      @@AudraT I saw your comment you posted, you’ve misunderstood how this works. When going into the red sea, as far out as possible to where you get black screened and “insta sink,” any loot you had on board will now be pushed into an area for people to get instead of it being put of bounds. Sailing into the red sea doesn’t just drop your loot off or something now, it’s only if you decide to hit the barrier what black screens you. It will push your loot back into safer waters when your ship sinks.

    Honestly, I don't care what the haters say about this season. This might be one of my more favoured seasons as of late. As someone who plays solo half the time, this will make my sessions in game all the more enjoyable, as I can actually do stuff now!
    I'm just tired of having to keep a low profile just because I'm solo. But now this will make the game far more enjoyable. But not only that, the increased activity in servers will cause more players to be on the seas, and it leaves more opportunity for those fun shenanigans I have once in a blue moon, like organic alliances stacking world events, epic battles on the seas, wholesome interactions with new and experienced players alike, etc. I know there's The Hourglass for PVP, but the hackers kind of ruined that.
