Woah here... I signed up when I first heard about it and I never got this email or the other one about BETA testing. Should I call Disney and report my problem?

This is going to be epic beyond belief. I didn't get a beta key yet, but I've been getting the newsletters. Hopefully I'll get a key

I didn't get my key either. I know I have gotten a couple newsletters, I think. Signed up with another e-mail to see if either of them get the key. Can't wait to start playing.

How do I create a Pirate?

After you log in, you can create your Pirate using the Make-A-Pirate interface.

How do I get around the game?

You can get around by walking, swimming, or by sailing on a ship.

What are the controls for moving my avatar and accessing my weapons?

You can control your pirate by using the following keys:

W: move forward
A: move left
S: move backward
D: move right -OR- Up Arrow: move forward
Left Arrow: move left
Down Arrow: move backward
Right Arrow: move right



Normally, the mouse will control your view of the game. In this mode, the pointer will not be visible. Attack enemies by left-clicking, and choose special attacks by right-clicking. Use the number keys to choose different weapons.

Press the Tab key to activate the pointer. When the pointer is visible you can click buttons on the screen.

Press the Control key to board a ship, steer a ship or man a cannon. Press the Escape key to exit ship steering or to leave a cannon.

How do I join a crew?

To invite a Pirate to join your crew, walk up, and click on them. You'll see an interface in the corner of your screen which includes the option to invite that Pirate to join your crew.

How do I meet other Pirates?

You can meet other Pirates by inviting them to join your crew, by playing card games with them, or by battling enemies alongside them. You can also interact with them using the Speed Chat.

How does chat work?

Chat can take the form of in-game "Speed Chat," which uses ready-made words and phrases. Pirates of the Caribbean Online also includes open chat, which can be enabled by an adult or a parent.

The chat buttons can be found in the top left corner of the screen.

How do I get a Beta key?

To gain access to the Pirates of the Caribbean Online beta, register here.

Why do I need a Beta key?

Because the software is in development, we are restricting access. The Beta key ensures that we can support the game's population and still gain valuable insight into the game's features.

What does Beta mean? It's the second letter in the Greek alphabet, and typically used in the software industry to indicate that the software is in its pre-release testing phase.

Can I post screenshots or information about the game?

No. Publishing any information to the Internet or to any other location or any other medium will result in your expulsion from the Beta program, and may result in other corporate disciplinary action.

Does it cost anything to play during Beta?

No.

I had a problem with installing the game. What do I do?

You can submit a bug report from the Web site by using this form.

I had a problem in-game. What do I do?

You can submit a bug report using the “Report a Bug” button found on the Pirates of the Caribbean Online start-up program.

I had a problem with another Pirate. What do I do?

You can submit a customer service inquiry by using this form.

I lost my Beta key. What do I do?

To recover a lost Beta key, contact customer service by using this form.
Here are the FAQ posted on the BETA site. You wanna make sure that you don't post any screenshots, unless you are willing to take the risk.

Yeah when do we get the key? It's this thursday, friday, saturday, and sunday that the beta is happening? Does that mean we will be getting our key wednesday or thursday? Or, are people already playing?

If you are chosen to be a part of the Beta team, you should have aleady recieved an email notification confirming you were selected, otherwise you will have to wait a bit and see if they keep on choosing Beta testers, otherwise, you're out of luck. However, I strongly believe that they will still be giving Beta spots to people.

I already recieved mine, however, my Beta key has been delaying to arrive, and that's why I sent a question using the feedback form about it and I was notified that they are sending Beta keys to people as they make space for more users to log into the game, so here's when your patience is put to practice.

Hope it helped in any way,
Karo

yeah i recieved the email saying beta has begun, what days, etc. In it, it says that i need to click on link below to get my registration key. When doing that, i had to take the disney member thing i have (used for vmk and other disney sites), and log in, waiting for my registration beta key or w/e. So, now i'm confused and waiting for a key.
