What to expect in 2008

Found a new article from Mike Goslin, one of PotCO's lead developers, where he talks about the game and he gives some general ideas about what they are planning for 2008. Here's a link to the article:

A few highlights:
---
"We also have a large marketing campaign that will ramp up in early 2008, and many additions and expansions already in the works."
---
"Three things we would like to improve in Pirates of the Caribbean Online:
1. We would like to make it easier to find a crew or to advertise that a player is looking for crewmates. Adventuring with a crew is more fun than traveling solo, but we need to make it easier.
2. We would really like to expand the number of activities for players to do with their guilds.
3. We'd like to provide more ways to personalize your avatar - customization features are already planned for upcoming content releases."
---
"We have a lot of new content planned for the year already, with the focus on expanding both avatar and ship customization, extending the quest story lines, and adding more enemies and challenges. We expect to attract a diverse group of players, so the major challenges for us will involve creating new content for a range of different playing styles. "

The one that I'm most interested in is customization. I'm bizarrely vain in the virtual world.

That's pure win right there. I think this is the one thing that's been hacked on ever since day 1, and now they're gonna work on it. ^^

I'm with Captain. The customization highlights sounds very exciting, especially the ship customization.

I am excited about what 2008 brings for POTCO.

I hope finally that love affair between William McMorgan and Elizabeth Swann happens! :xlipsrsealed: William Turner who? ;)

O_o...

Yeah I don't really care about that I just want a Pierre Bouvier-style tattoo and cooler hair. More Jack-style. Or more Troy Bolton style. I love the Troy Bolton hair in VMK.
