Yikes.. I better start leveling up like crazy then ☠

I pictured this in my mind 1 year ago, for what i thought would be the Muertos Moon. I pictured that a ghost ship of Jolly would be hanging outside PR firing Fury continuously at pirates or that some undead would be going about killing pirates.... Looks like Disney fulfilled my dream.. sort of... but yet im happy

Its like a whole nother game!

Hmm, so, to look for bugs and other glitches?

As buggy and glitchy as the main game is,,, I'd hate to see how the testing phase would be.

Nah, just joking. I'd love to be a tester, it's just that this is such a glitchy game.

Otherwise, its still POTCO ;) couldnt mistake it for anything else!



Only if you have received an invitation from POTCO to do so. When they decide they need an influx of testers, they look to the list, and select members in good standing. There is a sign up form on the official site to basically get put on the waiting list.

Not to be annoying, but could you give me the link to it? I'd kinda like to sign up. :D
Thanks,

Noticed no one had posted this, thought I'd share a little insight onto the duration of these invasions.

Until the relics are returned to Port Royal, Jolly Roger will have free reign to invade the island whenever he sees fit.

Invasions are not a "holiday" feature Chele, they will play a major role in world events going forward. Who else might invade? And what other islands will they try to take over? We're getting ahead of ourselves - Pirates, stop Jolly Roger from invading Port Royal!

when they said who else might invade that raises my hopes that Davy jones is gonna invade the islands next :)

In the last week or so, Disney has sent out invites to the test server to people who were on the waiting list. I don't know how many people were invited, but I do know that there are at least a few new faces on the test servers.

If you are on the waiting list, hang in there. Disney takes their time in inviting people. Also, remember that your account has to be in good standing. Not that it has to be unlimited, basics get invited, too.

It is my understanding that a player needs to have Unlimited Access and be in good standing. This Host GM reply on the Grog Blog also includes the link to sign up:

As long as you're an Unlimited Access member in good standing (with no account violations), you are eligible for a Test Server invitation. We've got another batch of invitations going out soon, please be patient. To sign up click here. Thanks for your comment.

I too would like to see Davy Jones but as someone mentioned earlier he can only come ashore once every 10 years.
Still the mutant fishmen could carry him ashore in a barrel of water like they did in the movie on the sand bar ROFL

You have to be an Unlimited Access to do the test server?

They do not charge you for another account if you have test access, Chris. You're basicly "working for them", your test access is free. I guess they feel a paying pirate on open will be around for a while and therefor make it a req for test.

combatlizzy 10-08-2009 12:49 AM

Jolly isn't so stoppable anymore...He has burned down the mansion for two days that I have been on test. Another enemy invading? Us pirates would be overwhelmed at this time. The invaders have the strength of Bosses now & the lag makes it difficult. It's alot of fun, but it isn't easy...Jail has become "Home Sweet Home" for many a pirate including myself. But, you just pull your bootstraps up & charge right back into the fray. It's great!!! Hmmm...maybe I should buy stock in the tonic business.....

Raikel 10-08-2009 11:58 AM

To be truthful, this chase after Jolly was really fun for the first 3 times. All of which, I found some way to glitch off of the game and not be able to log back on until Jolly was gone. It was purely the lag that caused this, and if it's that bad when the server is Quiet, I am not going to love the lag when there are all of those people in Abassa. It is fun, but this is just telling us we may not even be able to touch Jolly when he reaches Abassa.
