Disney Online’s Pirates of the Caribbean Online, an immersive massively multiplayer online game (MMOG) and virtual world inspired by the popular film franchise, has launched for Mac and PC platforms. In Pirates of the Caribbean Online, players create and customize their own pirate, captain their own ship, and assemble a crew of their fellow rogues in an effort to become the Caribbean’s most legendary pirate.
Along the way, players will interact with characters such as Jack Sparrow, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann, and will also encounter a host of new characters and enemies unique to the game. To become the most notorious pirate, players must forge alliances, hunt for buried treasure, battle evil undead forces, and use cunning and strategy to outwit their foes.
Players can download the game directly and access additional information at the game’s web site. A portion of the game is available for free and players can get unlimited access for a monthly subscription fee. At launch, Disney Online is offering new players subscriptions to Unlimited Access for a first-month fee of US$4.95 and continuing with a $9.95 fee for following months.
