| “So, you’re a bit worse for wear there, mate. Been a rough patch of sea you’ve traversed? Be sure to stop by and share some of your rum with me. Savvy?” Jack Sparrow will be with us for years to come – his laughable antics while searching for his stolen ship, saving the girl, and proving his moral worth have given us memories we will not soon forget – and Disney has taken these experiences to a new level for us in the form of Pirates of the Caribbean Online. |  |
Pirates of the Caribbean is offering new character customization!
In Pirates of the Caribbean Online, players create and customize their own pirate choosing from over a million combinations – from gender, body type, face, and hair, to clothing and names. Adding to the already extensive character creation system, Disney Online will introduce new customization options in February. Just a few of these include:
-Clothing: New pants, hats, coats, and more
-New hairstyles
-Tattoos
-Jewelry: Including earrings, nose rings, necklaces and more
In addition to new character customization features, Disney Online has additional content planned for 2008 including expanding ship customization, extending quest story lines, and adding more enemies and challenges.

Gamasutra has published an interview with Disney Online's VR Studio vice president, Mike Goslin.
What were the challenges in translating the Pirates world to a new medium?The interview was originally done with Gamasutra's sister site and was reposted!
Our biggest obstacle was trying to deliver an authentic Pirates of the Caribbean experience in that incredibly detailed and richly textured world while still running on a wide range of PC hardware.
I think the world we ended up with delivers an experience that lives up to the high standards of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. The credit goes to our incredibly talented artists who did a lot with a little and our hard-working engineers who spent months and months tuning the engine.
