Very sad news indeed. Although for the most part I can't say I'm all that surprised. There hasn't been a decent update for over a year now. I know Disney has a lot of responsibility, so I respect their decision to close a game for the better.... if what they said over the phone is true about another company taking over.

I still have no plans to log back in to the game. I will, however, try to get back with the community on here (as I know I have said a million times). Since it's been stated that POF will stay open, I will do my best to communicate here.

Nevertheless, this game was one of my best childhood memories. Through the rough waves and calm seas, it was always fun. POTCO has several memories that will be left in me 'ol treasure chest.

Doubtful. Not banking on them whatsoever. They're simply saying that so you can feel better about the situation. The down right cynical view would be that they're saying whatever they have to say to get us off their back and get lost. They're happy to move on with Infinity whose sales are doing fairly well.

Unfortunately, the game never stood a chance. The game was released in 2007, around the same time Disney bought Club Penguin and started diverting resources to that game. It was more of a sponsor for the movie than anything. I enjoyed the first three years but with no new content it's hard to stick to a game.

It's nice to see old mods and admins returning to say their farewells. It's a shame the game wasn't looked after better.
