A few moons ago, I started alone and in just build mode (cheat mode you could say) didnt kill anything, just learned how to build. Its my favorite aspect of the game. Once I learned that, i ventured out and got into a vanilla server and met some of the greatest people I know. We all hung out and then found a modded server and made even more friends, Just waiting on official Mistlands to come out so we can all get back together and play. Its all about the community you join and if you are willing to do your part and learn and make friends, Ive been lucky and havent had it be toxic like some other games. Just experiment and if you dont like where you are, quit and move on. Its just a game.
