'threatened to carry out more Swat attacks, cause 'accidental' gas-leaks, and even threatened to hire a hit-man to murder my girlfriend if we went through with our planned release.' The Retribution project manager also alleges that TLOPO

Another group, The Legends of Pirates Online (TLOPO) is also attempting a revival of the game, and, according to the Retribution programmers, 'is literally threatening to murder members of the Pirates Online Retribution Staff.' Apparently, TLOPO tried to 'Swat' the Retribution team, only to mistakenly hit a law firm 'Several people were injured in the process' the post claims. There also appears to be a fair bit of drama involved with the game, as detailed in this post on the forums. It's an ambitious set of promises, and you have to admire the developers' passion for their project. According to the website, Retribution is '100% Free to Play, and always will be!' (though you can purchase subscriptions starting at $13.99/month) with 'Quality customer support' and 'Top of the line DDOS and Hack protection firewalls.' Pirates Online Retribution goes into open beta next week, on May 26 - a date clearly meant to coincide with the release of the newest Pirates movie, which launches on the same day. Now, a group of programmers is attempting to revive the game under a new flag. It garnered a mixed reception that was still better than the critical acclaim received by the last few movies. It was licensed by Disney to SilverTree Media and meant to coincide with the release of the third installment of the film series, Dead Man's Chest, though it was delayed from that date by over a year. The Pirates of the Caribbean Online MMO operated from October 2007 to September 2013.
