Please post beard errors here as you're experiencing them as this will help the team to pinpoint and monitor the issues we are experiencing. Thanks!
From Community team on discord:
If you are experiencing Fishbeard, this is an issue with our servers, the team are hard at work, we will get everyone back in and playing as quickly as possible!
UPDATE:
Stampede! Thousands upon thousands of pirates are making for the #SeaOfThieves to do battle with the skeleton ships. If you find yourself up against a beard error, try again a little later. We're working on it right now and our top priority is getting everyone in!
