So I finally got an email back from potco
Hello,
I’m sorry to hear you are having troubles logging into the game.
We have discovered this is an issue associated with an update Norton did for their anti-virus software. We've contacted Norton and they will hopefully be running a new update to fix the problem it's causing with Pirates Online. In the meantime, you can set the permissions on your Norton Anti-virus that will allow access to Pirates Online. If you need assistance with allowing these permissions, we suggest contacting Norton for some assistance. There is a Contact Us section at the bottom of their webpage:

Thank you letting us know about the problem you’ve experienced. Hopefully this helps to get you back up and running quickly.
Sincerely,
Pirates of the Caribbean Online Member Services
