Bring back 6 ships on the servers!!!

4 real, 5 ships its too small
as for me, i would like to see 8-10 ships will be perfect 4 fights and for really hard pirate life
Also seas musnt be so empty

A lot of players server hop as well.
I don’t mind they do it...I don’t like being on a certain outpost when I have something in mind I want to do and have to sail 10 minutes to get there.

Some players are looking for certain targets in a server. If they don’t see what they want to do they leave causing server merge sooner than later.

@grayur

If Rare can increase number of ships atleast to 8, they already have 2 more outposts. The middle one in L12 with "Sea Dogs" and Morrow's peak Outpost.

The developers have talked about why they want to maintain 6 ships per server. It's because ships take up the most amount of memory in the game. Since this is the case they want to keep a maximum of 6 ships a server, because any more and they could have some ping problems.

I think it would be nice to have more than 6 ships in a server, but there is just not enough memory in the server in order to enable that without some problems.

@kaijoi And people would get real mad with the extra threats on the seas.

8-10 Ships would be the perfect amount. I really hope they can work on increasing the server memory.

This is what they said about shanties, and they managed to add more! I'm still holding out hope.

@mferr11
I don't doubt shanties hold a lot of memory. I remember watching a developer update where they specifically said, "We don't want to add more ships because currently ships take up the most memory in the game. If we added more it would cause the game to lag, and have more ping problems

Paraphrasing there, but it was somewhere around those lines. I hope they will have more memory as well.

I thought shanties was because of the recording, each one needs to be recorded 3 times per instrument. normal, drunk, and underwater so thats 12 recordings per shanty.
