I'm glad someone posted this, I came here looking to see if anyone had warned the people here. I did not lose my weapons b/c of collecting loot. This may be a cause for some, however... I had all my stuff and was sailing. I boarded a flag ship and as soon as I landed on the ship I saw I had no way to attack the enemies since I had no weapons! Oh, all I could do was run around, till they killed me. It was very sad. The other person in my crew did not lose her weapons... she lost hers upon entering Kingshead. It looks like everyone has lost them, and those that haven't, will if they log on.

I suggest to anyone who reads this and is curious about the mayhem on test right now, make a new pirate and go in with that. There is no GUARANTEE that all will be restored to our pirates that have lost everything... after all, it is test. Besides, everyone gets booted from the server every half hour anyway! Oh, and thank you Disney for rolling out an invasion while everyone just had rusty cutlasses... yea we won anyways.

I also found that during this glitch, you can launch from a privateer island, and then go around sinking all the little sloops that are in the ocean being sailed by fellow pirates. And this is a good way to repair your ship since you cant talk to the dockworkers!!!

Happy pirating!!!

Wow, this sounds worse than the time that all testers on Toontown were sent back to the Oldman tasks...

Wow. Still down. No maintenance mentioned. Just "Server is Closed." Sounds very final.

On a side note...I don't play any other MMOs. Is it normal for player/testers and the developers to have one-way feedback? I always thought that it would help to hear from the programmers once in a while. You know...to hear their thoughts on what needs to be tested and what needs to be really tested...

Well, its been at least a couple hours since I've tried last. It is still closed. Maybe sometime tomorrow it will be working again. I just hope they fix this before Monday.

I'm very pleased to see it closed, I had expected it to stay messed up till Monday. I was enjoying hanging out out on Port Royals dock watching people log on and totally freaking out cause everything they had was gone... Nothing like watching everyone yell 'OMG, WHERE DID MY WEAPONS GO!!!"

Site is still down its been almost 2 hours now. I wonder if they will restore us, or let us start with nothing... Can they restore us is more the question.

Personally I don't expect it to open again until sometime Monday. My theory is that they closed it to stop all of the bug reports coming in about the loss of inventory. The question is whether the programmers work on the weekend. If they don't, and I doubt they do, especially overnight, then there is no one to fix the issue at the current moment. This is all guess work of course and I don't really know anything but.... That's my take.
