I will say this once and one time only we never ever even agreed to saying we had been in corporation with NickSparrowStudios as for the one who runs that youtube channel not an actual studio is 15 or 16 years of age. According to company rules of V3N0M Studios and Pirates Online Elite which is not a remake of POTCO rather is a new game coming out but however has a remake being made under them. We are developing a new Web Browser and Linux as well with a search engine which is due for release by the end of this year. I wish all good luck until then!

The Pirates Online Elite's remake of POTCO is still on going. As mentioned in the official Discord on 5/3/2018 and more staff are expected as well to arrive. Stay tuned.

(Some might experience issues with the site as its undergoing maintenance to make sure its secure and has updates.)

We are getting all excited for release! However before we do we must make sure that all is secure and well developed. If lag persist on the dev server that means there is something wrong or there is an error. We want to make sure that your accounts and all information is safe on the website and in game as well.

Venom Studios official website will be online this December don't miss it!

We will be doing some major updates to the website and some of the game files Monday next week as we continue to improve and ready the release of the remake of ours to the POTCO community.

More updates coming soon I expect previews galore coming and a good stable funding soon on the horizon been speaking to people to sponsor the project.

Make sure to visit the official website of our remake of POTCO by visiting this link. The website is still undergoing some development so some things will seem off however if you are not seeing the website atm and are experiencing issues it may help to use a VPN to be able to see it! Got any issues questions comments or concerns? You can email me at HootThePirate@gmail.com you can also join the official Pirates Online Elite discord server. By visiting the invite link here (https://discord.gg/PEwdWz)

We will be updating the website very soon to allow the site to become user friendly to where everyone can start to view it without a VPN as we been making the website as secure as possible and it will be getting its own DB which is going to be the DB used in game so you don't need to create two different accounts to sign in to the site and game the accounts will be linked to the forums as well so no need to sign up when we have the forums created down the road! Stay tuned for more information!

Lags are being decreased in the game on the developer side atm. We are removing some broken things and anything showing as an error and fixing them and then replacing them in the game and making it work faster for user convenience!

We will soon be looking around for Sponsors for Venom Studios and then the sponsors will also count as part of sponsoring Pirates Online Elite. Talks between the company of Venom Studios and some Multi-million dollar companies have been recently been happening to make the upcoming internet browser make a mass release to the public.

Updates have been made to our website more things to see and navigate around to view! Hope you enjoy if you cannot visit the site try using a VPN and then you should be able to view it.

Community be advised only thing we are needing to add right now for the game is the database for release and then finish the website and launcher. After that release for all to play for free and have fun.

Update July 11: Still focused on looking at a good secure database to protect information to the community and players who sign up. Still speaking to sponsors on them doing sponsoring on the latest upcoming browser Venom Browser to help with funds on the remake as well... We will have a monthly fund of $400.00-$500.00 a month. Which will open the servers of the game and etc for public playing to be possible. Which is soon to be announced on the estimate time of the funds to come in.

Hoot The Pirate has spent $13,000.00 dollars on visual studio tools to help with alot of good works for development continuously talking with steam community and their developers to see what the requirements are needed for the remake to be put on steam we plan to release to the steam community as it is a way to revive and draw in a large and new community to make the game as active possibly as the old days. We plan on getting the remake website switched to a different host perhaps the issue why some people cannot visit the site and some can we are deciding on dreamhost and blue host. Both are beneficial and would make the site secure. The database is undergoing extreme security measures to protect all information of players whom chose to play. We plan to also be adding more discussion on Venom Studios as the remake is being sponsored by them. More news and updates to come till then cheers of rum and joy to all. Drink up me hearties yo'ho!

Pirates Online Elite is continuing progress on the remake we will be rehiring a few people into the project to speed it up. We also will soon release the ETA or estimated time of arrival of the remake to the public. Stay tuned and savvy mates!

Update: Release expectected to happen at or around the date of December 17, 2018. We will discuss what we are currently doing and hire two more staff potentially by tomorrow.

Venom Studios has pl aced down a 10,000 dollar server for Pirates Online Elite. This is a big step talk will continue more updates soon!

Discussion has started about Retribution returning into the picture rumors of this have been found true. As of September 19, 2018 Retribution will reopen it's unlawful doors to people who are about half a chicken nugget short from a full mcnugget. In other words if you believe in a product or game known to give accounts away and people's passwords like the 13,000 accounts that had been leaked back before POR was privatized then be my guest not only to mention POR had made YouTube dislike BOTS etc. Along with stealing credit information which will be reported upon the reopening. POE will not be going anywhere and we will be remaining open and functioning our Developers and I will be having a conversation on being more active on updating staff and the community on both the page and the discord. Again we will remain open. There will be no further discussion of POR or any other remake. As I don't think anyone needs to be losing more brain cells than what I've seen in the other communities.

We are sad to hear some grave news for Venom Studios community. We are sad to report the passing of a team member from a battle with stage 4 liver cancer. His brother is a developer in the community. I hope and pray for the best of the families of theirs. RIP

This is an interesting update to all ye savvy pirates! In POE is now 4 islands coming amoung the horizon! This will allow us to work with the new blackpearl quest in the making which will bring a lot more enemies and new things inside the game. Kingshead will be remodeled sometime after release and there will be a tunnel running under the entire island. A long with a new powerful boss such as Cutler Beckett and his of course guards but don't attack him alone or you'll be sorry. We also plan on adding in Davy Jones ship as a boss ship just like the queen Anne's revenge. With the same concept. We have started patching glitches more so as well and will soon add an anti cheat system. With an autoban feature.

Discord message: Sorry for late delay on update haven't been feeling good for last couple days. Anyhow Pirates Online Elite is working to disable cheat engines to cheat in the game so there is no hacking or cheating MongoDB has been very supportive in helping POE and we will continue with MongoDB services for the game. We will be focusing on creating a way for the player to login when inside the app and play instead of having the launcher and game. This will speed up updates and releasing things without the need to update a separate application.

Updates coming to the site of POE down the road giving it a more modern look. To improve navigation and etc.

### 2019

Just posted in discord, "If people want to post screenshots of chat by all means try to do so see how far it gets you and how quick you leave. Trying to cause drama from people and remakes that I surely don't give a rats ass about then try to bring their bull into this server will not and I repeat will not be tolerated. My goal is to keep the community safe just as I do with Venom Studios got a problem then this is the internet few clicks there's the door but I'm not gonna have immature childish behavior inside the chat. This is a game that is supported by a security company and I am not going to take harassment on one of the projects or slander. If you have any problems it was stated and is still stated to contact @Rumplestiltskin or me. Other than that update is later today. I will also be having a serious discussion with a couple of staff down the road concerning my health. Thank you."

Update Saturday, Feb 23 posted on Discord app. "@everyone for this week's update. Venom Studios is releasing a tool that can be found in their public repository that is for security testing a.k.a known as V3N0M Stress test 1.0. We also have been working continuously on the new site that will grant easier navigation and a better interface with enhanced security to the site. We've been also fixing lag issues and removing anything that is causing errors to be placed back in when fixed. As a memory leak is not caused by sound rather an object or file that's has an error and is forcefully being added multiple times or re-added which causes issues as the client has to process things to function correctly we cannot have an error. We are also going to have an income soon with 3-7 months meaning we will be able to open the servers of the game for public use. We will open a month before releasing to public for moderators and developers alongside public members. If you are not part of the staff team you can play beta testing for 2 hours a day. If you donate it will be 24/7 for the month as beta testing is to get an idea of our servers and client connection. This will be a month long period after that we will allow players publicly to play 24/7 for the remainder of the game. We are also patching bugs and glitches. Alongside patching python injectors to prevent cheats in SvS and PvP etc. As cheats tend to make the game less fun for other players. We are also adding enhanced DDOS protection and VPN protection for players to protect their identity and add a hardware ID ban down the road. Stay tuned for more information coming soon!"

Venom Studios and the project of Pirates Online Elite keep the community as professional as possible. The staff team is about the most professional I've seen in the Disney project. I think these guys are the correct choice for the community as I don't see any powers being abused and alot of professionalism. I think these guys will make the community better and grow. Thank you staff team of POE and Venom Studios for helping the community! This year we will be releasing POE and I am pleased to say we are going to have a good time as the player base will grow as this will be released to steam as we have a good relationship with steam.

@everyone Update Fri, March 15 2019: Venom Studios now looking into migrating the pirate remake to an upgrade on python. Meaning Python 2.x will possibly be no longer around and instead using 3.x to improve speeds by at least 50% more. The reason is not only due to the speed rather as well due to Python dropping support possibly by 2020 for python 2.x. Switching to Python 3.x can help greatly as when Python 2.x is dropped it would be time for the remakes to switch to Python 3.x completely or die away. Alongside upgrading python means we can then upgrade Panda3D as well since their latest release works with Python 3.x versions. Alongside possibly making the upgrade to python faster we plan to make PYPY V 7.0 come into the game if possible as cpython is the default programming for python. PYPY is an implementation that can enhance the speed up to anywhere around 5-7 times! This will allow us down the road to add plenty of things in the game without much worry of a lag and put many of the wonderful suggestions coming in straight into the game. Were also working continuously on the brand new site that will be offering the community better navigation and security alongside being updated daily. We are also going to have the site placed under a custom domain. Stay savvy mates!

@everyone updates to website are being done changing the video on main page to something better and longer. Alongside editing the logo at the top to look more fitting to the site. As I've come to notice it. Finally decided to get that changed. Staff will also be added to the staff area and we will update the game news.

@everyone We had a conference call with Oracle CEO and Specialist Engineer alongside a support representative who put this together for Venom Studios to communicate with the company. We discussed their Database and discussed if it has any compatibility with what all we are doing. We are able to do so. Their support is amazing and I am happy to have been in the conference with them. This was a big step into a possibility for a new DB. We are also continuing updates on Python27 and turning it into Python3. Alongside added PYPY intergration. Panda3D 1.10.2 has been fully installed and yes that is the latest engine of Panda3D. I'm pleased to also say that developers are looking into using a modern implementation of DirectX into the game that is compatible. We will be looking into that more so. Alongside we are still adding on the list of some suggestions that the community has placed through. Stay tuned for next week!

@everyone we will be having a definite release this year on POE. We just are working on migrating Python3 into place. We already implemented a DB and a brand new Panda3D Engine. Website host will be changing so we can hook up a database. We also might switch to a new and improved database the autonomous Oracle cloud database as we have had great talks with Oracle CEO and Specialist Engineer. We have been doing extremely well and we will also be updating textures and adding new additions to the game such as a different style of trees and animation to plants and trees when the game is fully stable. As we want to prevent an issue with lagging for players in the community. We have been working on also implenting a updated version of DirectX that is compatible with the game. To provide a better experience. More information coming up next week stay tuned and stay savvy! :0)~

Pirates Online Elite will be releasing publicly this year. Thank you developers for this long time effort you guys put in to this game to make all possible. Thank you staff as well for keeping community informed and safe as well. We will continue to release updates.

Pirates Online Elite will be ran under Venom Studios Co. For those unfamiliar with Venom Studios we are a security software company that will be helping people keep devices safe and secure from everything including viruses and malware. We will be opening a website in the next couple of months that all can use and soon download tools. We are going to release a secured internet browser for the public in 2020-2021. We will have more news and photos of the internet browser soon! We are pleased to announce that our dev team is being upgraded soon. Meaning larger updates and more efficient time between updates. Thank you for those within the community!

Howdy! Folks sorry I haven't updated the page in a while! Here is the last updates from September 10, 2019! Update Tue, Sep 10: Development has been at a steady pace for the past couple of weeks. We are working on patching cheats atm mainly anything involving a python injector. Alongside fixing anything else that needs to be fixed we are working soon on getting rid of the launcher and making it to where the game itself has a login system. Which hopefully makes the game faster by just a smudge. Alongside make things less complicated. Upon full release we will give people who sign up a Gold founders coin. We do believe security is just about complete in the game. This security will include an Auto ban system. Which means any cheats will result in a automatic ban from the game for a month. Any repeat offenses will result in termination of users said account. We are going to be working towards the quest soon and creating a new line of quest to keep the game interesting. Other than that make sure to stay tuned for the next update in a week! Stay savvy!

@everyone sorry for delayed update been creating a new montage on GTA V. Anyhow developers have finally started to work on Xbox and PlayStation platforms. Right now the game is undergoing some updates on the server and client connection we are adding a few new security measures as well as well as more stability. We will be showing off alpha versions as soon as. We get a chance to on Xbox. We also are placing kingshead under construction soon to add what might be a new quest mates! Which also means the old jail might soon be working on kingshead. Stay tuned!
