Their whole server thing is very ephemeral - it never seemed to clearly communicate anything it was doing.
I suppose to prevent people from server hopping to boost their friends but it also seemed to make actually boating with them impossible.
The way they describe this new mode as solo or "with a crew of friends" I imagine it'll still be a kind of one boat only game.
And, until they do something about it, server hopping will still be a thing. I mean, FFS, if it's such a prevalent aspect of your target audience's interaction with your game, why is still not a feature? After how many years? What low-effort, tone-deaf, half-assed design, through and through.
