Server

Servers (also known as Oceans) are the different areas in the Pirates of the Caribbean Online game. Because it is such a large universe, it must be spread over numerous computers allowing for thousands of players. Two players could be on the exact same location in the exact same island but not interact with each other - because they are on different servers.

Each ocean has a unique name.

To change oceans, click on the Sea Chest, then the Globe Icon Map (Menu). Above the pirate's map is the name of the ocean server they are currently on. Click on the name and a list of servers will appear. Next to each name is a status.


 * FULL - The number of pirates on this server is maxed out. You cannot go there.
 * IDEAL - A good mixture of pirates and it's not too crowded.
 * QUIET - Few or no pirates on this server, meaning that social interaction may be limited.


 * Note - If you needed to do solo quests, finding a quiet server may be ideal to prevent lag, but not good for PvP.

Select the ocean you want and your pirate will be whisked away. If you are on a main island, you will be transported to the same island on that ocean. Otherwise, you will be teleported to your home port (last main island you were on).

Test Server
The Test Server is actually a separate game, and a separate download. It requires certain qualifications for it to be accessed by players. The qualifications are specified in the Test Server article. After signing up, users get to "test" a variety of updates, before their releases into the live game. Despite it being separate it is still referred to as "server". The Test game has 2 servers in it.

Welcome Server
Welcome Servers are special servers for new pirates. Port Royal is the only island on these servers. Once a pirate sets forth in his/her ship for the first time, they are out in the 'Real World' or 'Live' servers of Pirates Online.

You cannot leave the welcome server until you have a compass and a sword.

Welcome servers are:

Welcome 1

Welcome 2

Welcome 3

Welcome 4

Welcome 5

Welcome 6

Welcome 7

Wecome 8

Welcome 10

Game Note
Some players or entire Guilds prefer one server over another. But, no player or group can lay claim to a particular server or area.
