That means that someone could have easily just put that there to fool people.

Although, I do believe that POTCO will be free, but limited. Here's my proof:

1. When I log on and i get the "Pick a Pirate" screen, at the top left it says "Unlimited Version", that means that there must be another version. So my idea is that with the Unlimited Version, you can go anywhere you want. But if there is a limited version, then you'll only be allowed to go to certain places and earn certain skills.

2. Why would such a 3D multi player online game be advertised so much. it costs a lot to make a 3D game, not to mention all the workers that worked on it, they need to get paid as well.

Disney's Paul Yanover DID say that, I heard it with my own ears during a recording of his speech at the Consumer Electronics Show back in January.

BUT, I agree with everyone else that what he really MEANT was that you can play the limited, ad-supported version for free for as long as you want. That seems pretty clear from everything that's happened since that speech. During the first beta, some people actually tested the limited ad-supported version, so we know that it exists.

Of course, in the same speech he also said that the game would open in the 2nd quarter of 2007, and we all know how that worked out.

Well that would be good but i heard you will have limited access like runescape. Plus you cant always trust what wikipedia says. And on a side note does anyone else here remember when toontown was completely free. Because a long time ago when i first played toontown it was completely free.

but i have to say something: if you have to pay for clothes, well, duh: i am a pirate. do you see Captain jack sparrow changing clothes every other day? NO!
and i don't think they should charge us for going to different islands, were pirates! we dont pay admission to destroy a ship or travel around the seven seas! do ye agree with me matey?

Ah, that'd be awesome if it were like some games and you just had to pay for like different outfits. Not pay to get to go to an array of different islands and such. Guess we'll pretty much just have to wait and see :jacksparrowvswillzu

Ar, maybe I'll rob a bank or somthin' LOL AR, with a sword and all. Back to plunderin'. They sould have giveaways, like if ye complete a certain task ye get free, service. ME like that ,AR!
