I logged in into already existing world. On the beggining I found a boat by the river and began my journey as a traveler. Then I was picked up by some friendly village (without walls). I shared a house with someone and began exploring nearby area, learning about river systems etc. and where cool things are like swamps and stuff. I had some adventures here - like I met 3 guys who were AFK with zZzZ on them and one crate was outside the claim full of good quality fishes. I think they went AFK during some kind of stuff relocation. I fastly grabbed that crate and moved on
Or I had that meeting with a high level player with whom I traded for some things like glasses and gave my black necro cloak for free. He had some kind of bunker on a tiny island. My house-buddy left the game so I had my house for free.. it was on one claim so sadly people thought I was stealing from them as I had a lot of found things so when everyone was asleep I took curios from their houses and left the village. Then I was wandering a lot and found some kind of abandoned area. During my travel someone was chasing me but I managed to escape. Then I encountered someone who stole tried to steal my boat on his boat so then I was chasing him and tried to kill him. I chased him and tried to kill him with my sling but it wasn't effective so I tried to swim to his boat and kill him with my 40 UA (I dediced such a travelel needs to know how to fight UA too ;D) I left my boat and obviously he took it. I was like HAAAALP IM SORRY GIMME BOAT SO I DONT DIE, these were horrible seconds of my life but thankfully that guy gave my boat back. We then apologized each other and went our ways. So I went into even more abandoned area. I discovered some kind of old raided city with open walls. It was fantastic journey around a really huge city. They had a lot of houses, raided passaged between walls. It seemed that it happened long ago but as I mentioned those ruins were yet unexplored because there was some left high Q stuff lying around. I took it and I decided to hide behind trees... (I wasn't playing on Ender, I didn't know about it ... :DDDD) Luckily when I was building my outpost somewhere near, it was still there. There was a lot of more left camps around, like some farms with claim only or raided bases with some stuff inside it. Ok one of the coolest thing that I got into was cave exploring. There were some rare curios so I made torches and I was exploring the depths.. (without ender). I drew a map but also was making cavemarks, I called it: Alurin's Roadpost I, II, II etc. and I had that also marked on my map so I knew where I am so I wasn't following already explored tunnels. I found some left iron in those caves so it boosted my progress. Then it happened... I found an entrance into a small village with walls unfinished. They had like 90 quality items, it helped me around. I had one character for everything so with some farming bonus from farmers hat for example I made better crops. I already built my solo village with a palisade so stuff from that old town was secured. The day after that steal I logged in and left my house and BAH someone shoots me with a bow propably. He missed :DD I escaped to the house. Ok I haven't mentionned something. In those caves, I left my HS and some guy contacted me. It was cool because they were survivors of that old town I explored . He had rangers cap so I felt as I met some hiding rangers from the caves. We traded so I made progress. He was online when the attack happened so I called him. He told me to prepare boats and they chased the attackers (there were 2 of them) down. They found them in a nearby cave and killed them. They had somehow had pearls in they inventory
Actually after in later worlds i knew what to do since the start and it was actually less excting, more like grinding-fashioned like kill X animals form y village then plow and drink to become hungry to eat and get stats etc etc all the things was done by someone else, i just had to hunt, find curios for myseld and eat so i quitted after 2 weeks. In the new haven i actually had some fun because everything was new but my village was raided by the ore bug because they penatred caves that would be normally inpenetrable and we had only palisade in the village . I survived but was left behind in stats by every other people so I got bored.
