Ship Timer/Kraken Myth - Busted

[Vandelay]

I'm fairly sure that the Kraken was NEVER on the Test server during Beta.

Maybe the rumor got started because there's a Virtual Magic Kingdom "Pirates" game where a Kraken shows up if you sit idle for too long? At least I seem to remember that.

I spoke with a CSR in live chat about this yesterday and he said that while he hasnt tested it himself on live that the Kracken should appear after your timer expired, and he told me to put in a bug report about it.

It was there; I got sunk once. But that happens in VMK, too.

I am going to log on now and launch my ship and just sit there for an hour afk playing Madden on my Wii. Then I will just fight the beast myself! Hopefully they reinstated the kraken and I'm not just wasting 89 gold on ship repairs.

As a new player, I had no idea what the timer was for. Where is that explained ? Is it mentioned anywhere in-game ?
