My initial reactions upon discovering the game was closing:

After I read "Important News For POTCO:" Sweet Another update!!

My reaction after reading it was closing: This must be the April Fools joke... Oh wait it's August

Reaction after reading WHY it's closing: Wait! So They want to focus more on silly penguins than Pirates of the Caribbean... -_- Forgive me for not understanding your logic, Disney.

I've been playing since the beginning and I'm sad that it's coming to an end. I've made lots of great friends and memories here, but I'm still clinging to a sliver of hope (no matter how small) that one day this game will reopen. But until then, keep a weather eye on the horizon, maties. :)
