Coordinated Search for the Pirate Legends Tavern

So far, this is what i think is going on, And how i think we need to go about looking for the Tavern.

1. I think it's all about how we look at it, idk who said it, but the whole "we probably go to it a lot" has a lot of promise to me. if the Devs are surprised we didn't find this, then it's safe to say it's because they've probably seen us AROUND it, or simply assumed it was obvious enough that we would indeed stumble upon it. I can't say if they've removed anything since the beta, so if the tavern is still here in this scale test or not, I don't know.
2. The Goonies references MUST be it, with them all being forced to watch the Goonies, the Dev wearing the shirt and making constant References, They must of used one of them somewhere, maybe not the Tavern, but seems likely it is.
3. I do not think we can Access it, but if they're surprised we couldn't find a tavern hidden inside a rock that we can't even open, then that wouldn't make a whole lot of sense. if they're surprised it's more than likely due to the fact that WHEN we find it, we'll know for sure it's what it is. maybe we can see the ghost, but cant get to them? or see the ship and tavern from outside, but can't go inside?
4. this is my biggest point that i think will help the most. In Sea Of Thieves, there's a lot of attention to detail, the skeletons that are Easter eggs from the alpha, to the small skulls that were a part of the Games com event, they wouldn't slack now. My guess, is that the Tavern is in the Ancient isles, Why you ask? Because of the Water. In the top left, the Shores of Plenty, the water is Beautiful, vibrant blue, and bright. In the Wilds the waters are murky, and greenish tint, with little visibility in the water. And finally, Ancient Isles, Where the water is Dark blue, Similar to the Pirate Tavern Gif that was recently posted earlier in the Thread. plus the nail in the coffin, This quote from the wiki about the Ancient Isles,
   "The Sea of Thieves developers have stated that this region's feel was inspired by the Indiana Jones film franchise, in terms of adventure, exploring ancient ruins, and solving their mysteries; along with old swashbuckling adventure stories and pirate legends." PIRATE LEGENDS.
   I don't know about you, just trying to do my part in the ole' Sea Of Thieves Community, Let me know what you think! Obviously i could be HORRIBLY wrong, and i could already stated something stupid that's not right, But if i did feel free to correct me!
   Have fun on the High Seas!

My theory the hideout will not be near the physical exit therefore entrance could be few blocks to opposite side of map then the exit I feel will be a known island

@ghostpaw ha detto in Coordinated Search for the Pirate Legends Tavern:

Was at Sailor's Bounty earlier and thought back to this thread. It really does feel like that it could be an excellent location for this.

Meh that island has barely anything at all.

Devil's Ridge and Plunder however, are both great possibilites.
I've joined in the search for fun just for the last few hours of the final beta I could play, I think the search is fun but it's too desperate and we should probably wait a bit more before even searching.

Devil's Ridge is filled with b***y traps skeletons and the tunnel leads to an interesting room.

Plunder has this "batcave" (I'm sure I've seen the bats somewhere else too. But the island is interesting and it has an interrupted stone staircase.

And this skull in the batcave. (I'm aware there's more skulls like this in the world but that doesn't mean they mean nothing)

@ghostpaw To be fair it was the last one on the list and I had a guy on me for 20-30 min of it so I couldn't explore too much of it.

Anyway, my guess is still Thieves Haven.

My speculation, after reading all the failed attempts, is simply that no one can or has access to the edges of the map as our ships will sink there. What if its simply an island we have yet to encounter as our map knowledge is limited.

Thanks goes to the board game Tsuro of the seas... Where each player enters the grid from a spot along the edge of the map...
