Jolly Roger's Island[]
Jolly Roger's Island was an unreleased island in POTCO (Pirates of the Caribbean Online). The Idea was scrapped because it would have costed too much money.
Possible Backstory[]
The contents of this section are pure conjecture.Based on many points, the Aztec Temples, the Aztec Weapons, and the general look of the island, one can form a possible backstory for the island.
The weapons crafted by the developers for the island seem to hint at El Dorado (Spanish for The Golden), which was a lost Aztec city made of pure gold. Perhaps this island was indeed El Dorado. The weapons also speak of legendary Aztec figures, Quetzalcoatl and Montezuma. Perhaps part of the backstory was that a convoy of Aztecs discovered a way off of South America, and found themselves in the Caribbean. There, they may have constructed a new tribe of Aztecs, in which El Dorado was formed, and later discovered by the Spanish (hence the ancient fort). Jolly Roger may have killed off the inhabitants and made it his own personal island, or may have discovered it abandoned and took it over.
List Of Unreleased Weapons[]
While the Aztec Island went under production, another section of the POTCO team created and finished Aztec-themed weapons and items for the update. Although the actual island will most likely never be released, we may see these weapons in the future.
- Lost Sword Of El Dorado
- Sword Of Quetzalcoatl
- Montezuma's Blade
- El Dorado's Charm
Update Cancellation[]
In May 2010, the Aztec development plan was scrapped due to it's development costs being too high. Also in May, another concept artist created a new, more eerie design of the island, in an attempt to salvage the project.
Although the redesign was good for reducing the cost of the update, it was not enough. A developer confirmed that the update was indeed canceled for good, as they moved on to the ship customization update as a new, successful venture.
