Post your Hermit settlement.

And then the inevitable realisation that i've spent all this time on my own personal zen garden which is lonely and barren without other players to keep me company or populate my buildings with activity and stop them from decaying. So i let players in and, what's this, my shit has been stolen, broken, and griefed and needs replacing and repairing and undoing while i was asleep one night or otherwise unawares?

The bit emboldened above is what I think drives village makers/community players on. The thought of a vibrant, bustling village, full of trade and activity.. sounds great doesn't it?

To some it may, to some it may not. Personally, I'd rather live alone at this point in time. I realize that there are advantages to living within a community; however, I quite enjoy the solitude and the challenge of having to do everything for myself. It's nice to be able to take care of yourself without relying on others, in my opinion.

i've played both ways, and they are both a lot of fun.

yes, they seem nice, but i lean more towards a quiet village. not so much a hermit life, but niether a big "city". I just want Cenaria to be a small, friendly village, that is wellrounded with supplies, defense, and such.
