I find myself losing the motivation that I had at the beginning of this world and think that playing with a group of players will help me stick with the game.
All of my experience has been as a hermit. I have zero PVP combat experience (would like to change that and get a feel for combat mechanics against other players) but I have zero interest in killing noobs or players just starting out unless they deserve it.
In terms of what I enjoy doing in game, I find myself having the most fun hunting, foraging and exploring. I also enjoy the base building aspect, with my least favorite aspect probably being farming.
I am located in the US on the east coast. My schedule is pretty open right now so there is the potential for me to log some serious hours if I find a fun group of people to play with.
If I missed anything important, feel free to ask here or PM me.
