Disney launches Pirates MMO

Today Disney Online officially launched their entry into the overcrowded pirate-themed MMO race, Pirates of the Caribbean Online. Based on the movies based on a ride at Disneyland based on old movies based on ahistorical myths about 17th century Caribbean piracy, the game is available for both PC and Mac.

Some Disney flack:

The launch of Pirates of the Caribbean Online opens up an entirely new world of pirate adventures to thousands of fans who can now play alongside their favorite characters in a fully-immersive environment that builds on and goes beyond the epic stories created in the films. We believe the game’s focus on action and adventure, combined with many customization options will appeal to a broad audience of both gamers and fans of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise as they set out on their own course to live the legend.

Each player creates a pirate captain with their own customizable ship. As it’s a Disney game, character names are checked for profanity, and chip names must be chosen fromThe download and trial are free. The trial contains limited content; at launch, Disney Online is offering new players subscriptions to Unlimited Access for a first-month fee of $4.95 and continuing with a $9.95 monthly fee.
