https://www.seaofthieves.com/forum/topic/59176/sea-of-thieves-server-instability-updates-may-16th
"We have now completed our emergency maintenance and the game is back online. The previously mentioned features have been turned off temporarily and we will continue to monitor game performance. We will assess the situation in the morning to put together a plan on bringing those features back into the game. Thanks for your patience."
If you're encountering errors of any kind in game, please send a report via Support to let the devs know whether there are still issues being encountered.
Also from the crews mega thread -
Due to a high volume of AlmondBeard errors, we have temporarily removed the Open/Closed Crews feature as well as the invisible underwater gamer tags, and give/take feature while we investigate the cause. We’ll be meeting first thing tomorrow to further assess the situation and work out a plan for reinstating these features. We understand the frustration this has caused, and will keep the community up to date with more information as we have it.
Please use the mega thread to discuss the maintenance issues today, as well as the resulting temporary removal of the new features.

Morning pirates. We're still working on fully resolving the issues currently affecting #SeaOfThieves. The game is still experiencing server instability and players may experience issues. More updates to follow. Thanks for your patience!

We've issued a fix to the game which is now gradually decreasing the chance that you will be disconnected from a server - this will take a few hours to fully take effect.
— Sea of Thieves (@SeaOfThieves) May 16, 2018However, on servers where this fix is available there will be fewer washed up items appearing on beaches in the game. We are still reviewing bringing back the new features and will have an update Thursday morning (UK time) on this.
— Sea of Thieves (@SeaOfThieves) May 16, 2018@eredhar I'll keep an eye on twitter and such and if I see anything else I'll add it in here... this isn't a situation anyone wants.
@katttruewalker It isn't, but it is what it is. Problems occurred, like it or not. BUT, what matters is that Rare is all over the situation, working on getting it fixed.
@KattTruewalker Have done so. Hopefully they read/respond to it quickly as I put it under general inquiry

Yeah they wanted to include that sentence to the message, but it caused more crashes so had to be rolled back as well.
