Most ppl play solo and its the best way to play imo, not that its a fake MMO, but you put so much time to learn, discover, explore, that it's what make a good part of the pleasure of the game.
You will have neigbours, you will need some help sometimes, and your neighbours to, there will be realm chat and you will make freinds.
Why would anybody want to join a established group and plant carrots to be sure they make qual 120 to qual 130 in the shortest time or bake pies 8 by 8 for 12 ppl who eat 20 a meal ( and cheeses, omg) ?
But what you would want to do is to find a neigberwood, in the realm you choose, close to helpfull ppls and far from grieffers, paranoid faction and such.
And ppl in this forum can help you with that, making you a beacon to pop, telling you about some abandoned farms around, good quality spots, give you some seeds, etc...
Dont give up
