    Hey @SeaOfThieves. I've never spent a dollar in the Pirate Emporium. I should, I've spent 1600h in your beautiful game. Let's change that. You fix the cheating problem that's really starting to ruin this game (for me), and I go on a spending spree in the Emporium. Deal? I promise

    FIX for the gargling mic issue in @SeaOfThieves. On Windows 10/11: Settings -> Sound -> Sound Control Panel -> Recording (tab) -> Properties (of chosen mic) -> Advanced (tab) -> click the Default Format menu and scroll down to 96000 Hz (Studio Quality). This “Should” fix it.

  • HonkTactful TactfulHonk (@HonkTactful) reported

    @CaptMcGuffin @SeaOfThieves Trouble is, the existing denizens of Golden Sands don't really have access to Athena's Fortune to spy on anything. Merrick sure does though. The question is, are we sure we actually rescued him from the dark brethren? They were counting on us coming for him, after all...
