They've been in the closed beta stage working out a lot of bugs. Meanwhile, they are looking to flush out a number of different aspects (missions, economy), plus looking to add avatar combat. In addition, FLS has been constantly expanding its personnel, which means things are moving along.
I'm sure the game is going to be well worth the wait especially with the next economy system.
Looking forward to seeing you guys on the high seas.
I really don't agree... This games looks as though it is going to be awesome, I love other pirate RPG's and a pirate MMORPG is just the icing on the cake. What could be better than a pirate sailing the open seas and talking to mates arranging to invade britain or france? I will definately play this game despite the hype about it dropping.
I have faith that this game will be out and not have any worries from Pirates of the Carribean. I mean come one Disney has to stretch its boundaries to put out a damn movie let alone a decent game...so no worries on either front...

This game was supposed to be released over 3 years ago - each time they say it just needs a little more developement, etc. Graphics and playability aside, I doubt seriously if they even have the staff to maintain the product once its released (can you say server crashes, code issues, etc.?)

I thought it was supposed to be released just last year not 3 yrs like Darkfall...either way I will watch for this game to come out and have faith that these guys are going to put out a decent game and will have a decent staff to maintain it as well...they cannot go wrong like SOE just as long as they keep up the good CS...besides when you start making a game you start with the graphics you have then later on you have to update with the progress...so if they have to put it off for just a lil more development so be it...atleast I am not paying to play a beta...

Some of us have been following this game for over 3 years and have gotten wise to the Peter Molyneux-esque style of over promising and under delivering. We're past Q1 2006 and where is this game? Oh thats right its going to be released in Q1 of 2007.... yeah right...

Okay I understand your frustration...hell I played SWG for crying out loud I don't think there are any players more frustrated than a SOE Game player....anyhow I only heard that the game was supposed to be released last year...not 3 years ago...but thats ok...there are other games coming out for me to play like Roma Victor that I will go with until PotBS or something else comes out...so its no big deal for me...But I do understand your frustration...

Things have been going reasonably well with the new update, so we went ahead and sent out a new round of beta invites today*. It's still a very small number, but I expect it to start happening more frequently.
Looking at the info released today about disneys pirate mmorpg it seems potbs won't get much competition. I doubt any serious mmorpg player is going to play disneys game. It could even be a good thing, players starting out with disneys game and when they feel they want something a bit more complex and look around there is potbs waiting for them
"Memories are meant to fade. They're designed that way for a reason."
Also, as the dev's have stated numerous times, PotBS and PotC are aiming for different markets. PotC's big thing is about interacting with NPC's from the movie, and becoming the biggest pirate, whereas with PotBS pirates are only 1/4th the mix, you still have the British, French, and Spanish. I also think, as with Toontown, Disney is catering to a younger audience, whereas PotBS is gearing towards an older crowd, those with an interest in the times and whatnot.
I never read such blx as i have read here from some of you. The game will be released when its ready . Go and play whatever the new fad is and let those of us who want an inteligent era MMo play without you. Suits us fine . Cya !!!!! Oh enjoy all the bugs from rushed releases as well .
At this point in time, I think not even the developers themselves can say for sure what is actually going to happen with POTBS...
I can see both the points of people saying it is never going to be released (as I have also started to give up hope every now and then) and of people saying it will be released (as I too truly hope it will be!). So in the meantime we should all go back to whatever we're playing at the moment and hope for the best... who knows, maybe by the time they will release it, they will have included things that will not make it outdated, etc?!
I think the game will be released in the near future. I think the basic parts of the game are complete. They won't state a release date until they have one in stone.
Right now, I don't see a lot of competition that interests me as much as PotBS. I have no doubt someone else will develop an interesting MMORPG, but at the moment most look like fantasy clones. Watch out. It's the Stepford MMORPGs.
If you guys just read to E3 article they said they spoke with the team and BETA is scheduled for THIS fall and RELEASE THIS WINTER, its not like its planned to come out in 5 years
Currently Playing: WOW (would someone PLEASE make a good MMO for Mac so I can quite... LOL)
Played: UO, Lineage II, Conan, Auto Assault, DDO, Earth & Beyond, EVE, SWG, LOTRO, STO, EQ2, W.A.R. & PotBS
well it is just a bit annoying to read that the development of the game takes to long... look at the company... they have maybe 20 to 40 people at work there and dont have millions of bucks to throw around like blizzard... so hell it takes time you woudlnt want to send your five year old child to work........
they will relaese it when they feel like it.... i mean how did blizzard work on their boring mmo game...loook what came out...
potbs has the potential to introduce some new features in the mmo world....so yeah it takes time to balance these and test these features..... rome wasnt built in one day.....

Well they better get it done qwik!!
Looks as if Disney is going to beat them to the punch with the release in 2006 of POTC.
LINKY!!!
Want to ENJOY an mmo?
Dont start a guild and dont be a leader or volunteer to be coleader or captain.

Actually, Disney has announced that they've pushed it back to 2007.

Quick beta update
