We're unnoficial reporters in their gaming media! *runs off to contact Disney*

In all honesty though, that's just awesome.

To clarify, only news reporters are getting that gift. It's Disney's way of trying to attract more news coverage for the game. It is NOT part of the "Crew Kit", which may simply be the cloth map.

But you never know, if they have some extras they may use them as prizes for contests.

Before i had to cancel my subcription (for personal reasons), i talk to them on the phone, and i asked bout' my cloth map (which i have not gotten by the way became founder on December 2nd last day) and i also asked them about the crew kit, "Quote on Quote" the operator person said "the crew kits are still being put together and they have not been shipped out to anyone, but rest assure when the crew kit comes it will be a surprise".

Got me wandering.....what if we don't get a ship like the media but mayb something cool (if your a founder) like maybe the black pearl in a bottle, ya know? like a ship in a bottle....heheheheh.....makes ya wander huh?

1st off - crew kits have been shipped and people have been getting them for 3 weeks now

2nd - crew kits are only given to those who pre-ordered the game not founders

3rd - the crew kit is a map of the caribbean and a certifit of authenticity
