Pirates Online Main Site Video- Your Thoughts?

[Commodore Larence]

Okay, so I have not logged into my POTCO accounts in a few weeks, and went to log in today just out of the fear of my accounts possibly being considered "dead" and getting deleted. I noticed the video that now plays when you first go to piratesonline.com .... And I had a few thoughts about it, and its' content.

1.) Coming in Spring 2007: Really? They were to cheap to edit the video, and get that off there, its Summer 2009 lol.

2.) Davey Jones: You can clearly see a Davey Jones character in the game play they have video of. I am sure this is the version of the game the developers were playing, probably on a private network with one another... But you can clearly see Davey Jones in the game play, and this was made pre Spring 2007. What is with this huge delay on Chapter 2?

3.) The Kraken: You can clearly see The Kraken attacking a ship. The same goes with what I said about Davey Jones here.

4.) Ships Attacking Islands: You can view ships firing upon islands, atleast that is what it looks like to me. We cant fire on islands, or attack them. What could this possibly mean?

5.) Jolly Roger: You can see Jolly Roger, and he looks to be in the game play, not just a "cut-scene". I would even venture to say it portrays him on a private island of his own, as if it is some sort of Boss Battle.


Now after noticing all these things, I cant help but wonder why on Earth the gears are moving so slow to add these new things to the game. All of these things are coded up, and have been put into some game play; by now they should have been went through with a fine tooth comb and debugged. Could the rumours really be true I hear from friends in the game? Has Disney just given up? Will there ever be a Chapter 2 Story Quest? I can't for the life of me see why they have all of these things set up, but have not released them yet. If there ever is a Chapter 2 Story Quest, it should be filled with alot of this stuff I would think.

Is all of this just waitng for us 'til the UK POTCO is released? I was seeing some stuff on here about that, has it been released? Is the UK POTCO what is delaying us?

These are all things that kind of caught my attention tonight, and I am curious what others conclusions are.
