Ya those kind of things are very cruel, trying to lead people along, i have heard rumors of it being here by Christmas though with the way its going they would have a lot better luck with scrapping this game and creating a POTCO 2 with a different engine and better overall play ability.

For the record, there are several textures specifically for the kraken in the games phase files. There are even sounds for it (ie kraken roar). This gives us signs of them working on it. Unfortunately doesnt mean it will ever be publicly released (or when it will be).

Some people love to instigate rumors, just attention grabbers, which even enjoy the negative attention given once their rouse is discovered.

Rumors are such wonderful things. They are quite effective in keeping the masses wondering.

Rumor was that it would be released this spring.
Rumor was that it would be released this summer.
Rumor was that it would be released this fall.
Now the rumor is that it will be released by Christmas?
Do I get dibs on rumoring that it will now be released in Spring of 2010?

First, I agree with you, unfortunately Disney seems to be focused on two engines to support their games. Panda3D (Potco, and Toontown), and Flash (PixieHollow). Flash would never do the game justice. I dont see Disney venturing into any of the higher end engines that would require reinvestment, and redevelopment of the project. And being an MMO, I doubt there will be a POTCO 2, just new versions/releases of the current POTCO.

i agree Zep but they could at least go along with WoW and have different versions? like instead of wrath of the lich king, a new version that would play on the same servers could be "reign of barbossa" or something like that with a totally different story line. I wouldnt mind buying expansion packs and stuff like that if the game was any where near that good.

I understand what your saying (i think). But they would have to change the server software, etc as well. Cant host two different engines like that. Well maybe its possible, but they would have to be separate instances, you think it lags now... WOA! And the game play would be entirely separate, those running the panda3d version would not be able to interact with those in a different engine, as their server instances would have to be separate.

Well I'm not the technical guy those are just my ideas ;-)
