I have since learned to avoid most servers because, well... people are jerks. Not everyone playing has the same goals in mind and it seems most peoples goals are to just kill anything and anyone that moves. A couple of friends and I were playing and had joined with 3 other players, so we had this party of 6 wandering around, none of us armed with anything more than a small knife. We got picked off by a couple guys that had found guns. I hope they were disappointed to see we didn't have anything of value, but then I'm sure their goal was just to kill other players and not for looting them. I've found a few servers that are not quite this bad and started enjoying the game there, and now am working on putting together a server that will focus on the player vs the game. If I ever get it to the level I desire, I will put it on a hostling platform and run it public. I have 'zombie' and wildlife rates cranked a bit high, so finding food, shelter, water, and avoiding being eaten by a bear or wolves or killed by zombies becomes more of the game instead of being able to wanser around looking for other players to kill. Teaming up with other playrs will actually aid your survival in the game play I am trying to cobble together. .... Weeds! No, that is my vineyard!
