Ahoy folks!
Today, I just wanted to post a thread that I've talked about with a few previous POTCO players. POTCO, like many games of it's time, had a certain atmosphere that created a unique sensation. However, in TLOPO that seems to not exist to the same quantities. (This is not me complaining about the game, this is a genuine ask for help to identify what I'm missing.).
In Disney's Pirates Online, the atmosphere in the game was generally darker overall. Much of the game was a lot drearier than it presently is in TLOPO, and I wonder if there's only a few that have caught onto that. Obviously recreations can only be exact replicas to a point without it being the same development team, but the difference in atmosphere has very much thrown me off.
Exhibit A:

Kingshead TLOPO, 2018
Obviously some may have to do with the difference in in-game time, being that the game does periodically shift between day and night, but there is an entirely different atmosphere in certain areas.
