Why does potc-wiki.com get a link and not http://www.disneysonlineworlds.com/index.php/Potco

I assumed that sites like that were not allowed???

Also http://www.piratesonlineforums.com/ is a large forum for for the game.

pay or free or choice?

is it free, pay only or both liek runescape is?--Cody6 03:46, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Eventually it'll probably be pay. --Zeno McDohl ^(talk) 04:57, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pirates of the Carribean Online will feature a free, ad-supported mode of play as well as a traditional subscription model. Consumers will have two options when Pirates launches. The basic access plan will give players access to many of the game's features for as long as they like, and there will be no subscription fee for the basic mode. Instead, the basic access will be supported by some type of contextual advertising that's not in the game itself. http://potc-wiki.com/index.php?title=News --Jimmcq 06:32, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

At "Basic" level, it is free to play, but access to content is rather limited as mentioned in the article. One change that should be mentioned is that the level limit is 10 rather than 8, which I've personally verified as a player. Skills in Basic are also limited to 2 upgrades out of 5 (players get 1 skill point each time they level up a skill area through repeated use), and the higher ones are also for Unlimited players only. Quite a few quests are Unlimited only, or you can only progress a little bit in the multi-part ones before hitting the dreaded "lock" icon. And along with the small ad for upgrading that's always shown in the upper right of the screen, you also get a full-screen ad for upgrading every time you do anything that would be allowed only as Unlimited, such as killing a sand crab that would drop a crab shell needed for one of the easiest Unlimited-only quests. Annoying when this happens during a combat, and you have to go click on the close button to get it out of the way during a continuing multi-enemy battle. Basic players' avatars have gray-colored names above them, Unlimited ones are in blue, and "Founders" have a gold symbol added. 138.163.0.44 (talk) 17:08, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

When's the ACTUAL premire date of Pirates?

The website says Spring 2007, and some people said it's coming out with the movie, but now it's Spring 2007, and the movie came out a few days ago. When's it premiring? (Not the beta u can get on fileplanet or other places.) Abcw12 07:13, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

who really knows for all we know it could come out summer 2008 you just gonna have to be patient but its coming out in russia on june 1 but for usa itll probably come out maybe may 31 or on the same date well just have to wait and see63.164.225.201 21:21, 28 May 2007 (UTC)medayugiohman[reply]

Disney has already answered my question; Fall 2007. Oh, well. Abcw12 09:37, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Make that October 31...2007. 67.77.145.238 00:02, 2 November 2007 (UTC) (PS I'm Abcw12 not signed in)[reply]

Isn't this contradictory?

"basic members will get all content that advance members do"

"The members get more content of the game and can do more things than the non-members."

Last paragraph of the article.

Indeed. Since both statements are unreferenced, I'll remove them, which should deal with the contradiction fairly nicely. Cheers, Afluent Rider 04:09, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

re contradictory

the basic access player gets all the content advanced members do that is true but for only one week when the screen is smaller and you can no longer do things advanced members do. you are half right but only half also exp is reduced by 40% and non members can only buy the light sloop class ship and can no longer skirmish other players.

positive

they are saying that potco will come out on june 1 for uk and usa but are they positive or is it just another guess63.164.225.201 00:46, 1 June 2007 (UTC)medayugiohman[reply]

I can't find any reliable source supporting the June 1 release date. The official site says simply "Spring 2007". I'll fix the article to reflect this. Cheers, Afluent Rider 00:56, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism

Could somebody sort this out? I am almost certain that the developer of Pirates of the Caribbean Online was not "pee pee"The Last Melon 02:59, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Whoa! I said sort it out, not delete the page! The Last Melon 03:06, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- There was a massive vandalism spree on this article. It appears to have been sorted out by now, and the page has been semi-protected to put a stop to it for a while. Cheers, Afluent Rider 03:25, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yeah, I noticed. Sorry for not doing more. The Last Melon 04:02, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure the quote from johnny depp (re: world of warcraft and death knights) is non-existant12.44.117.104 (talk) 18:33, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Official Release

Im at school right now so i cant talk long, but yesterday i saw that ITS OFFICIAL. You can download the official launcher on the main website. The Beta is finnaly over, Ill add more details when im back at my house. TALK TO YOU LATER. Tythesly 12:29, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I played the second beta and now I played the game with a basic access account (non-paid). I noticed there are a lot of restrictions so could anyone update the article so it mentions both non-paid and paid versions of the game and comprares the two? 194.78.37.122 14:24, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

For starters, free users are limited to a low level boat, can't teleport between islands, can't use magic, and don't have access to all the quests. (indeed, upon completing a step toward a restricted-access quest, the player is presented with an advertisement blocking the viewport). Oh, and free users cannot play in fullscreen, instead using a heavily decorated window with ads along the outside of the viewport. --Johnruble 03:51, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jolly Roger merge?

I see that someone proposes merging the "Jolly Roger" article into this one. I support this proposed merger, because both articles are too short on detail already, and Jolly Roger's brief appearances in the game don't warrant having his own article. Vandelay (talk) 20:48, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That was me. Naturally, I support as well. Pagrashtak 21:07, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Even if this is a month old, I say no. This article clearly is an overview of the game whereas the Jolly Roger article covers information on the main antagonist of the game. Just my two pence. BlackPearl14 ^{Pirate Lord-ess} 02:35, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Game glitches

every once in a while the game will gitch while boarding onto another close by flagship causing the player to die when it sinks. also if you are on a war galleon and get on one of the top cannons if you get off you can wander around the side and off the ship thus gaining the name man overboard glitch. when the player walks around he/she goes up also when teh ship is moved the player is dragged with it returning to the surface of the ship(any ship weather its hte players another players a navy ghost or eitc ship) when the player walks over it in a fall Pirateofthewater (talk) 16:23, 25 March 2008 (UTC) Pirate lord of the leeward passage.[reply]

There are many more "glitches" throughout the game. Same are re-occurring and others are brief events but the number of times the game causes a player to crash, are high. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.115.79.63 (talk) 23:44, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey everyone, just keep in mind that Wikipedia Talk Pages are not forums to discuss glitches. There is an excellent and quite comprehensive website/forum on Pirates Online, available here [1]. Please use that to discuss glitches. Thanks. BlackPearl14 ^{Pirate Lord-ess} 04:11, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Major Work

As can be seen, this article needs major work. As a notice to all readers: I will be re-writing the entire thing, section-by-section, and I will be adding new things in. I have already begun work on the "locations" section, and it now has in-depth information. This will be true of all other sections, especially the lengthy "list" of enemies, etc. There will be more pictures in the article as well. BlackPearl14 ^[talkies!^•^contribs!] 22:20, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Funny thing about that, I was working on my own version as well. I guess we'll just see where it goes. Thanks! Garonyldas (talk) 03:53, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
