Since POTCO is closing, try to remember your best times in the game. Whether it was meeting friends, maxing your guild, looting a legendary, or plundering 'till the sun set, you can state them here.

My best moment was maxing out my pirate at the same time as I got El Patron. What's yours?Feel free to comment and show your highlights.

My most memorable moment was not so grand. As a basic access all of my stats were maxed and was gaining no rep. A guild member who I liked and respected asked me to get off a cannon to allow someone else to gain the rep since I was maxed.

That really ticked me off and I had to make a choice between leaving the game and going unlimited. I chose unlimited which lead to months of fun on land and seas. That single "rough" event opened a door to a ton of fun and friendships.
 
I wasted my childhood on this game. But I still had some good memories. Was it worth my childhood, though? I spent 6 years working on my pirate, and now it's over. I have about 5 or 6 old bodies, they're all gonna be gone.
 
Most of my memories wer eof Role-Play. I met Role-Play before game play and am a career role player. Or rathe rwas. Howeve rthey were fun and thrilling years. It wa sjust recently I started actually playing the game like the way people here play POTCO. And it is becaus eof this I am partly saddened. I could go on so I guess I will begin writing my true POTCO Life Story soon. Everything even the stuff that many knew nothing about.
 
Some of my best memories were making lots of new friends. And of course, maxing my first pirate, Jason O'Connell. It's so sad to have to say goodbye... :cry:
 
My best memories would be of when I first joined my guilds. There was hardly a moment when I wasnt smiling or laughing at the goofiness of everyone. Even long after the game ends every moment will be cherished but these will be the ones I will always love most. :thanks:
 
My most bad was when I had to delete my other account which my main was named "Christophor Sunskull"

My best was me FINALLY getting unlimited access and getting Voodoo staff. I was so happy that I could play the game for 7 days straight!:fight:
 
Brushing off the cob-webs to the treasure chest :treasure: of my own POTCO "memories," I would have to say that the best moments I have experienced on the game included memories which involved getting to know certain...people.
:ymca:
You know, it is true what they say; that regardless of the activity or pursuits you strive towards, it remains the people that enter your life (in this case, a piratey game) that have the biggest impact upon your being, and your soul. For me, there are a handful of people on POTCO that I will never forget and whom have had the biggest impact upon my life these past 4-5 years.

Another POTCO memory that I will forever treasure is the experiences I had gained from being invited to join this forums and also, myself being allowed to contribute to the "Revive POTCO" petition.
:flag1:
There is a POTCO secret that I would like to share. The days that I begin to play POTCO with my first pirate (as a basic player), I can tell you...I did not know anyone nor understood really how the game was supposed to be played. Likely the first 6 months I had played POTCO, I would play maybe once a week and feelings of inadequacy and feelings of isolation were very much real for me, as a POTCO player. It was not until the experiences I had gained after joining a few guilds and then making Shamus (my 'second' pirate) to where I began to understand the dynamics involved of a healthy and thriving, POTCO community.

Thus, as a pirate whom was conceived in a barn :rolleyes: and therefore born from the dust of some (voodoo) potion gone bad, it is with great appreciation that I give "thanks" to LEO, the other RP petition organizers, and this forums in particular for allowing myself to contribute in a small way towards the drive and interest shown to have POTCO revived.

From the bottom of my heart (which more often than not discovers itself at the bottom of some rum barrel) I thank the POTCO community which includes ye pirates here :piratemickey:for such a fulfilling experience!

- The "bad" experiences :xbones: I have had on POTCO can be singled down to just a few, which can then be re-grouped into one main (1) category. Basically, such unhappy and disappointing experiences I have dealt with on POTCO involved the influx of POTCO hackers (whom decided to either disrupt both of the Revive POTCO 'events' or whom personally took time away from myself in playing POTCO as a result of various agendas to protect the game).

As a RP organizer, I found it extremely disheartening that while many of us sought to improve the atmosphere and playability of the game, there existed a vast network of pirates out there whom actually desired to "destroy" any sense of legitimate progress towards the direction of a better Caribbean.

*For those pirates whom supported or knew of such players whom did hack POTCO and did nothing, I find your lack of integrity and not standing up for what is right to be just as disheartening! :mad:
 
My best memories are twofold... I spent so much time when I was young reading books of pirates and sea adventures, spent a lot of my life in and around the ocean. Loved the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and Jack Sparrow in particular, he always summed up for me what a pirate should be. So then, firstly to discover a game where I could be a pirate? Incredible. Secondly, and even better, to find a whole world of people who also wanted to be pirates? Priceless.

I'd never played MMO's before, this was my first. I remember distinctly meeting Lawrence Treasuregrin and him helping me take my first steps in the game... then my group grew wider, pirates from all over the world....adventures in roleplaying as well as plundering and questing came along.... meeting Olde Grim Jack, joining a Guild, recruiting and exploring this Caribbean with him and all the other amazing people I met too. Storytellers and poets, assassins and soldiers, famous pirates and Guilds......Not only that, it was fascinating to think about how the world itself worked, the glitches and the graphics and the mechanics of making a ship sail.... events and holidays and the new costumes.... l

The best thing was to be able to immerse myself totally in an imaginary world that I loved and play with a host of like minded people.
