FREE SERVER IDEA: You can have a nice private server to get into shenanigans with your priate buddies right, the world has a lot of extra PvE enemy spawns, more ships, more sharks maybe, all of that to fill the world out etc. The XP and money gains are reduced by a good chunk, say by 50% or 75% so it takes a lot longer than normal to progress normally and so on.
PAID SERVER IDEA: All the previous before, However the paid server's XP gains aren't as drastically reduced, however they still aren't maxed out as if they would be in a normal world server. The gains are maybe about 30%-40%-50% reduced whatever seems appropriate. You can go on adventures and have a good ol' time drinking grog, throwing up in buckets, screaming when you get krakened and all other goodies that are featured in the game.
I personally know at least 20 people who have asked for these specifically and I know all of us would be more than willing to pay for a private server service, and I have heard this from random crewmates time and time again since I have been playing which was from beta.
