If you click on M (or the picture of the scrolled up map looking thing) it shows like 5th Sea etc. You can click on that part and those are the different servers. Since last night they went down to 2. Also on that page you can TP to different islands. Some have nothing on them yet but a few do. Also the thing that looks like a wheel with spokes (K) make sure you click on weapon stuff so it's activated.

As for which one I play on....depends. Usually the one with the most but things like last night with all the lag I did end up moving to the small one.

Geez. You people are obviously far ahead. I managed to get on after the stress test on friday. But wandering around in my jail cell, and on the outside of this little beenie island which is being blasted by some unknown pirate ships, has gotten me no where. SO umm, what am I to do on this little island? Anyone?

Ok nevermind. I created a new character and things were working this time. The video's played and I got to get off the little island and off to port royal. Very Happy

I saw somebody named Swabby, busy fighting skeletons, but the didn't respond when I called them. Ah well. Very Happy

Pretty much everyone who typed in a name is called Swabby until it gets approved. And nope...been playing for a while and nobody is ahead. Either glithces that you couldn't finish things or as of last night all your pirates wiped out. So know a little more? Sure. Ahead of anyone? Nope. I've had to make two already today and I didn't play much at all! Arrrgh!

My name wasn't approved, no big surprise there, but I am not a swabby I am a Lefty

Silly Funnymush · Posted: Sat Apr 14, 2007 9:16 pm Post subject: View Single Post

Oh I just chose a random name from the name generator. No wonder I saw a whole lot of swabby's around. lol

I have a silly question, do you have to sign up somewhere or are you automatically selected since you play TT?

Nanner · Posted: Sat Apr 14, 2007 11:54 pm Post subject: View Single Post

You have to sign up. PTT posted the link somewhere on page one of this thread I think?

I'm a Pirate now too!
But... I'm away from home for a week and haven't done much.
Will try to link up with some of you when I get back to USA.

(PS I was in Frankfurt Wed-Fri, in Haifa now)

Firstly, I should say, welcome to beta testing software.

Secondly, you're not doing anything wrong. You're doing quite fine actually. Just need to send in your bug reports when you crash or if you encounter bugs in the game.

Thirdly, get acquainted with your desktop, when testing this game. Very Happy

Banana Brain :

Got my key today!!!! As usual, I'm sort of confused. How do I chat with others? I'm such a noob LOL

See the upper left hand corner of your game window....there are two lil' skeleton head icons...one is for speed chat and the other is to activate the text window so you may type.

Nanner :

Your name should be approved about 2008. Very Happy

My first pirate never did get approved so now I just pick goofy generated names. PTT how long did yours take? Of course now it's poof anyway..... Sad

Took three weeks for my name to be approved...then they do an update and my pirates are goooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnneeeeeeeeeeee....oh joy! lol

Whatever funnymush said plus.....this game is soooo full of bugs right now. The "tutorial" sounds as though it may have been "buggy" for you or perhaps it just wasn't clear enough...this is where testers come in....send in reports...recommendations, problems your having, ideas, etc. This is what we are there for....I can already tell you that this latest release is sooooooo much better than the first and so much more clear.

miss nutmeg.

I tried and tried to get on to the ship. but it never happend. It turns out my daughter made her own pirtate and told me hers worked fine.. Even made it out to the island.. Not me. So I deleted the toon and started over this time I made it out and onboard before it crashed.. Bugs...Thats the life a tester..
Thanks for the advise and I will keep at it. Thank you everyone for the helping hand..

The person I play with the most has been going strong since the reset on Fri 13th but I've had to make 4 (or was it 5)? new ones since then due to them not working anymore (can't get quests, go through doors, ship issues etc) We tried to figure out what I did that she didn't (or the other way around) but we can't come up with anything. Who knows??? Yesterday was so bad the 2 times I tried to play I gave up. Even doing something as simple as fighting skeletons I would get the boot. Yup the life of a beta tester. BTW I'm now naming all my new pirates Lil O'Bite so if you see me make sure to wave....ok, pirates can't wave but you can call me a scurvy dog or something Very Happy

(BTW wish they would just leave my in box alone with all the canned "sorry you are having problems" letter everytime I send in a report. Some days I send in like 10-15. Read it and fix it....don't need the replies at this point)

I agree the latest is much clearer, easier to understand and has the looks of being a great game......but better? Depends on which side of the boot you're on Razz

As for a "spring" release? Ahhh good luck with that one Disney! My best advise to them at this point is DON'T DO IT! Unless they have a whole lot of fixes up their sleeve it just isn't going to happen! Hoping I log on today and there has been a few bug fixes.

How could I resist with a name like this? Razz

OK, nothing like going against principle Rolling Eyes

I am downloading it at this moment, ready JUST TO CHECK IT OUT. I'm still not planning to give Disney any more money while all the other stuff is going on, and I feel kinda cheap even clicking on the key, but with all these negative reports I just can't help going there to gloat! Razz

Its good to know that I am not the only one getting the boot. heehee.. Now I dont feel too bad.. It drove me crazy there for awhile when nothing would work. Then my daughter reminded me that the samething happened in test before the lawbots came out. But I dont remember it being this bad..
