Ahoy Mates! I would like to take the time to address the community. I am the now former project leader of Pirates Online Rewritten. Many members of the POTCO community had very little faith in Pirates Online Rewritten, and we had every intention to recreate POTCO. We had our ups and our downs as a team and we finally have reached the point in which we have decided to let the project set sail for the last time. We are extremely disappointed to be bringing you the news that we simply cannot recreate Pirates Online. We are limited on resources, manpower, and skill. Many community members would like to believe that they knew we were going to close for some time, but rest assured that isn’t the case. The ideas and reasons that were previously brought up were far off from the real reasons. When we took on the project, well, when TheGleamings and X Jumper took on the project. They had very limited knowledge and created a simple walking simulator. This was just not the way to do it. They were pulling phase files into a game and setting them up. It looked good, but it wasn’t POTCO. When Josh Kenway took over, we were given hope again due to the fact that he had a team of individuals that have rebuilt games before. Unfortunately, they had some really pressuring life issues, and they were all trying to work on their own Pirate’s game. They couldn’t dedicate the time they wanted to Pirates Online Rewritten. Then finally, I was elected Project Leader. I wanted to focus on learning as much as we could about how the game worked, how the server system needs to work, and how to go about rewriting all of it. When we spent a good week just strictly learning, we discovered the ability to build create-a-pirate. This was done by Dark Shadow, Skipps, and Mike Wass. Then we ran into several issues and drama within the staff. Many of the developers could not figure out how to get along. Everyone was getting tired of errors and not getting far. Shadow Coder, then took a leave to work on her own projects.... read the full article at hyperurl.co/PORCancellation
