Pirates of the Caribbean the MMORPG!

*Raph's Girl* · 04-26-2005, 11:18 AM

The Walt Disney Co. has announced plans to create a new massively multiplayer online role-playing game based on the Pirates of the Caribbean film franchise and the theme park attraction which inspired it, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The game, developed by The Walt Disney Internet Group, is expected to go live in coordination with the upcoming sequel film Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest in the summer of 2006.

This is the second such venture for Disney Online, which launched Disney's Toontown Online in 2003, the first 3-D MMORPG created for kids and families. The game will be designed with action and humor as players personalize their own pirate characters and form their own crews to engage in swashbuckling adventures, most of which involve battles against other crews or the evil undead, the trade paper reported. A spokesperson for Disney Online said the company expected the subscription-based game to be priced similarly to Toontown, which costs $9.99 a month. It is undetermined which, if any, of the actors in the movies will have a presence in the game.

Dierna note: Toontown rocks!!

I need to start playing it again...

Am I the only one who is still against paying to play a game I bought? I mean buying a game for 50 bucks is annoying but then having to pay for a monthly fee is freaking retarded.

I think you should just get the disk free and pay monthly. Or buy the game and thats it. Still thats too bad for Me. Sounds Cool, Pirates Rock Im also There.

I hope they keep the movie folk out of it. It'd keep the originality higher. What system is it on (xbox or PC ect)?
