Unhappy Test Site Woes

Ok Whats up with Disney they shut Test Down And do not even Tell us The Site Is Down For Maint or new content The Test game dont even load to the log in box and potco news where it used to say it was down at least. now every time its Down nothing no warning no red bar to tell us its closed just poof it dont open period.

Test Server Site Wont Even Load To Say its down either there is not even a place to check for status.

Now why wont they tell us anything or say BLANK coming to Test Soon and searches online for answers are nowhere.

So How Do You Feel About It?

Perhaps they've stopped supporting Test for now, but when they release something they'll open it back up. I don't know, thats very strange that they're doing this. Could have something to do with the rumor that they'll stop supporting the launcher soon, but I don't know. Anyway, I'll see if I can shoot them a quick email soon to see whats up. Its very strange of them to just shut it down and not even give us a loading screen notification.

o.0 They expect me to play through my browser? Oh that won't go over well...

Anyways, in regards to test, I don't have access (despite 3 years of nagging them for it) but I've come to rely on the test update posts here on the forums in order to keep up with what's going on in-game. I'm feeling quite neglected by Disney at the moment. =(

Ahoy Isaiah,

Thanks so much for contacting Pirates Online regarding your Test Server Account.

At this time our Pirates guests are not able to login to their Test Server Accounts. We are aware of the situation, and are working diligently to resolve this issue. We don't know exactly when they will be back up and running, as we want to ensure that all the bugs are fixed before doing so.

Thank you for your patience and we look forward to seeing you in the Caribbean again soon!

Stay savvy,

James

At least (I hope) we know this is a bug, not a Disney-doing-this-on-purpose kind of thing.

Why would POTCO (not D) do this on purpose?

I tried getting on today and it said 'Jolly Roger has cursed our site!' I read a post on here somewhere.... Somewhere... But I am hoping that it is for a new update and not just to fix a bug.

Well, on the bright side, at least the site is sort of working again...

EDIT: I go bored at work. Here is the same site page converted to 3D. Use your nifty POTCO Red/Blue glasses. Might hold us over until test comes back.....Maybe not though.

I doubt something new is in the works, unless it is really, really big. When they close test for updates, its usually for just a few hours, and no more than a day. Test has been closed for what? A week? The only update it could possibly be is.... THE KRAKEN! Not really. But if it is closed for this long for an update, it'd better be something massive. I honestly think that it is either a bug, or what I said in my last post about them not supporting it except during testing times.

There are many possibilities since the "update" idea is out of the way.

- The Mouse took a vacation.
- POTCO ~ the 2nd Disney game that ended as VMK
- All the servers shut down.
- A giant burrito monster attacked the POTCO job-builing-thing.
- They ran out of rum.
- Major maitenence INCLUDES : new clothing ( just nw clothing colors ), new weapons ( just weak common weapons that are worthless), disuises ( just a navy hat ), ect.

- To many people were on at once, and the servers messed up.
- Geroge ( off of GTNATQFTLB ) found the legendary burrito.
- They ran out of rum.
- Some monster rum leaked.
- They ran out of rum.
- The wrokers took a vacation.
- They ran out of rum.
- someone touched the green meat.
- Did menton they ran out of rum?
( I wonder who drank it all? )

I would hope that there are too many paying members to ditch the site altogether.

Out of the blue, recently I am starting to get email from Disney regarding the next Pirates movie.

Perhaps there is an update in the works to include some detail for the next movie, perhaps some cross promotion stuff?

Maybe Florida will be included somehow?
