Sailed as far as I could off the map (full speed and repairing). Very dissapointed. What I should have found:

    So if you keep repairing your ship and just keep going farther and farther into the red sea, you eventually just get suddenly/instantly re-spawned with a new ship back on the map, without dying or your old ship sinking.

    This is extremely disappointing Rare.
    This is a fantasy pirate game.
    If I can sail far enough into the red sea, I should quit literally find the edge of the world, and sail right off, falling to my death.
    One could also argue that this is where the Ferry of Damned ought to be found.

    Normally what happens is when your on your old ship is that it will suddenly come to a stop at the edge and just start sinking...

    The ferry of the dammed can be found deep down in the sea in the centre of the map!

    the comics show that there is no edge of the world but rather 'the world'. O_O
    the sea of thieves is surrounded by the devils shroud a supposedly lethal fog that is only passable through if you know the way. It is not implemented that way in the game but i guess that is due to technical limitations. but beyond the devils shroud lies the real world, so actually the sea of thieves is the secluded, cut off part of the ocean where pirates battle for riches and glory ;)

    @the-song42 Would be more realistic if you survived far enough out in the red sea you end up on the other side of the map, as if you sail straight east suddenly you end up on the western edge sailing into the map.

    But the age of pirates was the age of a flat world. People literally believed you would sail right off the edge.

    @chud-stuffens
    Not meaning to be a d-bag, but the world was first circumnavigated in 1519-22 by the Spanish ship Victoria. So by the golden age of sail they'd figured out it wasn't flat. Sorry, I just like history.

  • RK1 Turbulence

    I'd rather have it just generate more red sea until you sink no matter how far you get, right now I feel it's too narrow. I've even swum across it.

    A galleon took off with the stronghold key and threatened to sink it in the red sea, so after they sunk I went to look for it while the rest of the crew went back. XD

    @noob-smoke95 Halt with thour herecy! Whilst the flotilla was indeed spanish the mastermind and master and commander of this gloruous voyage was Magallean a Portuguese Sailor (he only died a few miles before the end).

    Who would have thought a Canadian would do it solo in 1894-98. I find it so impressive to do that back then in comparison to doing it now. Must've been one salty sea dog.

  • DustlessBoot

    @noob-smoke95 canadians have strong origins! As the Canada History musem itself acknowledges the first foreign settlements where Portuguese Cod Fishers, im sure that some of that saly sea dog blood native to all Portuguese must have spilled over :D

    @coyote4711 the lore book strongly implies this as well, that there's some sort of ritual that takes place to get there.

    Between that and the Ferry of the Damned, and the fact that the pirates in SoT are aware that they cannot die permanently it makes me wonder if SoT might be some sort of limbo or even hell itself and all of the pirates there are already dead, just retaining enough of their humanity to continue as normal until they eventually become cursed and turn into skeleton crews.

    Also digging into the lore of the Order of Souls, they send you to kill skeletons that "they no longer have a use for" which implies that they once did have a use for them. So perhaps the OoS are more connected to the existance of the Sea of Thieves than we yet know.

    It would be pretty cool (and terrifying) to sail off the edge of the map. However, respawning after you sail for too long is fine. The devs have a lot more things to consider with "improving the game." I'm sure the "end of the map" is not their biggest priority...

    The red sea is cool.. But i was actually expecting there to be an edge and that you would fall once you reached the end of the map. Would have been so awesome xD

    @dustlessboot Too much pride for one's country only makes it so you disrespect all the rest, or even hate them.
    Specially when talking about being superior.
    Don't have to go back too far in history to find another guy who was like that.. =þ
    Have a little pride, but never feel superior.

    Haha i belive i spoted land in the red sea.
    Am prety sure where it is ofc may be wrong, but hard to mistake.

    Funny how the gob'ment was able to trick compasses into flipping directions once they've sailed far enough in one direction.

    @the-song42 I'd really like to see secret islands in the red sea. If you can survive long enough and sail far enough into it, you get to 'the eye of the storm' if you will, a spot where you stop taking damage.

    @face-0-o lol.. naw if you listen to the flat earthers.. that is because the magnetic pull of the edge of the “dome” is stronger on the far edges of the map then from the north pole.. so that the compasses get attracted to the edge of the world, not the northern pole/middle of the map.

    It is actually very entertaining to see how the flat earthers try to re-explain some widely accepted theories on how the universe works.
