I am a new player, (purchase the game 2 days ago) i had been looking at the game for a long time. After downloading the game on my PC and choosing character, I began to play. Since i had been watching the game for a while I new to get the quests and start. Here comes the interesting part, I dont know anyone who plays the game so i solo that was a mistake. I get my first chest, very happy, then i hear cannons and come to see a galleon shooting my ship. They leave, at first I thought they just left it so as i swim towards it with my chest it sinks. Well sad story you might think, but it continues, I take a mermaid to my ship and begin to sail again, take a new quest. After getting the chest and returning, with the outpost in sight, a kraken spawns, ok i can deal with this. Whilst surviving, two galleons arrive and begin attacking me, I tell them im friendly and have no loot other than one chest. They agree to help me, we kill the kraken, get an alliance and we live happily ever after. In 20 mins of playing, interesting game.
