Pirates go online

Avast, me hearties! Disney Onlne has just announced its new Pirates of the Caribbean Online MMOG that will run on both PC and Mac platforms, allowing thousands of players to experience the swashbuckling world that captured the imagination of the world across three years in a captivating trilogy. The game will focus on both action and adventure, featuring a ton of customization options that will cater to a large audience who have different tastes and likes. In the game, you'll be able to create and customize your own pirate, captain your own ship, and assemble a crew, all in the name of becoming the Caribbean's most legendary pirate. Subscriptions to unlimited access require a first-month fee of $4.95, followed by a $9.95 monthly fee after that. Sounds interesting, but it probably won't dethrone WoW anytime soon. More features on the game are available after the jump.
