    @SeaOfThieves so I hop on the game for the first time in months (quit playing because of constant server issues) and the server crashes on our first emissary quest after we hit grade 5. **** Rare, **** Sea of Thieves, never seen a game with worse management. Waste of time.

  • shinrenyoki Mak (@shinrenyoki) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Would you explain to me why servers are not working? I got kicked out of multiple instances with a grade 5 reaper, losing about 15-20 hours of gameplay. Im *so* close to uninstalling.
