I MADE IT!
So it took me seven months, a lot of time in different crews, one main crew who have slowed down recently and of course, the boatswain crew, who are hands down, some of the finest Pirates you are likely to sail with if you ever get the chance.
I won’t go into all of the details of how I made it, but I was ready for the next challenge and Duke was involved – some will not like that, some will, but it worked for me and it’s a mechanic that I am pleased Rare put in.
Now for the crux of the matter – retention of a player
This game has held me like NOTHING else before it. I do not play games for long at all – I play them for a few weeks, maybe a month, rinse them and then I’m done.
I played Sea of Thieves every week, as my main, if not ONLY game, since day one!
That is testament to the game that Rare have built, that is testament to the majority of players you find out there on the sea, that is also testament to updates and improvements that we have constantly seen since launch. I have made true friends from this game, people I speak to daily, people who I share my life with and they theirs with me – the comradery is amazing!
I tried to hit Legend and spend my first hours in a decent, upstanding Bosun way, so I dropped into a random game, saw a few Pirates working hard together, then dropped then an Athena and went on my way after ringing all the islands for them.
I am not done with this game – I can now enjoy what my crew want to do without thinking “I’d really like to get some more Merchant done”. No, now I can just sail and earn loot to buy those nice shiny Legendary cosmetics!
Thanks
