Seeing all the things people have created, it looks to me like you have to invest a TON of time gathering etc. to make anything of substance.

I mean, you have to work for all materials to build, right? Based on my limited time spent in game gathering and building I quickly decided life is too short.

TANGENT: What other games are there where you can host/rent a persistent server?

You should have played Life is Feudal.

You would have understood the word tedious much more.
