It all came to an abrupt end in August 2013 when the developer and publisher Disney announced that Pirates of the Caribbean Online would walk the shutdown plank in September. It had decent content and a fair number of players. Once upon a time, there was an official Pirates of the Caribbean MMORPG. Pirates of the Caribbean Online is available as a private server. While the modern MMO scene is severely lacking in this area – blimey! – we do have a few titles that should satisfy one’s thirst for pillaging, fancy hats, and hooks. Are you tired of being a landlubber? We’ve got 12 MMOs that might appeal to all ye freebooters, corsairs, marauders, swashbucklers, or scurvy dogs by any other name out there.
