Note: This strategy is very effective but it is not a very quick method. And before you know it, you will get gold rewards of 1000 each time you sink your friend. So the first time you sink your friend you get a gold reward of 50, then the next time he sinks you, he gets a gold reward of 80, then the next time you sink him, you get a gold reward of 110. (First you sink him, then he sinks you, then you sink him, and so on.) Each time you sink each other, the bounty gets higher and higher. Next, you and your friend take turns sinking each other. Then, get your friend to launch on the Spanish side as you launch on the french side. First, get a trustworthy friend, and find an empty server where nobody is privateering on. Now, many refer to this as a glitch, but to me it's just a simple strategy using the privateer bounty system. So I suggest going on a ship with more powerful mates, making it easier to sink other ships. Next, go for the ship with the highest bounty but usually the ship with the highest bounty is a very powerful ship and is no easy task taking down. You can always check each team's bounty by using the ~ button. Hint: Go on the team that has the least amount of bounty, it will give you more gold to plunder from the opposite team. So, you can either launch your own ship using the dinghy or board another mate's ship. All of the most notorious privateers are there, working for either the almighty French or the powerful Spanish.

If your cannon level is high ( maybe 20+) then I would suggest that you head to the servers of Abassa and Andaba. It all depends on your sailing and cannon level mates. Privateering (SvS) can or cannot be a effective way to earn gold quickly.
