I WANT ONE! :piratetongueor4:

ok one sentence How do you get one i will pay good money for that!

What is that? The Crew Kit?

We're unnoficial reporters in their gaming media! *runs off to contact Disney*

In all honesty though, that's just awesome.

hmm - gets out camera and microphone - ok i am now the media Now Give me one! LOL :laughks2:

Am I getting one of those? AWESOME! I wanted my crew kit!!!!

Ditto! I work my...pirate tail off editing for the tPr! Can't I get some credit here!? And I geuss Jack should get one too...

To clarify, only news reporters are getting that gift. It's Disney's way of trying to attract more news coverage for the game. It is NOT part of the "Crew Kit", which may simply be the cloth map.

But you never know, if they have some extras they may use them as prizes for contests.

ok i just found one on ebay and bought it :) :) :) ill take pics the second it comes in and post it

That'll buy a good review!

xD

Dont quote me but I did see somewhere that you can buy the ships and crew from Disney.

Before i had to cancel my subcription (for personal reasons), i talk to them on the phone, and i asked bout' my cloth map (which i have not gotten by the way became founder on December 2nd last day) and i also asked them about the crew kit, "Quote on Quote" the operator person said "the crew kits are still being put together and they have not been shipped out to anyone, but rest assure when the crew kit comes it will be a surprise".

Got me wandering.....what if we don't get a ship like the media but mayb something cool (if your a founder) like maybe the black pearl in a bottle, ya know? like a ship in a bottle....heheheheh.....makes ya wander huh?

1st off - crew kits have been shipped and people have been getting them for 3 weeks now

2nd - crew kits are only given to those who pre-ordered the game not founders

3rd - the crew kit is a map of the caribbean and a certifit of authenticity

This... is... BRIBERY!!!!:psmiley27:

i wonder what the disk is for

Actually, the map is not the crew kit. When they said what we'll get for pre-ordering, they said a map and and crew kit.

This is correct. On the e-mail some of us got before the game went live, it said a crew kit, and a map!

We'll probably only get the map, if Disney is acting normal lol.

~Cpt.Sea

Lol and you guys thought it was for the Report people. Hehe...

I sent a message to them and demanded a ship model because I only pre-ordered BECAUSE of the crew kit. Pre-order is a joke - I didn't even get my cloth map yet! Plus, those who got Unlimited at the start had to go through all the lag! My gosh!

Mes thinks 'bribery'. Tsk tsk.

We're being bribed and scammed.

Wrong, THEY are being bribed and WE are being scammed.

No were being robbed & ill informed

Isn't this kind of selfish? What about the staff, hmm? Don't they have to mail a bunch of Maps for all those that pre-ordered?

That looks really neat! Congrats to the reporters.

yes i cant imagine disney spending the $200 dollars to produce 3800 crew kits with fake plastic eye patches, and a lead paint covered peg leg, lol

Probably solid lead, not just paint...

LOL no thats too expensive LOL i can see it now

"Look mommy i got a soild pure 100% lead peg leg"
"umm honey where did u get that"
" the mail man gave it to me, all though he looked pale like he was about to die"
":skull::

Mom would love seeing DISNEY on the box it came in. :laughks2:

Oooh I'd love to have that model ship, how lovely! That is amazing. :shock:

That is making me want one as well! Since i got all three movies

The disc cotains all the video spots and trailers of the game.. all interviews with devs allowing media centers to use the content in magazines and TV shows.. where do u think G4 and gameing magazoines get all thier stuff from? every game that comes out the companies send out attention grabbing stuff to the media.. where I work at EA we send sports stuff out all the time, and before any of u ask lol no i can't get any.. sorry i have already tried..

Happy gaming

maybe the should stop sending these crappy items to critics and make their game better and add stuff i mean its a 2 week game to complete

when LOTR Online Is 1000 times bigger if not even bigger and 1a million more quests etc for the same price and they give u incentives iim dont with POTCO Online for awhile disney has let down the consumer relaesing this game before they added content worth a damn is a joke

if only the players could spell....

A game is a game.. its digital infomation.... you go to blockbuster and rent a game finish it in a week. Is it really finished... No its not, you just finished the main story. Same thing here, play it when the fun is gone trade it in for a new one... no need to be a sour puss. good luck on your new games!

Dead-

Willing to bribe all for a crew kit!

Well, that kit is great, but even we dont get pirate flags on our ships. So the ship is not accurate lol.

Just nitpicking....

olease thats the dumbest post ever grammar has nothing to do with the game and you dont go to blockbuster annd rent the same game for months over and over do you? no you dont

and obviously you dont know anything about MMORPGS

cause i can think of 5 other games right now that have the same price tag as pirates that i could play much more and it would take me 6 months or more to finish before you try to act smart refresh youre knowldge

I have to agree with you.. I used to play SWG and WOW and I canceled both to be able to give Disney a few hours a night during testing.. Now that the game is live I am still having fun though. and I do see Disney being able to add more content faster then Sony or WOW just because of money behind the projects. with disney anouncing no new online games so they can consentrate on Pirates tell me that good things could be in the future, but who knows.. I know that once I get my system built I am going to reup my sony account and go check things out over there.. but you know the day disneys gives us all a hut to drop and live in and start decorating, this game will have a good chance and climbing to the top.. but Agree at like hitting the end.. My guild is currnetlydoing PVP ship battles right now until more quests are realsed.. lol good lord I hope no one critics my spelling lol long day at work

Happy Gaming

That ship is pretty nice, but critics would like more enhancements in the gameplay better. I'm still having a blast with the game as I only play it for an hour or so here and there. Would've been cool to get a kit, but I signed up too late. Maybe they'll have some contests for an extra wooden ship...I'm sure they got some.

and I can't resist this:
Check your sig:

yup ive been playing LOTR Online thier is loads of things quest etc that i dont dee myself beating this game ever lol

as well as they have been adding new books with lots of quests every 2 months their is a total of 13 books i have yet to get to book 1 and im lvl 12 lol

so imagine how much play is left
