My friends and I were playing the game. It was actually really fun. We sailed for a total of probably 9 hours and cannot find a place to claim. The claim of other companies is ridiculous. We went to at least 12 islands and couldn't claim something to make a bigger boat than a raft because one company owns the whole thing. I understand having more than one flag, but these people have 15+ and it is impossible for players that didn't get an island early to start. All I ask is to maybe make other companies not be able to claim with 15+ flags. Maybe even add future servers for small companies. I know this is early access, but at least make it so we can play with 3-4 people.
