It would be pretty cool for sure. The only thing is, there's not much to go on other than
this video unless someone has the actual program still installed. The tattoo does look cool and it would be great to have back in the game. I completely agree with ye mate, it would be a great addition to the game!
The video was cool, but the remarks from long ago were very revealing and I added another quote from that video comment section in the 'trade, yes or no' extra thread.
But this persons comments about the Kraken gave some insights to the history. The game itself was/is heavily debated.

Major disappointment. POTCO - Pirates of the Caribbean Online After 2 years of promises of adding the Kraken in-game, Disney has failed. The "addition" here is of an offline stand-alone game (of which thousands better already exist) instead of something that customers have been screaming for. Looking at the files downloaded (yo Disney - it is a DOWNLOAD - why have any OS or worse, BROWSER requirements?) are all dated from early 2008. Yes, this game was finished being written two years ago...right around the time when customers started leaving in droves because of the lack of in-game content. Very clearly here, the company that Disney hired to do this proprietary, non-portable garbage, simply offended the existing programmers so much that they all left. It now is crystal clear - the original developers had much invested (more than Disney) in the PANDA architecture. Their adherence to open protocols resulted in a fun game, that Disney has spent 2 years degrading and destroying. ---------------------------------- When news of "Call of the Kraken" hit yesterday, over 20 in-game friends of mine (core players mainly from 3 large guilds) left to download the WoW 10 day trial. Out of all those people, I was the only person with a computer that could download and run this demo game from disney.com. Way To Go. Seriously Disney, Way To Go. Let's see...since 2007 customers have been asking for: 1) Removal of glitches (none removed yet - many changed, but none removed.) 2) Second story chapter (nothing yet.) 3) Less lag (original memory management problems never fixed; all enhancements made supposedly to reduce lag have increased lag for almost everyone.) 4) Improved inventory (clothing items max = 5? wth? Why not 5,000? Why not 5,000,000? Max ships = 3? wth? Why not 3 trillion ships? Max gold 65k? Puh-leeeez.) 5) Balanced PvP. (OK, not many people realize this, but the reason PvP and SvS sucks so horribly in POTCO, is because of the A) inherent cheats combined with B) unbalanced damage scales. For example, Fury ammo does 8 times the damage of a regular cannon ball, instead of plus 8 damage. Or "open fire" or "take cover" being changed at the time SvS was added - previously they did nothing - now both do thousands of times more than they claim to - i.e. TC incorrectly gives total invincibility.) 6) Increase notoriety cap from 40. Hey! They got one! Added a plethora of glitches along with it, but hey, at least it's something. How many years until they correct the cheaters at level 62? Time will tell... 1 for 6 Disney. Fail.
