Arrr, fellow pirates!
Today I'll talk about the mightiest of all weapons in Sea of Thieves: Trust!
Prologue
Back in the Technical Alpha, when I approached the Sea of Thieves, I played with some of my closest friends. We were not enough to fill out our own Galleon, so we always had one to two sailors on a voyage of their own. My friends didn't make it into release, but for me: Sea of Thieves is my most favorite game of all time! And they escorted me long enough to find like minded pirates. Some of those left, many joined.
The Tale
Today, I am part of an fantastic community, enabled by Rare and SoT's crossplay feature and growing by the day. Trust is key for the most enjoyable adventures ever experienced in a videogame.
Just two days ago, I was sailing with a friend on a Sloop and we almost sunk a Sloop approaching to us, because of caution. But this Sloop didn't give up. They wanted to gift us a skull. We still had no reason to trust them, we got tricked before, because of trusting strangers.
But after we settled all hostility, we made a fort together. We defended ourselves against random Thieves and split the Loot without any problems. After that, we started a Galleon together and as more of our community joined us, we bought another Sloop to find space for them. Today, the two people we almost sunk, are appreciated crewmates in our fleet.
And it's not just them. Ships like The Serenity, The Drunken Molly and The Fortune Slave are sailing together, because of Trust.
Epilogue
Ya, Trust is truly the mightiest weapon in Sea of Thieves and with the upcoming Alliance-System it becomes more and more important. Make friends but be aware of foes!
Thank you for reading and fair seas!
