Pirate The World - Online Adventure Game

So people have been complaining that there are too many storms.

Other people have been complaining that farming (i.e. jumping only from island to island) is ruining the game.

It seems that the problem lies in the islands.

In trying to come up with a way for Pirate The World to be absolutely fair for everyone, I feel like the only way would be to remove all of the storms from the islands and all of the found moves from the game.

Everyone would get 1200 moves each day, and it would be up to you to decide how to spend your 1200 moves.

I don't hate the idea but I do like the game the way it is. With all the factors in mind I still think the game is fair for everyone.

Well, since I seem to lose an astounding amount of moves to storms (which may or may not be just in my head but it seems they are out to get me personally, by the way have you seen my meds?) I wouldn't mind ditching the storms alltogether but I still like to find moves.

Maybe just have found moves and storms in the lagoons since there are fewer?

I don't know. Don't listen to me. I'm an idiot.

It's fair the way it is. I see nothing wrong with the randomness of storms.
They should just be glad they're not losing 25 moves to a hurricane!!! lol

I say keep the storms too. I can't remember a day where I've lost more moves than I've found.

seacaptainn there is only one person moaning about farming (mapping).
I like the system how it is at the minute, we can't take the randomness away from this game otherwise it will be too easy of a game to play and people like me will get bored playing, the fun is the randomness, please don't remove it.

You don't see the emails and PM's we get, so it actually is more than one person complaining.

I love the game just the way it is. I like being down to my last few moves hunting for a reset, finding moves and praying for sunshine. I think if the game gets too simplified it'll no longer be fun.

oh ok, honestly its like handed them the game on a plate tbh, i don't really mind the new idea but it will be too easy for some, what will take over the storms and moves in islands? if there is just gold in them then there lays another problem before it gets sorted.

Heres a suggestion, do what exodus does and show people some of the map that way the moaners will stop.

Observation can be used more then

Well i think the game is great as it is, and agree with yertle, it will simplify the game more. Why 1200 moves? How will this prevent farming?

theres got to be a better way to stop farming [mapping/making the game fair] than remove the storms and found moves

we've come up with several suggestions already but taking out the storms and found moves wouldn't be fun

Maybe it might not be such a good idea to ask the players about game changes. It seems to just increase the bickering. I have very strong feelings on this idea but I have voted and that is going to be enough for me.

I trust the admin to make changes to make the game more playable. I think that players will make decisions in thier own self interest. You guys (the admin) have played before and very successfuly,,, at least against me, : ). I didn't want to quit because I was still able to play and improve by adapting my play. You guys should set up a fun game that people want to play (I think it is fun now) and tweak it how ever you want. You don't need my permission or anyone elses.

Just do it with out polls. JMO

this is a tough one...

I like the way Yertle put it...changing the game to make it seem more simple would take a lot out of it....

I remember how I felt when I would have under 10 moves left, and hoping that the next island I would hit would give me the fame reset I desired, only to receive a storm...

Things like that helped me change my gameplay..you live and learn

amen.

and i'd miss storms if they went away... don't take our storms....

ok.. if we stop farming, we have to stop fishing, which means we'd have to stop hunting.. which means we'd have to stop playing... see where this is going? everyone plays their own way... and will continue to do so... the game is fair as it is.. everyone has the same oppurtunities.. equal oppurtunity = fair... correct?
