The game is not looking too good... If you think about how they have been selling it for the last 2 years, and last year is when I signed up for Beta (only was able to get on last week of the 4 or so testing started)...
It's running 24hrs (sort of), like Toon Town, and they update a lot, but some of the basic stuff dosen't seem to be getting fixed- like tasks you need to advance in the game.
That might be to slow us down, and fixing it would mess with all the accounts, but what they have (on the servers we use) could be finished in 2 weeks of game play.
More than 1/2 the shops are empty, I've been to islands that have buildings, but not a single person. And some of the game crashes are so intense, it makes me think I'm going to fry my mother board any second (try logging off as your ship is going down)...
Let's just hope the real game is on another server... even with that, to make game play last a full year, I get the feeling they will drag out tasks, and make it seem more like a job, than a game- Just like Toon Town (I quit after they fixed all the glitches)...
Or, POTC could end up a "Chat Game" like VMK, with out the ultra cool "drag & drop" grhphics...
POTC is a little more fun than Toon Town (Toon Town may offer more game type attacks). You get a gun, a sward, and a connon... Oh and a vodo doll to make the sward, and gun work better... Sorry, I just don't see paying, like $80.00 a year, for a game you don't even get to keep, when you could out right own 3, or 4 really cool games that work all the time .
