The difficulty with commending a crew for sinking a ship is that players don’t sink ships.
Water sinks ships.
There are several ways in which a ship can fill with water, including holes i...

I, too, am in shock. I am deeply and profoundly saddened by how often the word accommodation is used, both here and at sea, when commendation is meant.
Here is a commendation. We see a Pir...

I found a group on the Xbox App wanting to grind merchants in a galleon, and this is how they did it. All were experienced pirates with levels in the 30s or 40s.

The Cursed Sails event has thrown into focus the passing of time in the Sea of Thieves and how that is tracked in real time. Here is what I have learned.

So I had a few of my friends ask me this and haven't seen anyone in the forums indicate it. So if you've been wondering how many Athena voyages you need to do to get to certain levels I've got you cov...

Has anyone noticed that the map references of all the islands have changed? Either the world has got smaller, or the map has been made a little bit bigger!

This game of baseball is kind of fun. It's reasonably fast paced and exciting.
It just lacks proper goals.
What baseball really needs are things to aim the ball at. Maybe they could be bas...

I am confused by the term End Game. People will talk about "the game just beginning when you get to Pirate Legend"; while others will talk about there being no "End Game" when you get there.

Clearly, the change in the value between what a Bilge Rat letter of recommendation was worth, between 'thrones and 'splosives, was in response to the quite reasonable complaint from the Nearly-Legends...

Now, I know this is just a game, and there many things that are not realistic, if not fantasy: such as fighting skellies and firing oneself from a cannon.
However, there is one unrealistic aspect o...
