One thing that really annoys me is when there are some servers that aren't full and the game decides to merge them together. My stuff just gets transfered to another server then and everything thats not on my ship is gone. Today i was doing the new haunted shores event. I was battling the last wave and stored all the loot i got so far on the island. Then the server merged and all was gone. No event anymore no loot anymore nothing. For a solo slooper this is even more a pain bcs doing an event like this needs way more time and a lucky window.
So pls rework that procedure and better fill empty servers with new players than merge them to full servers -.-
No server transfer pls
@captain-coel could be any number of reasons I suppose. If I was solo slooping I’d do it in fear of sinking when trialing this new event. Got the meg and skeleton ship today while doing it. I survived but I really shouldn’t have haha
@sirstoertebeker server merging is needed to maintain numbers.
Otherwise you could stay in a server indefinitely waiting for the others to leave, then farm without pirate threat.It can be annoying at times but its needed.
Its better than the alternative.Well i stored the loot on the island to be sure i wont lose it in case another pirate ship appears and i lose the fight or i screw up battling the AI ships :-D Its just annoying this server merge happens without any warning. Guild wars 2 for example has a pretty decent system there. The server warns you that there are not enough players on that realm and gives you a button to transfer to a more vital server. That way it cant happen that you are just fighting a world event for example and it disappears. Sea of thieves could maybe do something like this with a time limit. A warning from the server that it will be closed in like 15 minutes and the players will be transfered. That way everyone can prepare themself.

Everything near the island! Just the ghost, that tell you where it is disappear
Here’s a tip bud... keep the loot on your boat.. that way if a other ship is coming at you, you can you know... run or alliance maybe.. I don’t think sea of thieves has that many players constantly loging in for the servers to be able to fill up with new players... the point of the game is to be a pirate.. adventure and explore and get treasure while also keeping eyes on the horizon for oncoming enemies! It would be super unfair and kinda be pointless for a crew to sit on a empty server with no more world events and or ships on it.. to grind out as much loot as they want with no repercussions.. that just not how a pirate game should work and it’s never gonna work like that either.. I do agree there could be a change to the merging system allowing loot that has either been touched and or completed by any event to have a timer before vanishing.. they do indeed have a range on the boat that as long as loot is in that range it won’t vanish to Davy Jones locker! Other then that... good luck on the seas mate!
