Macbook users cant play POTCO

I still don't get why it's taking them this long? :/

You have to look at the actual issue at hand to understand why it's taking so long and put it into the perspective of a programmer. You're talking about a flaw in their coding that has locked out an ENTIRE operating system. It's not just a little bug, it is a pretty substantial issue that probably spans over a large system of source code. It can take some time to find and resolve such a large issue in the massive amount of coding that is Pirates of the Caribbean Online.

Also, while no one has brought it up yet either, I point out that the argument, "Well it's happened before, they should know how to fix it," is a moot point. While people are right that, yes, this seems to almost always happen when Disney does an update, they're still relatively new to handling MMORPGs in the programming of Macs and the issue is not always necessarily the same. It could take a whole day just to assess the entirety of the issue for the Disney staff.

Lastly, you should also take into account that the group working on POTCO is probably relatively small, maybe 30 people at most. Of that group of Disney Interactive working on POTCO, even a smaller group of those programmers are actual asked to work on debugging systems while the other group is with R&D planning new features.

Just give them some time. I realize it is a great inconvenience to some that you cannot play Pirates at the time, but the best thing you can do is just leave it be. Go read a book, watch TV, or something to get your mind off the issue and it will be fixed before you know it.
