Hi chaps. I've got a 1x1 server and i don't intend to be spending any more money on expanding it. Upon hitting lvl 8, i'm told that i need to explore in order to continue leveling up. I've made it to another island that isn't a freeport, but from the persistence of that level cap message, i assume it actually wants me to sail to a new cluster(?) Is there any way i can remove this cap? Many thanks.
