It seems that Disney has its hands in everything as of late, and the world of MMOs is no different. In case you have not heard, which I am sure you have, Pirates of the Caribbean Online is the newest venture Disney is planning on shoving down our throats. I never thought I would say this in a million years, but thanks to the bombardment of “pirates this and pirates that”, I am sick to death of Johnny Depp. That is sacrilegious on my part considering I have been a fan of his for years, but with this newest batch of over saturation from Disney, I just want to hurl all over my keyboard. Now that I have said all of this, I will get to the game.
The beta has been going on since last month, so if you want to try and get in on it – go over to the official website and sign up – otherwise you will have to wait with baited breath until the fall to play like the rest of the world. In Pirates of the Caribbean Online, you, alongside thousands of other players, will be able to fully experience the adventure of the films and explore beyond those boundaries to discover new myths and untold stories. Forge alliances, hunt for buried treasure, battle evil undead forces, and use cunning and strategy to outwit your foes – all to become the most legendary pirate on the high seas. Yar!

Ummm… last time I checked I was a female. I have not checked yet today but I will get back with you.
I never said he wasn’t hot.. I mean, what other man can pull off being sexier than ever and still be wearing eyeliner? NO ONE. I am just sick of seeing Pirates of the Caribbean merchandise.
I just wish we got some decent Pirates of the Caribbean merchandise in Australia. We were Shreked out over here!
Pirates is becomming the new Star Wars of this generation and there is always a new Star War game being released despite Episode 3 failing to generate the revenue that Pirates 3 did worldwide.
