So on the front page of Fileplanet, they have up (subscriber only - which means that the open beta can't be far behind) the link to sign up for the Pirates of the Caribbean beta. I already snagged a key and went to make an account, but it looks like it is getting hammered. I don't know much about this game, but I also don't see anything on the page mentioning anything about an NDA. Normally there isn't one once it gets to the Fileplanet stage, but I wanna know to be careful nonetheless. Does anyone have any info or has heard anything on this one? EDIT: For link - http://www.fileplanet.com/promotions/pirates/landing.aspxEDIT 2: I just realized now that I spelled Caribbean wrong. Twice. I am retarded. |

Damnit, I thought this was "Of the Burning Sea"... Don't trick me like that again, my public school reading comprehension skills are a bit shoddy.

Heh. I got all giddy and read "Pirates of the..." and completely ignored "Caribbean" as well.

I've been in this one for some time but haven't actually played it much. I'm tired of pirate MMOs. I think I want to be a ninja.

Aw, shit, me too. Damn you, Nonentity. |
Why am I homeless? Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question.

When I got the invite three months ago, I went all the way through downloading (while AFK) before I realized it.
Short answer: Dungeon Runners with Jack Sparrow.
NDA and all, but I will say it has some clever parts and does a good job (imho) of merging the IP with the specific playstyle needs of the target audience. Basically, don't expect something for us here, but which can be very relevant to the younger crowd in ways different from Webkinz et al.

LOOK, I'M SORRY YOU ALL READ PARTIAL SUBJECT LINES.
In all seriousness, though, I somehow don't see Fileplanet doing a PotBS beta.
But who knows, really, they had that bad Endless Ages sequel knockoff on the front page, which was literally a giant steaming pile of shit, so the sky is the limit.

I think we need to set up a rule for this situation where we type "Carribean, Pirates of the" or "Burning Sea, Pirates of the", since I and some others cannot read good.

I'm not sure what the NDA status on this is, so I won't say anything.

I only clicked on this thread because the title still makes no sense.

Maybe he should stuff "Disney" into the title somewhere. He can use another set of parentheses. Would that help?

You.. you are all giving me headache.
SUBJECT LINE:
TOPIC ABOUT MMO THAT IS NOT BURNING SEA, PIRATES BUT IS INSTEAD ABOUT CARRIBEAN, PIRATES OF THE - ON FILEPLANET BETA THING WHEE LOOK AT ME
Christ, someone throw me a bone here.
On a side note that actually discusses the thread, I still haven't been able to make an account. The link from the fileplanet page still gives me an Apache error.

Hello, sorry to intrude! I was googling for Pirates of the Burning Sea and I happened upon this thread, but it seems to be largely unrelated to my inquiries.  Oh, well! Pirates are as pirates do, I suppose. One should be happy with what he can attain. Thank you kindly despite the confusion! |

I'm guessing it has to do with your toilet avatar and a book of matches?

Sweet weeping jeebus!
I just got my first look at the screenshots of Caribbean, Pirates of the, and it looks awful. I'm not a graphics whore by any stretch, but I sincerely hope that those shots just aren't doing the game justice, or something.

Everyone seems to be bowlegged. It's kind of creepy. I thought that was cowboys, not pirates.  |

That horrific image says "Copyright Disney". Right now, as we speak, at least 240 lawyers are assembling to shut down f13 and track you down like a dog!

That horrific image looks much better than the actual game. You know, if I had any idea what that looked like.  |

Review purposes. Fair use. "It's kind of creepy," is a capable review of the whole Pirates of the Carribean franchise... in fact I wouldn't be surprised if that's what Disney's been aiming for ever since the ride. |
if at last you do succeed, never try again

I still have no idea what this thread is about, but in other Pirates news that doesn't really qualify for its own thread...
The other day, I noticed Sid Meier's Pirates remake has turned up on Steam.
I didn't get around to actually buying the remake in stores, does anyone who did play it want to tell me if its not crap?
Thanks.

it was pretty neat, cutesy adventure. it's got a bunch to do, all of which is alright but nothing exceptional, and that's my only criticism. the battles, land/water/sword are nice, though they get repetitive quickly, and the swordplay is too easy. i played it through and didn't really have much desire to play it again. i definitely got more than a few hours of play out of it though.
i liked port royale 2 more (it was much more economy-focused), but that's because i'm weird and like to dominate coffee bean trade. meier's was friendlier and more rounded out.
