I posted this on the other potco forum site and i'll post it here too. Last night I was playing with an old friend who told me something interesting... He has some friends that are founders in the game and they told him that disney is actually already working on a new and improved version of POTCO which is why they are shutting down this old outdated version. But the new version won't be ready until a year or so from now (closer to when the next POTC movie is coming out). Now, I only believe about 10% of this story myself but wouldn't it be fantastic if in fact they really were going to re-release a new and improved potco? I'd play it! If I find out anything more (like where these founders heard this news, and why would they be told something like that and not everyone else?). I would think they would include this news of a new version being created when they told us they are closing down the current POTCO to take the sting out of the news a little. Sort of like "hey, we are closing POTCO but for a really good reason because we need the programmers to focus their time on the NEW and IMPROVED POTCO so stay patient and sign up for future beta testing, blah, blah, blah. Now that would have made us all happy knowing at least we would get another potco out of all this..... Which is why I sort of doubt this "rumor". But if anyone else hears this same rumor please elaborate because this would be amazing news.
I believe you, closing for a year would be the ideal way to not only fix bugs, glitches, connection problems etc, they must start again from the beginning. According to you, you are referring to the movie Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2015).
Time will show us what they are planning...
