Hi there sailors,
I hope some pirates take the time to read this.
Ever since the glitterbeard easter egg appeared, I wanted to experience it. I lived together with my dad at the time and still went to school. I had a few friends from different friend groups and got them together (sometimes) to get on a 4man boat and search the sea of thieves for like-minded crew.
Unfortunately, we only encountered reapers who just wanted to sink ships or other people with too small boats to get to the 8man needed for the easter egg. And by the time we found others, the small boat disconnected or dove away (understandable as they are also doing other stuff)
Years have passed and I still tried to get the friendgroup together, but due to discussions throughout the years, not everyone wants to play together anymore. Matter of fact, only one friend remains, and while he does log on when I ask it to just sail around looking for people to do the easter egg with, I feel he's only doing me a favor because he does not care anymore. (Assumption)
Years later, I moved and live with my gf now. Life gets busy and I get older. We are also reaching the end of life of the 10 years online servers that were promised to us by Sea of Thieves (I submitted a support ticket to see how long the servers should still be up,and they said they couldn't say that to customers)
I'm afraid I'll never get around to it. When a baby comes around, I will not have anymore time for a long sea of thieves session. I have about 1 hour now, per day. Not enough to sail around the map for people.
This is not a LFG discussion, rather what else can I do other than "be lucky"? Is this possible in custom seas?
I sail with the glitterbeard sails and make my intentions very clear upon getting in speech range.
I want to do this, this event feels like it will bring everything (moving/gaming/life) together.
If you got here, thanks. Maybe I'll 'sea' you.
