The Game is Live - Play Now!
After several years of hard work by our development and publishing teams, we officially launched Pirates Online at 11:30 PM on October 30, 2007. If you haven't already, we invite you to jump into the game and embark on the adventure of a lifetime!
Pirates Celebration in Hollywood!
 | Thanks to all our players who came out to celebrate Halloween and the official launch of Pirates Online. It was a great event, and being able to spend time with members from our player community made it even better! For those of you who couldn't make it, we've posted some pictures from the event for you to check out and have also included some footage in this month's Video Insider. |
Leaderboards Now Live
 | See how you stack up against other pirates! Visit the leaderboards to see the top 25 ranked Pirates in the following categories: Overall Notoriety, Enemies Defeated, Ships Sunk, PVP Wins (Team Battle), PVP Wins (Mayhem) and the Number of Blackjack Hands Won. We are currently in the works on some additional community features, which we'll be announcing in the coming weeks, so stay tuned! |
Create or Join a Pirate Guild - New Invitation Codes
 | Want to always have a band of Pirates to turn to for help? Different than a session-only Crew, you can create or join a persistent Pirate Guild and your fellow rogues will always just be a click away -- even after you log out. Click here to find out how. |

Player Q & A
Thanks for all the feedback you've continued to provide - it's great to hear what our community has to say, so keep it coming! You can view our most recent questions and answers in the Player Q&A section of the Web site.
From Steven: I was wondering why some POTC online players (avatars) over level 30 can do things like play a guitar or sweep with a brush??!! What is this and how do they do this? Thanks!
This sounds like a case of our DEV's showing off! Stay tuned for fun emotes that may be unlocked by certain quests and notoriety gains.

When I tried putting a link to the words "jump into the game", it put a lock next to the link, so I left it out. Doesn't a lock mean secured site? I'm not sure if we should have it, if we should, feel free to add it :). --Haveamagicalday (Talk | Contributions) 17:06, 30 May 2008 (PDT)
Yes, the lock means it is a secure site, if you look at the address, it is https which indicates this security. There is no problem adding this kind of link to the wiki, so I added it back. --UpInTheAir 21:08, 31 May 2008 (PDT)
