Disney’s Pirates Of The Caribbean MMORPG looks to grow

Jack_waggingfingerThe Walt Disney Company hasn’t released any official numbers, but the MMORPG tracking site MMOGChart estimates that Disney’s Pirates Of the Caribbean online game has about 10,000 active players. It’s a good number, but not impressive in an age when video games are outselling their movie-theater counterparts. So Disney has announced plans to add new content to the game and increase inter-player communication.

Now, I haven’t logged into the POTC MMORPG myself. But I have played a few other MMORPGs in my day and I know that player interaction is one of the big reasons for joining up (the other being how rich a world has been built). Right now Pirates of the Caribbean is rated E10+ by the ESRB which means suitable for everyone 10 and older. There has been some debate recently about whether the game is even appropriate for the pre-teens which it is attracting. Disney may find that by making the game PG-13 they can allow more player interaction and attract more long term customers.

Any existing players wish to chime in in the comments?
