Pirate The World - Online Adventure Game

I love the idea, I hope we do it! How would that work, maybe be given the first flag and that would be displayed with out ship. Then maybe give the option to buy another flag with gold just like we do when we buy another ship?

That sounds cool capt but i dont understand how it could work in this game being's how we are dots.

Being such a small pirate, my say shouldnt really hold too much, but anyway
I like Mrs.Air's idea of lowering reset time as well as upgrade costs.. but one month is a little too small..
Also, as far as i can see, however long or short the time difference between each reset, new players who join are still going to lag behind a lot because the older pirates have large areas mapped out and are at a much much higher advantage at any given point, reset or not.

They have obviously put in a lot of time and effort making their own personal maps of the seas, but i do believe that as long as the game continues with the same map for all of eternity, the older players are just going to remain forever strong. In the time that the vets are farming, the newbies and even the not-so-newbies will be busy making their maps.

I think that a reset of the game map once per period of time (6 months or one year) would be good, if the main concern is that the same players remain strong.
I can imagine that a lot of strong players are going to hate me for this suggestion!

Oh and i like happy's idea.. changing usernames would lend a whole new dimension of excitement to the game!
And then again, the reset doesnt seem all that necessary, seeing that with the advantage of a huge map, the same players are just going to get strong all over again! Besides, they have worked too hard!

Love the idea seacap!

The last time the game was reset the map was scrambled, so even the old players had to start all over on their maps.While I hated to lose all my maps, it is a good idea because everyone starts at square one.

sounds kinky

i dont really care enough about all this, whatever you guys decide i'm fine with... however what i would like to see are some 'specials'

off the top of my head i'm thinking...

(would only last for a certain amount of time of course)
invulnerability
invisibility
100 attack
100 defence
whole map is visible

i'm sure you guys could come up with more... as well as put piratey themes to them


also whatever happened to fleets... i remember talking about that years ago anyways

Wouldn't that take the fun outta it 3J?

I doubt it would take the fun out of it

no it would add fun and unexpectability (dont think thats a word tho) to the game... if newb1 finds a 50 attack prize pearl for say 1 hour or 50 moves or 24 hours even he could cause some unexpected losses to the tops which i think would add fun not take away =P

they would be rare of course, smaller prizes too like 1-3 attack or defense increase for a certain amount of time. Make some that instantly take effect and make some that you can save and use when you want to.

perhaps even make negative prize pearls

'Assayer checked your pearl... Uh oh you've found a rotting pearl that contains malaria' - Lose 2 attack for 24 hours.

lol oh ok I understand now. I like those ideas lol it would make the game more interesting. lol

I remmeber the stat-changing ideas...kinda tough to put them into play

Those that get the prize pearls that play the most are normally the ones that play the best and are higher up in the game...

i just thought of this...

Partial Reset

all attack/defence/obs upgrades are reset while radar and ship upgrades remain


AND/OR

the reset stats will be 'sold' for silver doubloons... so say i have 1 cannon 1 hull 1 nav 1 obs upgrade, i will receive however many SDs the total amount of gold for those upgrades is.

perhaps put in a max amount of sds someone can get for their upgrades at reset time, like 100 or something (1,000,000gp worth)


this makes it so that all that hard work doesn't go to waste, while at the same time giving newbies a good chance to become a big-timer. as of now everyone is only cashing out for SDs anyways and no longer upgrading because of the upcomming reset.


i reaaaaallllly like this idea

however my good friend goldpirate just pointed out that then no one would be tempted to spend $$ because they would be loaded with SD...


i don't know maybe you guys can come up with something, i'm trying to figure out a compromise because it seems about 50/50 with people who want a reset and people who do not want a reset.
