I have over 1300 hours in this game. I love it.
This guide is nice for me, because I have explored a LOT of realms. Even online realms.

I mostly enjoy building at this point. Finding that 'perfect' realm with the assets you like is important when you have played as much as me. There is no more 'surprise' content. Just variations on a very very familiar theme.

So I run mods, play with peers, and being able to preview a map helps me gauge whether it will be a positive interaction.

Too often, I have found realms that are like an imaginary carrot on a stick, but with each new island explored, and every sea crossed, there is no carrot.

Thanks for the guide! I added my recommendation, and I hope others will too.
Cheers
