My name is BigTom32334, and I wanted to share what Arena mode means to me.
My brother, SpazMonkey28, has been playing Sea of Thieves since around COVID. I grew up watching him sail, fight, and explore the seas, and Sea of Thieves has honestly been part of my life for as long as I can remember. It’s a game I’ve always known and always loved.
One of my favorite memories from growing up is playing Arena mode back in fifth grade. The excitement, the competition, and especially playing Sea of Thieves with my friends are memories I know I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life. Arena felt special — fast-paced, skill-based, and unlike anything else in the game.
Now I’m on the road to becoming a Pirate Legend, and I still really miss Arena. I understand why it was removed, but I truly believe it meant a lot to players who grew up with the game and loved its PvP side.
Even if Arena returned in a reworked form or as a limited-time mode, I know there are players who would be excited to jump back in. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you for creating a game that has been such a meaningful part of my life.
Fair winds and following seas,
BigTom32334
