It would be great if the player cap for each server would increase. right now you feel so alone in this butifull world they have created with you only seeing a ship now and then. Pvp is such a great aspect of the game and can be really fun but right now it feels as there just is none.
Server size
imo it crowds the space and people will do less which circulates less loot
it'll be fine for the people that wanna interact more and fight more but I don't find it a healthy option for the overall environment
I think it's important to prioritize the fact this is a game for all different play types and with the current map size this leans too much towards certain play style and against others
I think overall this is one of the many reasons server hopping without penalty should always remain as it allows people to find the type of server they are more interested in without pushing the entire player base into situations they should be at risk of but not forced into
I can guarantee you the ships are out there, you just need to look harder. I regularly like to sail directly across the map and count ships, just to get a sense of the server. I always find multiple player ships. Some are harder to spot than others, you just need to develop your "sloop eyes", as I heard a fellow solo slooper call it.
