PVE only servers

We're gonna stop right here buddy. The Devs have already made their stance on stuff like this.

Enough said.

No one else will tell you this but, there’s this fun thing rare secretly added into the game. You no longer need to spend hours collecting loot and have it stolen by a toxic crew. Now you need to follow exactly what I say otherwise something will get messed up and you’ll need to restart everything. So for step one, travel to k9 and find the hidden skeleton throne. After sitting on the throne travel in a directly straight line to galleons grave outpost to cue the next step. Go straight onto the pirate legend hideout, speak to the pirate lord, then go straight back out. For step four sail to dagger tooth outpost and purchase all the weapons and clothing items from any set. Next sail down to golden sands and buy all the equipment items from that same set. Next for the hardest step Sail to k9 and on the way do a perfect circle around canon cove without touching the steering wheel. After this park at k9 and sit on the throne again. Finally a portal will open at one of the portal rocks and you’ll be able to sail through into your own private server where you can stack for hours without a threat. You probably stopped believing me, but at least I wasted a couple minutes of your time reading this.

Now that that's been said, they’re not going to remove PvP no matter how many people want it gone. It’s always been a PvPvE game and will always remain so.

I'd love them

I guess the real question would be: if Rare added them, would it still do anything to convince players to play SoT over other games?

Especially if those games just released big updates (i.e. GTA Online, etc.)
