Oooo, I'm surprised it came out this early! Whats going on with Disney?!?

[Chimera Doll]

I'm surprised too!
And I'm not sure but they are working on it, on the website this is posted at the top:
Avast! Pirates of the Caribbean Online will remain open while we perform maintenance tonight. You may experience interruptions in gameplay during this time. Thank you for your patience!

[Miss Graywolf]

well to me all of this has to wait until I get all of my Weapons Back ! hope that they made a good choice by bringing the update early !!

[Chimera Doll]

Aye, all we have to do is wait it out. I'm sure it will be fixed soon, for they have been really good with updates and fixes as of late.

[Jolly Roger]

Wow........wow...........wow.That was only 2 or 3 weeks. It took like 4 weeks for potions to come out. Great job Disney!

[The Skirata Clan]

A question to the testers:

Was this Tested thoroughly?

Now a question to all Live players:

Did they tested enough?

[Solaris]

They might aswell just close down the game for maintenance. I have no weapons or clothes. My ships and totems are gone so all you can do is walk around the island you are on and do nothing...

[Chimera Doll]

To answer your questions TSC: No and no! They released it way too early.
Solaris: I agree and have thought that. They should just shut it down for now.

[Speedway Master]

At least I'm still wearing my now-somewhat-non-existent clothing.

I really hope they fix this soon. In the meantime, you can update your gold count for the session by completing a game of Ship Repair.

[Captain Sureshot]

Wow, that was quick - guess the dev team is nearly finished with rewriting almost the entire game and now can more focus on developing new content.

Many pirates have had luck with logging in multiple times, until the items appear. Things should be ok later today.

lol I was trying to do that on Ravens after I teleported to a friend as I had no other option and I kept getting one hit KO'd by the ghosts lol (was that on test-I didn't see it there but wasn't able to get on much)

I will wait till it gets fixed to log back in

Even with your weapons and stuff back, you'll still get 1HKOed by them.

I tried this and when I was done I was give 34466 gold(the amount of gold I own)!!

[Captain Sureshot]

I was on and item-less then got the boot. When I logged back on everything was restored PLUS the ship I bought and item I looted were in inventory, too. So no worries.
