i just want a way to where i can play with all friends instead of just 3 at a time because i have around 8 irl friends that would love to play on same server and alliance up but we have to split up. that really sucks and i hope u can find a way to address this.
way to play with more than 4
Theoretically... If you can get a friend to spawn on the same server but not in your crew you could have a 2 galleon Alliance for 8 players. Just have your friends join you and the friend.
Can't help but think that I've just helped a bear out of a zoo pen and they'll now proceed to maul all the people in the zoo.
But the bear promised me they'd be nice!
You options is to that every one just start an galleon, everyone kill them self, so you can see if any of you had hit the same server
The other option is to ask/buy from someone else.
You very simple ask when they are done playing, If one of them could send you an invite to they ship before logging off.
Or if someone just logging in, you can give them some free loot, an then have them to invite an leave.This is how many Discord "servers" is run.

@chrisp-death no way. you and your friends would rule the server.
Pfffff. Lemme at em in my trusty sloop, and if i have a crewmate and a few cursed cannonballs? Id rather battle 2 galleons than a well manned sloop i think..
The players who take over servers are the people who already do so by spawnkilling ships until someone quits and then convincing the rest to invite one them to take the ship.
Having a real option would likely help people who dont have that level of skill/patience/willingness to actually play as a pirate who dosnt care so much for others intentions.
They've said they want to implement this functionality through the addition of "private servers" so that people can get multiple ships to do races, battles, and such.
You probably won't be able to earn any gold or rep though, because they did say they don't want people just queueing up to farm stuff in alliances and this would be their biggest consideration when implementing it.
So what you're looking for is on the way, but nobody knows how far off it is.
@chronodusk o ok i am new to forum and just asking. i just want a way to play with alot friends when those kinda times do arise. its not an everyday thing but when we all are on it would be nice. thxs for response.
@a-cranky-eskimo well its not that were are trying to "Rule a server". if i wanted that i would go spend 30000 hours in ark and cry myself to sleep every night. i just want a way to play with more than 4 because there is rare occasions when my entire group is on and we have to split up and it kinda debunks the fun because of it.
Just go around asking if you can have a ship when other players are about to leave the game. I do this all the time. It's great fun sailing with a lot of friends and a lot of ships. You'll even meet some cool people this way. Most people will let you join them before they log off. Some you may have to offer some loot to and/or an Athena voyage.
DUDE I would love this.. Rare has needed to make it possible to play with larger groups for a long time now.
This is something that IMO has been holding the game back since its launch.
Yeah it would be a nice game feature.
At the moment the only way to get more friends on one server is to find another crew and ask them if you can have their ship. It can take a little while to find another Ship. Your best bet is at outposts since these people will be just starting a game or have just finished a mission.
Approach another ship and tell them your intentions. Then they need to add one of you into their crew (might have to make friends first) and then leave the game. You can then add your friends. Make sure to switch the crew type to "Closed" ASAP or some other randoms may "pop" in.
Most people are okay with this. I will gladly do it for people if they ask nicely. Giving them some Loot is a good way to break the ice!

Well, so what.
The players who take over servers are the people who already do so by spawnkilling ships until someone quits and then convincing the rest to invite one them to take the ship.
They can also leave the session, Their fault to let toxicity win.
Having a real option would likely help people who dont have that level of skill/patience/willingness to actually play as a pirate who dosnt care so much for others intentions.
No way, Those server overtakers are just toxic players, there is no reason to make this a real option. My 2 cts.
