Thank you for contacting Pirates of the Caribbean Online.

Invitations to the Pirates Online Test Server are being chosen at random
based on how long an account has had an active paid subscription, as
well as if it is in good standing with our Moderation department. We are
not currently sending out any additional invites to participate on the
Test server via a waiting list, however we appreciate your interest in
our Test Server and may consider your account in an upcoming batch!

We hope to see you in the Caribbean again soon!

Thank you,

Javier

last sentence got me excited, LOL

Other than the start (part with name). I received the same response word for word, right down to who sent it, "Javier".

Always a ray of hope I reckon. Hangin in there, looking forward to new stuff comin along.
