Old Pirates Online Launchers
2007-2009 Launcher
Before 2009, there was an old style of Launcher for Unlimited Access members, and later Basic Access Members in 2008. There were two variations. One with Jolly Roger, and one with Jack Sparrow on it.
2007 Basic Access Launcher
Until Late January 2008, Basic Access members had a special launcher that prevented them from entering Full Screen Mode. Within the first 7 days of play, however, Basic Access members could have fullscreen, ad free game play. They would play through the launcher and would be restricted to Medium Graphics, and be subjected to Ads about Unlimited Access and other Disney Games every 10 minutes. Due to extreme negative feedback, the feature was removed, and Basic Access was granted Full Screen Mode, Ad-Free Game Play, and Unlimited Graphics Options.
