@Shamus The Brute : Source wich was avaible online is not usable source, it is source from web game, you can't use it to make standalone game,
I got source from last client provided by disney.

Tom O'fury I was developer on another remake (check my another remake wikia page, you will see I was very active). I don't know for what reason they baned me(why?!) while I was offline for 3 months
another remake developers don't know much about python and not saying about panda , it is true some of them know bit or two but not enough to make MMO, they should first learn python, basics of networking and panda3d, then they can start working on game. For funding read text further bellow.

I want to warm that someone is pretending to be me in chats. I will tweet time and location of chat (e.g. freenode #channel sunday 14:00 ). ----

Hi everyone!
Here I will represent you two possibilities for hosting new POTCO
Please, for gods sake read it careful and decide wisley, this is very importatant and will have
permanent effect, once it is decided it wont be changed.
There are two options:
1. Host POTCO in form as it was when game closed.
Pros:
- Almost no work on game itself is needed
- No changes a.k.a there are famous pirates and isles from POTC movies
Cons:
- Server owners will be chased by Disney and hammer down
- We can not make profit on game that leads to many problems
1. Cummunity needs to buy hosting – this can lead to hacking end users
game crashes and eventualy to general colapse
2. Someone will get in fight with server owner and owner will decide to kick him out
3.People who buy servers will request to be admins – this will have negative effect on players for sure
2. Modify POTCO and remove copyrighted content
Pros:
- Disney can't do anything to us
- We can make profit that means stable servers, controled ownership, and higher security due control of people who have access to host, when host expires we ask community to add more money resources on our accounts this will allow to purchase server in size we need and don't pay for unused space
- Control ower hackers and easy hacking prevention
However there is always a catch:
Cons:
- A lot of work is needed on game
- All copyrighted content needs to be 30% different from original therefore Jack Sparrow will become Jack Narrow
I am extremely against using copyrighted content, I have bad feeling about messing with disney.
Also it can't end up good.
In case you select second option:
We all remember what happened with POTHS, everyone put all their hopes into them and they cheated you. I fully understand you. I will not try to convice you to buy hpsting, I wont try to make you give me even a dolar, nope. First month of server hosting will be paid by myself, I calculated and prepared money. When you see the game, progress I made and if you like it and if it is what you like then, and only then if it is your OWN WILL, you can donate for server. I don't plan to have membership. It is stupid thing, when you come to level 14 your basic account will be automaticly converted to former paid membership, now completly free.
Many of you will ask wth is with me, and will think this is just another beg for money. Nope, I don't want you money, nor I need it. I am good like this, it is on you if you want to play POTCO online or offline. I you decide to be online , then you will donate for servers. Simple as that. Money will be collected only when needed (on end of month or maybe three months period depending on amount of players)
Thats all mates, thaks for reading, now please select one option and respond.
( I will note down users which responded and if you are not on list , don't even try to negotiate about decision , what ever it be)
Thank you all,
Tomislav

Note to admins/moderators : it would be nice if someone fixed my horrible engish and grammar
and if it is not a problem I would realy apreciate if you could point forum users to this post. This is very importatant and will have permanent effect, once it is decided it wont be changed, so chose wisley!
