Renaming your pirate ?? this will kill a mute list ..... Also I was thinking, if my pirate has 4 jolly rogers, (which i'm proud of ) and I rename it ?? does he keep the jolly rogers ?? jolly rogers were to show a certian pirate's age ?? I wonder if 3 rings has thought of this ?? |

Could we have a Trophy for everyone that had a pirate before the merger, saying which Ocean they were born on? I would want to proudly display my "Born on Malachite" trophy on my pirate page :) That way when people say rude things to me on scary viridian and I ignore them it's because they know I grew up somewhere with manners... ;)[/quote] Rolling in laughter ....

It is for the sake of keeping the thread cleaner and more, err, readable. And I guess plenty of other very good reasons. You can simply edit your post to add more questions, the developers quite likely will read all of the posts and see your concerns anyway. ---------------------------------------- ~ Sizzly of Emerald ~ Avatar by Aerecura <3 |

Due to the introduction of regular LE ships, furniture/housing, and the vast increase in sinking environments, I don't think this is the case any more. I think the current balance of the labour hours per ocean is just about right. ---------------------------------------- My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear.

Perhaps, for people with the same name on different oceans, on the same account, there could be a choice on the first time we log onto the new ocean, for which pirate we want to keep the basic name, and which one gets the suffix? And I totally support more hearty spaces, I been have to remove people for years now. I would not like having to not be able to add in the 'new' people I am going to meet with the merger. Though 50 more spots is not that much. Grannygrate, mainly played on Sage, but I sometimes get around. |

There is little demand for the big ticket items (ie. bigger ships) as they are relatively useless (this may change after the merge). But plenty of people buy smaller boats, clothing, rum, shot, etc.... So yes labour is needed and is often used rather quickly. ---------------------------------------- RedShadow - Cerulean Spot Collector! Always Willing to Buy/Trade - My List of Boats (Google Doc.)

No, the suffix adding letters is much like the merging of accounts giving you the possibility of having 6 pirates on a single account. It's a side-effect of the merger, not a change of the rules for the future.
No.
If it wasn't for the newly opened islands I would disagree, but having 4 weeks of safety with an undeveloped island is a bit too much.
They've stated their rules for who gets the suffix and who keeps their normal name. They're not going to look into each individual pirate who thinks they're more "well developed".
Something to keep in mind, while there will be a larger number of familiars, if you think about the future, there will actually be fewer fams being poured onto the oceans (before, it was 6 fams at a time, now it will be 3). ---------------------------------------- Stevensam -Cobalt Native, founder and host of The PoE is Right.

Is it possible to have the oceans placed straight on top of one another? From a story point of view, perhaps this other ocean was "underneath" the current ocean and that's why they've never been seen before. It's not an entirely foreign idea in pirate mythology. That way, you could have lots of different islands from one ocean connected by routes to various corresponding islands on the ocean below. Compared to just sticking two oceans side by side and joining them up, there'd be no preference for the islands that are on the connecting routes; everywhere on both oceans is suddenly more central and a bit more compact. ---------------------------------------- Peglegpaul Now on Obsidian! ---------------------------------------- [Edit 2 times, last edit by bronzebeard at Dec 10, 2011 5:21:00 PM] |

Hoy! I am excited as everyone else about the oceans merging! I see it as less division of players by removing the servers. But I've noticed the game losing its popularity over the years ( probably due to lack of new players and current players quitting). I don't see how this merge will stop the new combined oceans from being low in numbers in the next few years to come. I don't see how merging is tackling the main problem of the game, just seems to be prolong the inevitable. I am just wondering if OOO are planning on making more dramatic changes to the game to keep it up-to-date with its competitors. There are a lot more funner games than PP available to players now than before ( such as LoL! :D), I hope OOO plan to compete with this games and offer players more fun and action than other MMORPG. Also, will OM's be running any events to help integration between the two oceans or just leave them to it? ---------------------------------------- Imrans of Hunter Viktorius flag royalty chats, "well, thats pretty deep for 1st time" Jackpot says, "i swear sometimes i think they should advertise this as a dork dating site" |

I think they way the oceans are set-up as it is, this might be difficult and would require a greater stretching of inter-arch routes. Also, there could be issues of having rare commod spawns too close to each other. Hermes did mention that they're going to test the new map first, so clearly there's some leeway with how it's going to work precisely.
We all know that merging doesn't change anything about the core-gameplay. This is just a way to buy more time for the game, give folks some more time with their favorite game before it eventually dwindles even more. This thread really isn't for core gameplay changes, it's for discussion of the merger and questions that arise as a result. ---------------------------------------- Stevensam -Cobalt Native, founder and host of The PoE is Right.

For subscription labor I'm going to guess that while the change will hurt some shopkeepers who are trading labor, the ocean as a whole will have increased labor provided. I doubt that there's enough labor trading being removed to take away the whole benefit of a 50% increase in hours for every single account. ---------------------------------------- Culliford on the Cerulean Ocean Prince of Universe A |

Well, Culli... if you have 6 pirates on your account, you'll in future divide 48 hours between them, on one ocean. I suppose, shopkeepers who traded labor before, will have to rethink that strategy. Especially those who pay 1/1/1. I know, that I won't trade anymore (not that that has much worked for me. they always went dormant and dropped off), but rather gather all my alts into my own shoppes and stalls. I'm pretty sure, others will do the same. All in all, I believe OOO is doing a good thing. The forum posters asked for it, got it and now they're whining. But that's not surprising, rather typical. It'll be a brandnew ocean (times 3). Personally, I love I can keep my "stuff", but I would have preferred to have stats etc. start anew. That includes memming. I know, especially on Midnight there are the "old" discontinued routes and old pirates would probably scoff at that. But, it's a NEW ocean. If memming wasn't an issue, the devs might have more freedom with the way the arches connect. Maybe the maps didn't have to be knitted together at 2 crosspoints. Maybe they could take the different arches and put them together in a different cohesive new-one-ocean way.... Alas, it seems to be too late for that... Let's all look forward to ONE ocean, not to them and us, whoever them or us would be. And let's rebuild a cohesive society.

Yeah, I wasn't super clear there, my point is basically that most subscribers are only using labor on one ocean and wouldn't be changing that habit, so this is a 50% increase in labor hours for all of them, which is likely greater than the loss for those who do consistently trade labor. ---------------------------------------- Culliford on the Cerulean Ocean Prince of Universe A |

In order for a pirate to be "active', do you have to log on to it, or just the account? That is, to make sure all my pirates have the best chance of keeping their name, do I have to log onto every pirate on every account on every ocean? ---------------------------------------- Algol can not assert the truth of all statements in this post and still be consistent. |

Sez you. :-P Twice on Malachite (with alts) and once on Sage, I worked the navy to get my stats up for starting crews. On Mala, it was so I wouldn't have to play musical crews with my existing pirate. Once was to start a forage crew, once was to start an alt float crew. On Sage, it was to start a forage crew, without going through the hassles of joining a pillage crew and working to get stats up there, as I never intended to do anything but forage on Sage (except maybe memorize it). On Mala, the float crew and the forage crew were deliberately kept separate, with the forage crew going nowhere near the islands that my flag there was cading. ---------------------------------------- Adrianalidah and variants everywhere Gwynhwyfahr in a few places Current avatar courtesy of a game glitch, Halloween 2008 ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by skiffygrrl at Dec 10, 2011 9:14:49 PM] |
