'm unsure if that would be good or bad if that's the term it's hitting on. But I don't wanna drag out that discussion here personally.

The internet is open to everyone (even Disney) and yeah, I don't wanna drag the whole thing out here neither. I just felt compelled to do so and in the end...my track-record in persuading people about such things has been ineffective any way.

I can't believe you actually thought you'd get me excited about this.
Because that would mean that you predicted the future. You're freaking me out, man.

 

[redscarelett]

Has anybody seen a movie called Brigadoon?
Instead of a century cycle, as Irish legend goes. It could be 10o days game time.
The movie has been made by many motion pictures companies, including the house of mouse.

 

[nraven13]

Yep. That's an old one and still very good.

 

[Captain Jack Truesilver]

So does this new island also include a third story quest? That would be fantastic, especially given the name "Hidden Island". Furthermore, is it a main port or is it a wild island?

I'm too tired to go find the quote right now, but I'm pretty sure they did say that they were going to be adding a new story quest for it

 

[Smighter]

Not what I was expecting, but very excited nonetheless. It'll be good to have some fresh content, even if it's not immediately available.

I read it. They didn't specifically say "story quest", hence my question. Pfft, you don't even know what you're talking about. Maybe you are too tired.

I do believe he was talking about a quote elsewhere. There is no need to be discourteous toward someone trying to answer your question.

TLOPO: "Right now, we are primarily concentrating on creating TLOPO to be just like POTCO was when it closed. [We're adding a new] island containing its very own storyline, new enemies, etc. I am unable to provide more details on it at this time."

Aha, there it is, thank you

It wont be wild, take a look at the pictures that have been captured of it.

Pfft, you don't even know what you're talking about. Maybe you are too tired.

There's no need to be rude to others.

I wasn't trying to be discourteous. I was being satirical. My mistake, man.

Jack was just being sarcastic.

Ah, it appears I misunderstood your tone then. May I suggest writing in a different style that doesn't come off as rude/ill-mannered since it is next to impossible to determine tone through text alone?
