about the maximum number of servers

This is the recording of last year's event, filmed in YYF's livestream room. You can sense his popularity from the number of barrage messages. During the Sea of Thieves event, his livestream had over forty thousand viewers simultaneously.

@tesiccl Thank you for your reply. Previously, some viewers wanted streamers to play Sea of Thieves again, but streamers said that the servers can now only accommodate up to 14 people. That's why it's frustrating. If there were 24 people, I would feel weird.

@tesiccl I think the current limit is 18 platers, no?

@tesiccl Ah just to confirm my understanding, to create a 24 player lobby, it must be on a private server which requries the host to be an affiliate alliance or a sea of thieves partner. Is that correct?

@tesiccl Anyway, thanks!

It is possible for 6 multi masted sailboats to exist simultaneously on a server, with 4 * 6=24. If you have never seen this before, it can only be said that you have played a little less

@mr-spx-ss Is it still possible now? That was the case about 2 years ago and they reduced the player limit per server to 5 ships and increased again this April to 6 ships and 18 players.

@spotwindow33843 You may need to learn about the alliance server. As far as I know, they sometimes have 6 multi masted sailboats in one server, so it is currently feasible,

@mr-spx-ss You may be mistaken. Last year's event was a party of 24 people. But now they heard that they no longer support 24 people, only 14 or 16 or 18 people (I don't remember exactly, it's cut anyway), but the number of streamers who want to play the game is increasing, and they have to give up the idea of playing the game again. I'm here to post to ask if there's a possibility of a 24-player server.

@tesiccl I would also like to ask if there is any way to quickly become an affiliate or partner? And can you be sure if the number of people on the private server is still 24 people, I don't want some efforts to be in vain, thank you

@tesiccl Okay, thank you very much.

@d3adst1ck When the anchors organized an event last year, they contacted the game company through the livestream platform and got their own server, which allowed for 24 players. It wasn't a public server. But this year, they were told they couldn't get the same kind of server, so that's why I'm asking. It seems becoming partners is the only option now. I'm not sure how they managed it last year and why they can't do it this year. Does Rare not welcome joint events like this?

@neo-lux13 I don't know how to explain this to you because I come from China,
At present, it is feasible to have a server with 6 multi masted sailboats and a total of 24 players in one server.
If you have appeal, gather about 100 players and ask them to choose a multi masted sailboat, then count down 3, 2, 1. When you count to 1, have 100 players set sail on multiple masted sailboats at the same time. Once everyone enters the game, hang the Reaper flag at the trading post and observe whether other trading posts have Reaper flags on the map table. If all 6 trading posts have Reaper flags, gather at the Reaper Island and you will receive a server with 6 multi masted sailboats.
