Well , here are we now. The best DLC ever has started but the players are already gone since weeks and they don't come back. And why is some part of the DLC now a time limited event ? This DLC shouldn't be treated like the weekly events before.
Cursed Sails is a nice DLC but is should be in the game from the start because now it's too late .. servers are empty.
People arnt gone. I just played with an alliance of four ships and 13 people teople. Also Sea of thieves community, the biggest sea of Theieves group on Facebook has north of 16 thousand people and is very active. Sometimes it's it's a crapshoot on servers. You might see four or five ships or you might see none.
Ahoy there, I beg to disagree with you after reading a few articles quoting Joe -
Rare confirms Sea of Thieves has had over 5 million playersJoe Neate, executive producer at Rare, wrote in the post; “Being able to share that we’ve welcomed more than five million players to Sea of Thieves since launch is both inspiring and humbling… Seeing our creative community embrace the possibilities that Sea of Thieves presents is an inspiration to everyone at the studio, and on behalf of us all at Rare, I’d like to thank everyone who’s been a part of this amazing adventure.”
It isn’t specified exactly when the 5 million figure was reached, but it was back in March – not long after the game released – that Sea of Thieves broke the 2 million player barrier. It looks like the strategy of adding Microsoft’s exclusive titles to the £8 a month Xbox Game Pass has been a solid decision.
Rare have also said that new features and mechanics will be showcased via campaigns and events like this in order to bring them to players as one whole rather than dribble in little bits of content over time, which they're also doing in any case via the Bilge Rat adventures. The commendations etc will still be available after Bilge Rate adventures and the clothing sets are likely to make a reappearance for those pirates who were unable to acquire them.
Personally I'm really enjoying this approach, it's a refreshing change from other games where you can wait months for new content or even patches sometimes and whilst no one would argue that the game needed a heap of content, I believe Rare are on it.

There a single Persons on Facebook they have hundred thousands followers... and there are other game communitys with the same amount on followers . So i can't be happy that the biggest Sea of thieves Facebook Community only have 16.000 active Members.Sorry but that is nothing compared to other communitys.
@katttruewalker I don't mean to be the negative nancy here, but the game is on the pass, right? The Trial allows free play for 14 days, so hitting a 5 million milestone for a F2P game isn't an accomplishment. Getting the players to stay after that 14 days is up however, is. RARE won't release the info of current playerbase or overall sales as it isn't any of the consumer's concerns. However, the word concern is still used quite broadly when talking about it.
@durengo-germany it's not about being numbers one. Just saying there are lots of people in the group.

And the mission for the dlc is time limited to a week but takes like an hour to complete. Next week a new mission will be up.
I know. That means if you don't make the missions this week then you cant make them the next week because they get replaced from new missions. So you lost the mission rewards from the missions they have to be done this week.

I know but they are not on the game servers. That's the problem.
Do you want to rly know the problem??? Il explane it to you.
When CS was droped did you notis that we culd not join?? Well they opend up new servers to support the mass load of people that came, and now when people get tierd of it and go into the shadows again and do diff stuff, then we have to Manny servers open (so thats Why i seems to be shallow)
But Im on pc and can see the server ping, so i jump around the servers untill i find a better ping with people :)
The figures don't include game pass, or at least the 2 million definitely didn't. If the OP is encountering empty servers then this is a server merge issue and would need a ticket via Support.
@disabledgamerJH You're right, the quest is fairly short and easy to accomplish, the commendations for the battles are taking me quite a while though, but these will still be achievable during the next two weeks for the most part. The quest should also still be available as far as I know.
@DutchYankee I think this has been taken from this Xbox article which doesn't differentiate -
With today’s launch of Cursed Sails, we’re excited to share with you that our community has reached a new milestone of five million pirates that have played Sea of Thieves thus far on Xbox One and Windows 10 PC.

Ahoy there, I beg to disagree with you after reading a few articles quoting Joe -
Rare confirms Sea of Thieves has had over 5 million playersNo one denies that Sea of Thieves HAS HAD over 5 million players at the start of the game.... But we talk about today and not about yesterday! And today , if i look at the game servers ... it looks like that 4 million players are gone. And we are just at the start of the DLC Summer... the next big DLC is to come soon..
@durengo-germany No.. it was 2 million at the start and recently announced that 5 million have now played since release.
There aren't specific figures about who is playing when or whatever, but as I mentioned above, those playing should not be encountering empty servers because of the way in which server merging is handled. Even if there were only 15 players playing, you should be on a server with other ships.
If you are, then I'd very much recommend submitting a ticket via Support.
Read the headline of your article link again...
"Has had" is not the same as "currently has". And that what joe nate said about the 5 million players , that is that what he said months ago. This Article just repeated now his words , that's all. He said in MAy 2018 already that the game has at this time 5 million players, May is over !
You may deny it but the game lost the highest amount of active gamers already and the proof for that are the empty servers no matter about what joe nate said in the past or will say now or in the future.
@durengo-germany The 5 million player announcement was made on 1st August, so presumable the number was reached during late July?
Just after launch the number was announced as 2 million not including game pass players.
@katttruewalker Thank you katt for explaining the merge (because with a working merge) we would never have these diskussions.

@durengo-germany The 5 million player announcement was made on 1st August, so presumable the number was reached during late July?
The Article which you gaved me the link for was written on 1. st August. This Article isn't a current and new Interview with joe nate .. it is only a article about the game and about what joe nate said in May 2018 about the 5 million sea of thieves players. But May is over since months and things changed. And because of that is the headline of the article: "Has HAD" 5 million players instead of "HAS" 5 million players.
@katttruewalker That doesn't make any sense though?
SoT lost half its playerbase around the same time as the 2 million announcement and half of the playerbase was the freepass. How many more do you think are the free pass? What marketing are they spouting that you believe is pulling in players to this day and spending that 60 dollar price tag for an unfinished game? O.o.
@durengo-germany https://www.seaofthieves.com/forum/topic/68661/how-ai-ships-should-be-implemented-into-the-game/2
I don't believe Cursed sails should have been in the game from the start, the link above will take you to one of my posts thats states how I think it should be implemented into the game@durengo-germany I'm confuzzled, maybe you're seeing a cached version of the page? I'm looking and i see the two dates as 31st July and 1st August...
Here's a twitter post as well, dated 1st August, the 5 million was only recently announced.
@AlzHeimeerS Yes, it was described in a couple of places just after release and you should see a riddle appear on the screen while this merge is happening, so definitely something up with empty servers being encountered.
I really didn't see where the misunderstanding is..... i can still write a article today with the date from today but i can use into the article phrases from you that you maked years before.
It doesn't matter if the Article which you gaved me the link for is from the 1 st august or from the 31 July.... Joe nates Phrase that Sea of thieves has 5 million players is a phrase he maked in May 2018. You can repeat this phrase every day again but it isn't new .. it isn't about the current state of the game... it is about the state of the game in May 2018.
Did you write this twitter Message by yourself ? Then change it because the message isn't true.
@durengo-germany I wish I had that power, but no, I'm only a Deckhand and I'm going by the information I've read recently which was released by Xbox and RareLtd. I don't recall the phrase being used in May, but I could be wrong, it's been known :)
@durengo-germany Ahoy matey!
Whats wrong with the Twitter message?
Nowhere in the tweet does it say the game has 5 million active players, maybe you're reading too much into the tweet?
If a supermarket has welcomed its 5 millionth customer... and they have a celebration they are allowed to say they've had 5 million customers... they don't have to say 3 because there's currently only 3 in the store??
Cursed Sails is a nice DLC but is should be in the game from the start because now it's too late .. servers are empty.
You know that servers are spun up (and occasionally merged) to meet demand, don't you? There is a maximum of something like 24 persons per server, maximum, spread across whatever ships they choose.
You simply cannot measure the success or popularity of the game based on your personal observation of how busy a server seems to you. At any given moment, there are likely hundreds of server instances with thousands of pirates.
@katttruewalker Yeah thats Why we have these diskussions, Well i raised a supportticket (and shuld have Done this 2 month ago) because this problem started befor THD, so we need to fix this so we never feel alone on a server (for me this is the biggest problem in the game)
In May 2018 Joe said 4 million gamers played SoT iirc. 5 million is a recent number and quite an impressive one I'd say.
On topic, I think players are still there but server merging isn't working properly since update. Literally two days before Cursed Sails there was ships everywhere any given time of day. It would make zero sense this dlc made everyone stop playing lol.

@durengo-germany Ahoy matey!
Whats wrong with the Twitter message?
Are you serious ? This whole twitter message is fake news... the message of this tweet is that sea of thieves has 5 million active players today .. and to proof this there is a link to a phrase from joe nate that he maked in may 2018. Did we have actually may 2018 ?
Yes , in may did the game had 5 million players.... You may live in the past and in the may ... i live today in august 2018.
The next one here wanna tell me that the game star wars galaxies has today 10 million players because it has so much in the past....no matter that the game didn't exist today any longer because the servers are offline since years.
@durengo-germany It doesn't say, active players?
Since launching, #SeaOfThieves has been graced with no less than 5 million players!
It may have been...
Since the start of summer my house has been graced with 100 spiders... that doesn't doesnt mean I now have 100 spiders sat in my house. It means they have passed through my doors, not necessarily stayed.
Does that make sense... trying not to be argumentative matey, just pointing out the semantics.
While I agree they could have announced an active figure, no game company in the industry I know does this!

But if you try to give the wrong impression to me with your statement that today live 100 spiders into your house ... then you create fake news. Nothing else happened here with the old phrase from joe nate and the twitter message. They taked a old phrase from may 2018 and repeated it into a artikel from 1 . st august to try to give the reader the feeling that this old phrase is a new statement from jo nate to the current state of the game.
@durengo-germany No where does it say that it has "5 million active players".
The message and article says that Sea of Thieves has had 5 million players, in total, playing since launch.
That is not a bad number for a game that is only a couple of months old.@danish-crusader sagte in Cursed Sails is a nice DLC but is should be in the game from the start because now it's too late .. servers are empty.:
@durengo-germany No where does it say that it has "5 million active players".
The message and article says that Sea of Thieves has had 5 million players,In may 2018 .... right.
@durengo-germany Maybe there's some English nuances that are getting in the way here?... Are you a native English speaker? Because this all reads right to me, as it does to a few posters above to me too.
Just trying to work out why you think this is "fake news"...
Do you have any other articles you can link to that confirm this?
