It looks like Pirate101 Polaris is just gonna reuse the Wizard101 mapā¦
Iām not mad at the people who work on Pirate101, Iām more just sad that this game which has a lot of potential is unable to get back up off the ground. I truly think that if this game was more well known and could be found by other people, itād be popular and loved! Thereās so many things about this game to love, the story is engaging, the combat system is unique and applies itself well to co-op and solo players, and the maps and worlds felt varied compared to Wizard101ās first arc (so many hallwaysā¦)
The last new world was Krokotopia, a world that was confined to one island that was reused from Wizard101 and apparently didnāt work well with the Pirate101 combat system. I think what Polaris needs is a proper skyway, one with wind lanes, islands to explore, ships to engage in combat with, and beasts to battle.
The teasers on Pirate101ās discord account are using the same maps as Wizard101, which doesnāt spark much hope in me
Polaris in Wizard101 is surrounded by water while Polarisās depiction in Pirate101 is a sky island. If weāre already confirmed to be in W101s Polaris, then that doesnāt leave much room for naval gameplay
Iāve got a few theories on why Pirate101 canāt achieve the same popularity as Wizard101, but Iām tired
