sure, but every game needs change and this one was needed. the devs still think kids mostly play this game.Not much different from the old Potco game then. well at least we had open chat there eventually even if it was filtered.

That's actually not the reason why we have filtered chat. It's both to avoid possible action being taken against the game by Disney, and also because not everybody wants to see adult content being discussed in game. If you want to have more mature discussions, they can be had through a wide array of external chat services.sure, but every game needs change and this one was needed. the devs still think kids mostly play this game.
Not everyone who would like a less filtered chat has a desire to use profanity or have discussions that shouldn't be allowed in a game chat. So many innocent words are filtered out that it makes communication difficult. It was a problem in the old POTCO too.
Sure, sorry if I dragged it further in that direction. I think that's a fair point. I just wanted to clarify that (though we ask for a lot of patience) TLOPO does accept whitelist suggestions.Thanks Davy! I didn't really want the topic focused on complaints regarding the in game chat filters. I was however speculating that the highly filtered chat may be partly responsible for the lack of chat activity in the game world. Since players are no longer discouraged from using 3rd party chat software I suspect that's where most of them have gone.
Yes These forums actually originally started as forums for our guild nearly a decade ago.BTW weren't you Co Guildmaster of the Spania guild in POTCO?
I was a member of the forums back then. My pirate Red Nations was a member. Can't remember my old login details, I've switched computers and moved a couple times since then.
There have been over 700 players online the past few days when I've been on. I'm pretty sure that's quite a bit higher than it had been. Then again, I suppose it could have something to do with the double loot/rep event that's going on. Even so, more people are playing the game again, and that's a good thing.There is a lot of reasons for chat inactivity, and I'm sure I wouldn't be able to list them all. One thing I will say is that the chat used to be a lot more active. A lot of my good friends left the game over the years, and even I barely log on at this point. There are several reasons, but the bottom line is the game got boring and there is so much annoying stuff that players have to deal with. Game crashes, White screens, black screens, stuck loading bars, district resets... most of these things never truly get fixed either, and are left to linger.
I don't think it is that individual players are less active, but I just think that so much of the population is gone compared to even a few years ago, back when there was more hype for the game. Things like "hey guys ctc releasing fall 2019 get ready" and then almost a year later, ctc still isn't here... it gets on players nerves and a lot of people lose tolerance for it.
With that being said, there are still a lot of active communities, especially in discords. It is frankly a pain to communicate through in-game chat at this point anyway. It is so heavily censored and it will continue to be so now that Disney remakes are getting closed down.
That is something that hasn't changed then since the very early days of POTCO Abassa Tortuga has always been like that. I always preffered using crew or guild chat to the general chat. Part of my problem is that I haven't been back long enough to make friends in game, and I'm not in a guild. I've been pretty much playing solo. In the old days there were a lot of griefers in game and Abassa Tortuga was their main hangout.I personally don't talk in general chat much (Especially Tortuga on a busy server ) due to there being so many trolls/rude players around.
Same here... A lot of my good friends left the game over the years, and even I barely log on at this point.
I'd be happy enough having to play 2 hours straight without crashes hahagame got boring and there is so much annoying stuff that players have to deal with.
/Agree There's nothing much to do especially when you are fully mastered... That's why i always keep my character lower level possible lol.almost a year later, ctc still isn't here... it gets on players nerves and a lot of people lose tolerance for it.
Yes, it contains message ,voice ,stream, more than a plain live chat. Most of the players i meet in game asked if i have discord in first place.there are still a lot of active communities, especially in discords
Soooo true. Harassment and stuffs as well. Perverts they are!!! Report buttons are not useful enough. They just kept making new accounts and coming back!!due to there being so many trolls/rude players around. I much prefer talking to my guild/friends
As you said, the situation for the "past few days" has been pretty surprising, taking the game in isolation. Then again, when you step back and look at the game and the world, it's not really that surprising.There have been over 700 players online the past few days when I've been on. I'm pretty sure that's quite a bit higher than it had been. Then again, I suppose it could have something to do with the double loot/rep event that's going on. Even so, more people are playing the game again, and that's a good thing.
There are still bugs that have to be fixed, but we are still in Beta, so these things are bound to still be broken to some degree. The devs work very hard to make everything work properly, but some bugs just aren't able to be fixed right away.
