Plot
The game is expected to allow each player to create his or her own customized pirate character (up to four pirate characters), battle other pirates, and complete pirate-themed quests both on ship and on land. Disney's Mike Goslin said the game will feature interactions with the main characters from the "Pirates" feature films, both heroes and villains. Disney is in negotiations for the key actors to lend their voice talents to the game. Common MMORPG features such as player guilds and a virtual economy have also been announced. Also, you will be able to take over other pirates ships.
History
The game is being developed by the VR Studio, a group of technologists and artists that are part of the Walt Disney Internet Group. It will be the second MMORPG developed by the VR Studio, the first being Toontown Online, which was launched in 2003.
The game was first announced by The Walt Disney Company on April 26, 2005. It was originally scheduled to be released in summer 2006 to coincide with the release of the movie Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. But in April 2006, the company announced that the release date would be pushed back. Disney's Mike Goslin said the game would be available well before the third "Pirates" movie was released in May 2007. News about the game has been released via a couple of email newsletter updates from Disney.
An early demo of the game was shown at the E3 trade show in May 2006. The game's official website was also redesigned at that time to include a trailer, some screenshots and some concept art.
On January 8, 2007, Paul Yanover of Disney Online showed video footage of the upcoming game during Disney CEO Robert Iger's keynote speech at the Consumer Electronics Show. He also announced that "we’re going to let you play this massively multiplayer online game for free for as long as you want.". Also, several press accounts of the event state that the game will debut during the second quarter of 2007.
