Soooo i saw some insiders about private servers and alot of different topics about how it should work and i wanted to throw my hat into it for starters idm the pay a subscription for a private server so long as im actually getting benefits from it i feel like if we have to pay for it it shouldnt just be we get nothing out of it (and yeah people can argue you can make custom world events and edit things at that point thats more of a base lime thing for something like this) but i also agree we shouldnt be given something that inherently makes it super free for us to do things so heres my two scents set 2 modes for it full custom Wich essentially means you can alter and change the world as you like amd let that be set to no gold rep or progress gain cause at that point your just there for the funs and then have a default mode wich means everything stays exactly the same as high seas with the only difference being you cannot dive and only friends who have your server code can join this makes it so you have to travel around (or simply make a dive that doesnt send you to a new server but frankly i feel like vereeans will love the no dive) and the only people youll face is your friends wich gets rid of toxic players and hackers and allow you to progress to keep it fair tho have the progressions either cap at 100 or 50 that way for the bigger stuff you still need high seas but for pirate legend its still doable allow emissarys as well so we can keep up with such things as for stuff like hourglass id say maybe turn it off to avoid hour glass cheesing thats a pure pvp thing and i feel like it can respectfully stay in high seas along with all that allow for commendation progressions and gold this makes it so buying your own server means you and people you actually wanna play with can enjoy the game without having yo deal with toxic people and got plenty of rep to climb up to and can more easily get commendations for players who naturally suck at pvp for example i actually had multiple friends play sot with me we loved the game at first but when we tried to actually get commendations or do the more fun options we typically got pelted with toxic players or hackers wich eventually made my friends quite because we all arent insanely good with pvp so this way theres a way for pvp players to get what they want and pve players or relaxed players to get what they want everyones happy that way
Thoughts for private servers
im confused by this post are you asking for all this to be in custom servers or thinking this is how custom servers will work??? when custom servers drop there will be no progressing for gold/reparation/emissarys/achievements/commendations. anyway my own take on custom servers are ..Its way to late i have maybe 3 people on my friends list that still play sot now !!custom servers is great if your a content creator or big discord groups looking to do like arena style games.. tdm fights ect. custom servers are Pointless for the average joe i would say???
@monsterwolf112 I'm very confused on your post and you must not watch or pay attention to the developer updates/ videos. Custom Seas will be FREE to everyone. You get to make the game mode anything you want for the day. You can host competitions and build Arena and enjoy the hot tub from there. You get no gold or rep it's just for fun. You can host up to 24 people on your personal server by inviting them or giving them a code to input. You can even watch people stream live when we get more testing on insiders or watch videos already made on YouTube of what has already been done so far if you want to see what is coming with them.

This is neither individually a PvP or PvE game. The design of the game was for both in one space, sometimes even at the same time. If you want a more relaxing Co-op PvE experience, Windrose is coming a short time down the line and accomplishes that amazingly. Sea of Thieves may simply just not be the game you’re looking for and attacking players for any reason at all, even the love of the game isn’t “toxic” (unless I’m misunderstanding this post severely). It’s the actions or statements they make that are (ex death threats, slurs, and general belittling or demeaning comments)
Can't wait for Windrose; like Skull and Bones, it should give what some of these players desire. Not every game is built for everyone; it is created for some who actually enjoy it.
Nobody likes Halo, but they enjoyed Titanfall. People hate CoD, but they play Battlefield.
Same with TF2, Overwatch, and Marvel Rivals. Games have features that make them stand out, and if you dislike something, don't play it. Trying to change a game others enjoy when there are other games that offer those features already is just silly.
