For the record, when Raven's Cove came out we knew that there were eight mysterious islands being developed in the phase files and with the release of Raven's Cove, that leaves seven more still in development, not to mention a slowly developing PVP_cove island.
The Kraken itself should have been done long ago, since in 2009 we got a picture of the beast without any textures.
Major updates for this game take years. It took 3 years to release Pirates of the Caribbean in 2007 and even then all we had was the black pearl quest. The Black Pearl quest had actor voices from the movies and great animation cutscenes which probably took any extremely long amount of time for the developers.
Let's say it takes three years to release a new story quest. That means this is year four without a new story quest(The Kraken). That's actually really good timing considering they've also released more mini-games, Raven's Cove, SvS, PVP upgrades, Scoundrel of the Seas, etc...
The big updates are coming but we must realize that the POTCO staff is fairly small, smaller than most MMOs. If it took three years to release POTCO with a full story quest, then just imagine how long it will take for a new Kraken story quest. We've already seen the potential for ship customization and if we're patient, we will get what we want.
