tldr: Add the Sea Dogs Tavern interior as a personal hideout with full customization
Since Arena closed, I've seen plenty of players express wanting to reenter the tavern interior. However, since the interior is bigger than the outside, that isn't possible within the main game world. Suddenly, at 3am, I figured out a potential solution.
The summary is that after reaching a certain threshold within captaincy, you'll be allowed to meet Ramsey or Lesedi to buy the keys to the tavern. The interior will be a players personal server room; a decent comparison would be an Online Session in Monster Hunter World. Once inside, Dimitri the Big Dog will give you an introduction of what features you'll have for decoration. These range from hanging banners, different floor types, paintings and murals, weaponry, clothing, ship parts, even equipment. Since the stores are no longer inside as well, players can also change those spaces to be any furnishing we want. A kitchen, an alcohol storage, a bedroom, anything you own can be used to make your new space, you!
Players will be able to fully embrace themselves as what type of pirate they are. Gold Hoarder incarnate? You can get the coin as a floor insignia and a vault to replace that broken door. Reaper cultist? Build your own shrine to the flame that lets everyone know just how much you hate those pesky companies. Athena loyalist? Build the most famous tavern in the sea. Players can also hand in treasure to Dimitri outside of the tavern to also use as decorations (or tie those to new commendations since that may be tricky). Lastly, players will be able to invite their friends (or enemies) into their hideout to hang out, or play dice/card games (also like Monster Hunter somewhat).
