Play with more than 4 people using two boats

    A proposed update that would appeal to many players... The ability, within a guild, to easily launch, for example, two galleons on the same server.

    Having a guild with many players but not being able to play together is very frustrating... I understand that an unfortunate sloop finding itself facing two galleons from the same guild wouldn't be very pleasant... but in that case, perhaps we could imagine a setting to enable/disable in the preferences to allow or disabling the search for multi-ship servers.

    Or, players who want to play with multiple ships could create a private server, exclusively for PvE, in a calm seas style, but with a classic emissary progression system. Or, players could be allowed to purchase a private high seas server at a very low cost.

    This should not happen on regular Adventure servers. It would be very unfair for the other crews on the server - not just the (solo) sloop.

    They've been talking about Custom Servers which include setting up a server with friends, I assume also people from a guild.

    If it were possible to enable or disable this feature when searching for servers, there would be no fairness issues, as players who don't want to be matched with a server simply wouldn't be.

    While custom servers are a solution, they offer very limited gold and reputation rewards, which is quite unfair when you just want to play with all your friends.

    So how many sloop crews do you think would willingly want to join a server where they'll know they'll be up against at least 8 people on 2 galleons with 3 other sloop crews (or 2 sloops and a brigantine).

    9 out of 10 times it will be just the two galleons on a server, perhaps joined by other ships part of their guild (or other friends).

    IMHO not worth the effort of development.

    I don't think a single guild would be interested in this type of server. Two galleons of 8 players will find themselves facing other alliances doing the same thing, or other solo crews chasing incredible achievements, for example.

    Well this feature is in talks for multiple ships. Think it’s a paid feature and also part of the SS server, so with some mild restrictions

    Only because you should play SS with family, don’t care about the game, or just want to learn the lore.

    Where is the logic in someone playing Safer Seas (playing the game) means they don't care about the game?

    Make it like CoD. All team people get put on team servers with other team guys

    People would just opt out of that server then, leaving it dead.
    At this point I have to ask, why don't you just server spike to begin with?
    Yeah it takes time to setup, But a lot ''healthier'' to the game than wasting dev time implementing something that they should of done years ago.
