Hmmmm..experience..
W3 or 4: I was a member of Odditown. Though I didn't get much outta that. We mostly just dicked around. :\ I was more or less a pet hermit that was a part of the village but lived outside it? I was a hunter/crafter. This was back when making a shitton of baskets got you LP. Though I quit right when they nerfed the slings.
W5: I was in Yggdrasil for about two days before it was raided and destroyed. I don't exactly call it a bad experience, nor a good one. Didn't do much because everyone was telling me something different, as I was confused in this new curio based world.
Went on with some ex-Yggies, Seren Elder and Emesria, and had an interesting time with them as we started up the village of Jhelom, right under (quite literally) Vigilance's group. Enjoyed being Chieftain, hunting, crafting, farming via alt since our farmer was a lazy twit. Then me and Eme quit due to our lazy-ass villagers.
I don't like leading. I do like being independent. I like to take a small percentage from the village at the beginning to get myself started then as I grow, take less and less, while giving more and more. I've absolutely NO experience as a metalworker/miner. All my life in this game I've either farmed, hunted, crafted, or cooked.
