Server Down?

i gotta dell inspiron notebook 600m, got it in feb 2006 with a ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 graphic card. From what i have read about it online it seems like it really should be enough to handle this game....It DID work up until the dreaded May18th update! Yet, maybe it's antiquated now in 2007 to work with the likes of potc? i seen somewhere the release date for this card was in 2002! blimey!!
Beta support says "Currently your graphics card is not functioning with Pirates Online.

We are working to resolve this issue and apologize for the inconvenience."

does that mean it might work ok again in the near future?

But i have a feeling it might be more......like i cheaped out and got the Intel Celeron processor when everyone knows Pentium is the way to go...but then again, i wasn't even into gaming when i bought this laptop! Who Knew? lol

Well, thats my feelings for the day. Hang in there and hopefully on the next tide they will get us marooned pirates back into port again ...To all pirates that were able to get onboard, Plunder On!

Alas - all is lost for me guess I never mentioned I'm on a laptop - the geek squad guy almost laughed at me (been in there 3 days in a row) and told me if I had mentioned that then nobody would have suggested I upgrade because I can't on a laptop - I sure don't know anything about computers! so who knows when I'll be abl to swing my sword again... it's really kinda sad - I sent them a long email quoting all the places on their website that said they were gearing it for slower/older type computers - and asking why they keep making the requirements more stringent (I do understand why they have to but I was playing devil's advocate) - the orginal requirements they sent in their first email to me were much, much lower - the ones on the game website have been updated to show recommended requirements now - it's just a shame that people like me, who want to play won't be able to unless they do something on their end. Oh well, thanks for trying to help JoG - do appreciate it!
