Really, no need to do a fresh install. And no, there is no intro sequence on the desk. Just have a back to back showing of Master and Commander and PotC 1, and you'll be good to go! :-)

You can get your foot back in a following quest.
You don't regrow it but there are good surgeons out there who can give you a fake foot to put yout boot on.

Exploration is basically MIA. We chose our battles, and it wasn't one of them. However, now that we're launching, we're going back and looking at adding a lot more exploration elements to the game. Also, check out the new French capital, coming soon!

Jeepthang FTW!!!

Yes, as noted earlier, we're going to wait and watch what happens in the game. If it's any consolation, this prompted a long discussion about how we actually take data from the game and derive information from it. Right now, we're good at spot checking, but I want to move into a continuous mode of information analysis.

Bacon is love.

Yes! We're considering doing this everywhere you have a list of players, like in the friends list and society list too.

Would this be for officers only or everyone in the guild to see?

Currently we're looking hard at ways to improve the social aspects of PotBS. Some of the things we've already got on the board are optional chat bubbles and floating player names. We also know that we have to improve chat, especially in groups and societies.

We have lots of other ideas... but we want to hear yours!

What could we do, change or add to the game to make being social easier and more fun for you?

Your support ticket indicates that the problem resolved itself, which is awesome. But we still don't know why, which is not awesome. Nawesome. I've passed your info along to SOE, hopefully it will help shed some light.
