Oh No is POTCO Down?
 

i got dc form the game and cant get back in, and the potco homepage says internet explorer can not be found

No, POTCO is still up. It let me on the game instead of giving me the swirly red circle, so it must just be their site. ^^

ok.. i was walking/running down port roayl beaches when my guy froze then the screen went black the i got the internet dc message so i try to log back in but where it says retriving version info it stops and the page closes plus the potco website does not work

I think I'd restart your computer, and if that doesn't work go for the uninstall/reboot/reinstall strategy. Never came across something like that before.

POTC not working?
 

i randomly disconnect and then it wont validate the game version any suggestions?

POTCO down?
 

is pPOTCO down or is it me? idk my internet went haywire

The same thing is happening to me.
(update!!!!!)

yep its down no worries=]

yep i was playing and couldn't kill anything then the server kicked me so it's down, doubt it's a update though

ok good im not crazy! :laughks2:

POTCO won't start
 

Boring lame tech problem..

When I open POTCO, I get the box that says "Retrieving version Info". It goes nowhere, until after about 10 seconds, when it disappears. If it matters at all, it doesn't pop up as a tab on my desktop bar.


(and this just started happening in the past hour, and yes I restarted my computer)

Any help is appreciated.

crashed it seems

Maybe it crashed for a REASON.
(my fingers are still crossed!)

This is happening to me right now. I tried everything I could so I think it's just Disney's server or something. I'm trying to get on the site to reinstall it but its dead.

Yes, they are closed for maintenance.
Here is another message I got that really tells me it most likely may not be an update, but the chance is still 50/50.
Above the Game News thing it says "We are sorry! Pirates of The Caribbean Online is currently unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working quickly to resolve the problem. Please try again soon. Thank you for your patience!"
And guess what? I didn't even try to log in yet. So there's either something BIG that is wrong, or it may be the update. But if it was an update it would say that POTCO is going to be down for maintenance on the Home Page or the Game News on the log-in window. Also, that message is on the Home Page at the top too. Big problem, lol. It is no update, updates they aren't that hyped about....

Yep, got kicked off in the middle of guild plundering. I can't even access the login.

awesome! i think i just beat the game!! thats why its down! wooty woot.

same here.

Same problem here.

Actually it'd say down for update, maintanence is when they routinely make patches to prevent this. Just sayin'. ^^

So, anyone up for some random chit-chat? XD

There is a forum i started already called Chit-Chat

Same thing is happening to me, as well as a number of other people.

Dont Do it
 

It's down... he's pulling your chain.

Tried rebooting
 

It didn't work. Whenever I try starting the game from the desktop icon, it searches for version info and never comes up after that screen disappears. How do you uninstall and reinstall if you can't get to the piratesonline website?

yep
 

down for me too, thought I was going crazy. also am I the only one who can't even access the pirates website? all other disney/abc sites come up but anything on the pirates section won't load...



for reference I'm on a mac and when I launch pirates I just get the load screen stating "fetching version information" then a "cannot connect to server" message.

Darn, talk about bad timing. Son is sleeping and wife is working late tonight. I was hoping to get a nice session in tonight. :sadmh9:

For me Still its down

same here game disconn.

Same with me i dont know how oother people are getting on

hmm Strange other poeple are getting on but soem people arent?

I can't get in.
says retrieving version info
and then disappears
tried going to www.piratesonline.com
but I get a blank screen.
great just great

Already been posted. Please see Hello, emotes!

Same!! and i pay for it :degen:

Wendot just merged a whole bunch into this thread here. I think you should use this thread for when POTCO is down. It stops many threads being made about it being down. Instead, you can use this one thread, and it'll still give you the heads up, if you think it's down :).

Arg, it says down for repairs, but I'd rather have the updates than repairs in some ways lol.

~Cpt.Sea

Thank godness there was like 6 topics on this @_@

Im down same you all getting :(

Aye, on VMKF we have a thread on this, it gets so big that VMKF has had to make a total of 3 threads and close the other 2. They get to like 300+ pages, and then it gets buggy lol.

~Cpt.Sea

Down for me too!
 

This stinks. Game goes down a lot!!!!:sadmh9:

Hmm do you think that they are coming out with the new update?

~smalld

No, because they said they were down for repairs, not updates.

STILL CLOSED ARRRRRR

~Cpt.Sea

They might disneys suprises us alot like with POTCO

Can mean the same thing. anyways hope they come out with it by next week bc i want to play pirates with the new changes on my vacation. Hehe

~smalld :piratewheelgo2:

The new chages, aren't really anything to be "exicited" about. Yes, you get new clothing to choose from, hair styles, tattoos, and jewelery, but you can only have up to 4 in each section of clothing, unlike VMK :(.

Still down for me....

~Cpt.Sea

pirates of the carribeans online is back up just got online!

Woot Finally!

No updates, just like I thought lol.

~Cpt.Sea

:skull:well its back up nothing new lol i wish they would just give us something anything i think they wernt planned on having people make it so far and so fast so thats why they stopped the last battle i just hope if the story does keep going that we get diff ships weapons new island ect.... lets make it bigger than wow but i dont think disney could handle that so the most likely will just sell the game i just hope something new comes oon im paying good money here lol :skull:

POTCO is down arrrr!
