I'm going to steer away from the actual topic for a moment to clear something up, and I'll get back on, just so you know.

Viewing the phase files is not hacking. A hack would be something like changing your pirates level to 100 and giving him the lost sword of el patron without actually receiving it. There's a difference between changing things to make your game play better, and just viewing the phase files.

Second, you CAN'T get in trouble for it, because for them to know you did it would mean they have control over your computer, and know what you do. This is usually illegal, and unless you tell them you do it, there's no way of knowing.

Back on topic, let's look on the bright side of this distraction. The Raven's Cove text is about stopping Jolly Roger, because he's cut off the rum supply. Maybe this is the first step to start rolling out ravens cove information? Such as, the next news may say something like, "No matter how much we try, we can't stop Jolly Roger and his invasions. Even worse, he's now cut off the rum supply for Jack Sparrow, and eventually he'll have to come out of hiding."
