Its been an interesting experience. Been playing on NA PVE and the hardest part so far is finding land. We visited maybe 6 or 7 different servers by thursday and had not found any with claimable land. All land was taken on every island on every map.
Some one eventually invited us to their tribe so we could build a port and build a ship. We ended up working together and built a brigantine and schooner. We gave up our land to somebody who needed it like us and set sail.
10 minutes after setting sale we ended up getting into combat with those ghost ships. We were kicking their ass and taking them down. We were at 100% hp then the server crashed (not taken down but a crash). When we logged in we were surrounded by 3 of them (point blank) and our ship had 25% hp and unable to move. We managed to kill one and sank.
Half the people quit in disgust and it was only a few of us left. We sailed the schooner to another 2 servers having to dodge another 10-15 ghost ships and every one had 100% land claimed. Server needed a restart and I think everyone just quit then.
My only thoughts really are that claimable land is to hard to find since the game allows companies to claim entire islands and the servers are too unstable. If you want people to farm for days to build a ship the servers really need to be able to stay up more then 30 minutes at a time....
