Check out the latest Video Insider as we show you a bit of what goes on behind-the-scenes at the VR Studio. (that is, when we're not raiding the vending machines...or ramping up our caffeine intake) Watch how the artists, designers, programmers, and technical staff each contribute to the final game product, including character modeling, environment design, weaponry systems, and more. You'll also catch an exclusive look at some early gameplay footage, as well as the cutting-edge technology used by the developers.

"Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" is in stores now! Check out some of the DVD's exclusive deleted scenes and behind-the-scenes footage - right here, right now. To buy the DVD, click here!

From scurvy deckhands to cutthroat pirate captains, get to know some of the game's development team. Click here to have a look at their bios and check back soon to meet other members of this motley crew.

Pirates of the Caribbean Online is no half-baked attempt led by newbie game developers. For over 2 years, the team has painstakingly built this highly unique MMO. (move over elves and wizards) As the launch date approaches, we'll give you some additional insight into this process directly from those making the game. Captain Back Stench (aka Mike Goslin, head of the VR Studio) kicks off the first entry into the Developer Diary. Read up on any dirt he has to dish and check back for more as the weeks wear on.

Ahoy ye mangy seadogs! From the sound of your emails, we may have a mutiny on the horizon. To answer most of your questions: No, we won't tell you the release date...at least not yet. Yer' worthy of a piece of the prize though, so we've responded to a few of your emails -- a true pirate would never surrender all his booty!

Beta has not opened up yet, to my knowledge. I keep checking the official website and don't see anything about beta.

Also, check this link. BetaWatcher.com. It's up on all the Beta releases.

I still haven't gotten my e-mail, I think I didn't sign up right. Bleh, I'll still be there in beta though, I hope.

Got another e-mail from Disney the other day:

Subj: Game Insider #4 - Pirates Life for Me

Pirates of the Caribbean is an epic adventure set against the backdrop of history. It is a world where the real coexists with the unreal and where the conflict between what is primal and what is civilized is raging out of control. Read More

Pirates of the Caribbean Online may not have launched yet, but you can still enjoy a piece of the adventure today. Download the Desktop Galleon and complete a series of fast-paced, ship-to-ship cannon battles, collect gold, and unlock hidden treasure. If luck's on your side, the more you play, the more handsomely you'll be rewarded in-game.

Watch the latest Video Insider to see how the VR Studio brings the game characters to life. First, see how the artists and animators build characters like Elizabeth Swann and incorporate their unique physical features and traits. You'll also see a preview of the "Create-a-Pirate" system, used to build your own in-game pirate avatar.

We've updated the Crew Bio page to include a few more tricksters and pirate rogues. Take a look at their interviews and check back next month for more!

Check out the latest updates to our Developer Diaries, each focusing on a different aspect of the game's development process:

In-game Characters
Learn about the robust character generation system created by the Animation Team at the VR Studio, and how they've maximized customization with a variety of physical features and clothing options. Everything down to your pirate's five o'clock shadow, wrinkled brow, or narrow-set eyes can be determined in the character generation process, allowing for millions of truly unique avatars.

Pirates Mythology
Read up on how the history and mythology of the Pirates franchise are integrated into the game, whether the storyline, different game environments, or film characters.

Click here to view the full Developer Diary series, including the latest two releases.

As your e-mails keep pouring in, we'll continue responding to them in the Community Q&A section of the site. Send in questions or comments on anything from the types of weapons available to ship features to storylines. This is your chance to talk directly to the makers of Pirates of the Caribbean Online! Read a sampling of what your peers are asking about.

================================

I downloaded the Desktop Galleon. It's a cool little teaser for PCO.

Anyone hear anything about Beta yet?

SC do you have the link to the "Developer Diaries?"

Anyhow, I still have not gotten an email back. I think I may have not registered right, either. Augh. :(
