I have more than 3 other friends that play sea of thieves and would love for us to play more easily together in an alliance. All I ask is have an option to manually choose which server to join.
Server selection
@red-tee-cult This would break the game because it would make it even easy to setup alliance servers and to do a server take over. Edit: Also welcome to the forums happy first post.

How would it "break the game"? So what if a group wanted to set up a server alliance? So what if a group wanted to take over a server? How do either of those things "break the game"?
Perhaps you haven't noticed - routinely groups try to take over servers for many purposes - to take down the Fort Of The Damned, for instance. The only difference being those server take overs are usually random, where all (or almost all) of the ships on a server band together for a common purpose. Wouldn't it be nice if you and your friends could do it intentionally?
@red-tee-cult As honourable as your intentions are to have a mass hang out with your buds.
It would also enable you to set up a farming server.
That would go against the game kinda.
I understand that it would allow for easier server take overs, personally I don’t see the problem with that. Server take overs can be extremely fun. One benefit is server selection can allow for player feet battles. Two large server wide alliances duking it out. Even just a server with 3 or 4 alliances is more fun than rarely seeing an alliance at all. By all means keep the quick match making, I just want an additional option to server select.

Maybe this is something for a private server but it would be sketchy in adventure mode.
I could get my buds to farm the server in a giant alliance and get insane xp and loot without much effort.
Or worse...
I could fill a server up with all my buds leaving 1 space left for a random ship. Then we could just relentlessly hunt them alliance vs 1 ship over and over til they rage quit.
Its two possible outcomes and it would suck.
Plus side i suppose is clans could be formed but it wouldnt be fun for anyone who isnt in the 'clan'.
Perhaps when private serverw come you could just sail together and hang out. They'll be no progression but you wont be there for that.
