Disney is planning to release a Pirates of the Caribbean MMO to coincide with the third Pirates film later this year.
The game is getting some press because it will be free to download and play in an ad-supported model (think a windowed game with ads on the top or periphery of the window) or $9.95/month for the no-ad version.
MMORPG.Com has a preview of the game which doesn’t sound like it will be as child-oriented as Toon Town is, but probably not something that is going to rock the world of the World of Warcraft devotees either.
Frankly, as long as it doesn’t outright suck, the more pirate games the better.
