I think you're wrong by saying that Disney is to blame by making an inaccurate Caribbean, its the POTCO crew which did that. In movies they show Port Royal and Tortuga ( real places ), but they don't say that Port Royal is an island. It would be really nice if they completely redesign the Caribbean by putting real locations, and keeping the current locations just somewhere in the middle of them
I agree with you completely on that note, it would be fun to have careers, actually travel, trade, and do many different things.
Even the ships are to be completely changed, and the wayships move across the caribbe. For e.g, instead of ships moving in circles, make it that they travel from one place to another. And all general british war sloops should not be called 'Kingfisher'. I understand the British having light war sloops and calling it 'Kingfisher range of ships' but that wouldn't be realistic. The occurance of ships at sea should not be plenty and thus each name is rare. If i go and kill the Navy warsloop HMS Happyvale, the ship shouldnt immediately appear in the sea as if it spawns but instead over hours, another ship appears from Port Royal and sails to hunt for pirates
But gamewise i dont see if its possible considering that it's an MMO, and also u'll need tons of money and high end computers to have such things in the game.
But that would make the game only so awesome.
Going into vast tropical islands with volcanoes and all sorts of beasties and a huge variety of creatures

So Lostmymarbles, i suppose once Disney releases all it has promised, maybe we should all ask them in 2011 to release such content and we can expect it to release after probably a year on Dec 21 2012. Or just hopefully they've thought of it much before us and are working on it. When they said new islands i've always been thinking that adding a couple of more islands such Isla Cruces would make no sense. Like Armada of the Damned, this game should stop focussing on its relation with movies and be original in t act. Its kinda silly to find William Turner appearing on a random island called Bilgewater, after the first movie during which time he had no contact with Jack Sparrow and saying ' Oh your Jack's friend ', and if they cant put any great realistic Caribbean islands why the heck was a waste island like Rumrunner's put?
