When you started potco=
It was the very first game for me and my sister back in year 2008.
It all started with my sister, who watched the film with her classmates in cinema one day during school vacation. Then she was totally obsessed with the movie, and talked about it all the time when we shared conversations.
One day, when she decided to go online and found more of the informations about this movie, she clicked on a link which brought her to this game introduction. She was so excited and started the registration and installation right away.
Because english is not our first language, but i spoke a little better than her, so she asked me to tag along with the whole process.
We created a male pirate named 'Pirate', it might sound silly, but for us, and our broken english levels back then, this name was totally cool.
Not only with broken english, and also outdated broken computer, the gameplay did not go well at all. This was the very first multi player game we ever played, and with anticipation, we were ready to communicate with players, but because of outdated onboard only graphic drivers, most of the alphabets shown on screen were blurred out and splitted. We could not really talk to anyone nor see the mission hints clearly.
All we knew was following the ray of light if you want your mission to be done. So we tried to do it step by step, but because of our shallow knowledges about this game, we either got sunk by ferrets (yes ,ferrets) on our way to Devil Anvil or killed by crabs (yes, low leveled crabs) on that island.
Jail was a really familiar place for us because we always started from there whenever we logged in this game.
What your favorite activy was=
One day as usual, we were about to start our mission venture again from Port Royal Jail, we met a pirate named 'Henry' who invited us to join his crew. This was the very first time we ever received crew invitation, and we were so excited to see what happened next, so we accepted it immediately. He then typed a lot of lines in chatbox, but we couldn't see these words at all because of our broken graphic.
We apologized but he patiently explained again. Still couldn't see much of these alphabets, but we managed to see the words 'follow me'
So we quickly said 'ok' and followed him into his adventure. He brought us into Fort Charles, and of course me and my sister went there before and yes again ended up in jail. But this time it's different, before we got up there, it was already noisy and packed with players. They were invading this place!
Me and my sister was so amazed because we had never really seen these many players before. (Now I realize that we didn't choose our server back then, so we always ended in quiet servers, for that time, we must have been allocated in Abassa server!)
We quickly joined the fight but because of low leveling skills, and as expected we were killed in one shot, lol! We were about to go to jail as usual, but Henry healed us, and used his doll to get us into full health. Wow, we were never ever healed by anyone before, and were really thankful to him.
But we were knocked out too many times, so he typed something in the chatbox, even though we couldn't see the lines clearly, but we knew what he meant by guessing and combining some of the clearly seen words. He basically asked us to attack only when he said so, and not to touch these enemies first, so that we could survive and gain the loot.
We followed his instructions and only attacked when he asked us to, the plan worked out well! For the very first time, we gained so much of golds. Soon me and my sister fell in love with looting!
What your guild was?
Before we left the game and prepared for school tomorrow, Henry friended us and asked us to join his guild, which didn't have a specific name (just Guild with numbers), with 47 members. Then we logged off reluctantly.
Me and my sister were so happy to be accepted as a part of the Caribbean raiders and we decided to buy a graphic card for better communications in the future.
What your favotire memory was=
With a better upgraded graphical computer, we played the game even more and looted a lot more than we usually did.
With Henry's great steering, me and my sister were then finally able to enjoy the fascination of sailing, well... without being sunk by ferrets after we sailed off Port Royal for two feet like we used to be, lol!
We defeated lots of flag ships with guild members along, and it was so much fun. Then we would invade Kingshead and looted as much as possible.
It was always good to have these trustworthy and good skilled pirate friends around me and my sister, since we were only to be able playing this game limitedly.
We were always welcomed by their warm greetings, and they were always ready and very willing to give our character 'Pirate' a helpful hand whenever he quested, no matter how small or troublesome the quest was, such as sinking ferrets or killing little crabs.
Soon the old broken computer was transferred to our cousins, since our parents thought that me and my sister were all grown up and should stop playing games as often, and should think more about our further educations and future.
As reluctant as we were, our parents was right.
After some years, my sister was graduated from school, and moved to another town for her studies and careers. Me as well, didn't play the game as much and was more concentrated on studies and examinations.
Not long ago, I found out the game was officially closed, and informed my sister about this bad news through phone. She was definitely as sad as me, because this game meant so much to both of us and it was a really amazing memory.
Your earliest screenshots=
Screenshots were not taken back then, but memories that lived inside me and my sister's head were so much more livelier and clearer.
Henry, if you ever read this post, i hope you're doing well now. Sorry for just leaving the game like that without saying farewell. Thank you for bringing me and my sister into the world of Caribbean, and granted us our pirate's fascination. It was an honour to be one of your friends and guild members.
Hopefully some day in the future, we will meet each other again in the game, and share good ole memories with my sister and Rose, Katie, Jack, Amanda, Bob, Danny.
My character will still be named 'Pirate', and this time... let's not have our first meet outside of Port Royal Jail... lol!
Take Care!
