A safer Sea of Thieves

    I think many players would like to see the Safer Seas becoming the Sea of Thieves REAL solo/friend mode.
    I read so many comments and suggests about pirates (not only new, but also OG) who don't want to play on higher seas anymore. I don't need to explain why, we all know what the game has become.
    Many of us still love the game, the lore, the uniques mechanics... It would be great to let us play with our friends and only our friends on the "complete" game.
    And I really don't think this would kill Higher seas. If the competitive and PvP pirates are not interested, they'll just keep the higher seas alive.
    Saying the opposite is admitting that competitive in Sea of Thieves is about giving the PvP players the targets they need to enjoy their game no matters what the targets think. The same situation we can see on PTW mobile games.. This, is not about fun or glory it's about gold.

    Let the players who helped to make SoT so legendary enjoy the game again, and also the new players who want to discover what the best parts of the game are, with no forced multiplayer.
    I had a lot of fun playing with any kind of pirates during the past years but it's not that thing anymore, and I don't think it could come back.

    The game design and intent for Sea of Thieves is a shared world adventure, and it always will be. Those who wish to play in the confines of Safer Seas will always have the option but we will not bring the rewards and activities in line with those of High Seas when many of the restrictions are in place due to the risk vs reward factor that is inherent in Sea of Thieves - removing any risk means rewards must be balanced accordingly.

    Safer Seas will act not only as a safe space for our Tall Tale players but also for families with children who just want to pirate, for people who want to play the game but learn the ropes and it will organically feed into Adventure mode, keeping the player pool there healthy and upskilled as they've learned the mechanics.

    This is not only useful for new players but also families and players with accessibility needs - the whole game suddenly becomes available in a way it hasn't before, letting them naturally progress to High Seas and become a Pirate Legend. SoT has grown a huge amount in 5 years and it can be fairly overwhelming.

    The borders put in Safer Seas mean that to experience the full depth and breadth of the game you will have to hit the high seas BUT if you're playing with your family you don't have to, you can just enjoy the game and have fun as a family.
