I think the Kraken is a bust just because the way the game is laid out. I cant see how you would fit a monster attacking a ship in the game unless the monster itself acted like a ship with like tentacle instead of cannon shot. As it is you cant really attack over the rail like you use to be able to and I haven't seen any eitc or soldiers running around on a ship waiting to be boarded like I use to. If the Kraken does make an appearance someday then I will be pleasantly surprised but I do understand that some things just cant really be pulled off or is not worth the time which may be the case. Its a good game with or without it.

As far as a chapter two who knows .... at some point I am sure one will be introduced however, they are still doing updates from requests made a couple of years ago. I think the amount of updates done this year has been extreamly impressive... The game maps have been redesigned, mini-games added, graphics changed I honestly cant complain at all about the amount of work and quality that has been done since the games release. I for one will enjoy the fishing and future unavailing of the island knowing that more improvements must be around the corner as they have continually revamped the game from the start. I dont even remember guilds being around when I started it however I could be wrong and just never noticed them as I was so busy hacking away at all those monsters...lol.

I really dont think the movies have much of any kind of influence over the game any more. I have seen screen shots that look like a different version of the game on the internet that looks like it was based on other movies as the characters are identical to potc but the jacket colors are different. The ongoing developed story lines in potc just dont really match any more and frankly Jack Sparrow as a character does not really appear after you finish the Black Pearl chapter as far as I know. I also remember towards the end of it that in one quest for instance I had to defeat about a hundred ships (before they redid the islands) anyways it was more time consuming then challenging... The would have to come up with a way to keep it from being just another twenty fly traps or villager with issues. Once I got to Gunner I was skimming the story line like crazy to get on to the next list of kills. Guilds have become such a large part of the game I think I would rather see complex Guild challenging boss type battles rather than taking another tour of the caribb.
