We will be meeting via STEAM friends and will be on Discord as well to coordinate a host for SART. You need to be invited to play, so message those already playing on STEAM.

Sea of Thieves on sale for $30 (50% off)
Posted on Tuesday April 16, 2019

If you do not already own Sea of Thieves, this is your chance to get it for cheap again. It is currently 50% off for $30 for the next week. There is a ton of new content coming for the game in two weeks, and it will continue to be supported with new content long-term. Ignore the Xbox Live Gold button, and use the second Buy button to but it for $30 for PC.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/sea-of-thieves/9P2N57MC619K?activetab=pivot%3Aoverviewtab

Another alternative if you want to try the game out without investing too much into it right now would be to sign up for Xbox Game Pass which is currently on sale for $1 for 3 months. There is also a 14-day free trial if you don't want to spend $1 or maybe do the free trial for 14 days and then buy 3 months for $1 since the sale lasts for almost 4 weeks. If you have no plans to buy the game on sale within the next week but do want to try it for free using this method, you might want to wait until the end of the month for the new update and for our next community night.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/xbox-game-pass/CFQ7TTC0K6L8/0005?rtc=1&activetab=pivot:overviewtab

Supposedly you can play on both the PC and Xbox One at the same time with one copy of the game and two different accounts for anyone that has an Xbox One as well and someone else who wants to play without buying another copy of the game for either platform.

We will be coordinating via Origin friends in addition to Discord and will determine what mode we will play once everyone has joined the game lobby. Be sure to join our OSF Titanfall 2 network with the instructions at the link below to make it easier for you to find your way into the game lobby. You can also join on people already in the lobby from the external Origin friends list. If we would happen to have more than 16 of us, we will split ourselves into groups. There are also coop missions available, so we could split ourselves into groups of 4 and play that mode as well.

Prepare for spring WAN party: Discord VOIP
Posted on Saturday April 06, 2019

Our spring WAN party is set to take place next Saturday April 13 starting at 6:00 PM Eastern. Our WAN parties are essentially extended community nights where we play multiple games over the course of 5 hours or so. You can find the full list of games to be played in this post. More news posts will follow over the next week with instructions for each game.

We will use the Lobby channel on Discord as a supplement to any built-in voice communication for games to coordinate, communicate, and have a good time. All members and friends are welcome to join in. Members can invite friends and family from Discord to join our server (or use the Discord server invite link from Member links at the top menu of the forums). We will also use STEAM friends to coordinate. You can find more about installing Discord and connecting to our server here:

Sea of Thieves is a game where you form a crew of up to 4 and sail around looking for treasure and other adventures. If we have more than 4, we will split into several crews. It is tough to play together with multiple crews with the current game design, but we will make a few attempts to get on the same server together at the start. You can find more on the game here:

https://seaofthieves.gamepedia.com/Sea_of_Thieves_Wiki

If you want to try the game out first on PC or Xbox One which support cross play with one another, you can sign up for a free 14-day trial of Xbox Game Pass or buy it for a month for $1:
