Game feedback: enjoyable up until you get ganked

[Mabinogion]

On the contrary, this is already an EXTREMELY informative thread, mainly due to other posters than myself.

Anyone reading this will know exactly the kind of place they are getting into.

Naturally, there are actually plenty of friendly and helpful people here, but this tends to be the way the cookie crumbles on internet gaming communities. I'm not invested enough to be upset by any of this, just a little bemused at the level of 'passion' of some responses here.

I suppose the next step would be to profusely apologize for being a dumb noob with busy RL schedule, who dared to share some thoughts on my experience here after being rightfully murdered for other's amusement and scull count.

You could start by, instead of suggesting that the entire game needs to change to fit your own bizarre playstyle, atleast admit that you made a dumb mistake, learn from it and move on.
These forums are too flooded by half-assed ideas (like yours), posted by uninspired people that clearly have no idea what they're talking about.

hermits just do Palisade and lock with wood, keep master key inside walls, with an alt character, only go out with slave key copy

don't settle near villages, swamps, water, localized resources, don't fight ants or animals right away, don't swim, and the unspoken rule: don't interact with players, as you notice in this thread

the unspoken rule: don't interact with players

Good tip, Snail doesn't hold themself above some good ol' social engineering.

"Don't interact with others" seems like horrible advice to me. If he had spoken with a single passerby they probably would've told him his wall situation was retarded, and he therefore would've not died for free. Significantly improving without player-interact in general seems impossible. It's putting off the inevitable, instead of trying to change the potential outcome. Nematode behavior

[vatas]

Paraphrased: use extreme caution when interacting with other people in-game.

Unlike in Legacy, talking to someone over the (properly built) walls is safe (they can memorize you if close enough range, but that doesn't let them see when you are online like when making kin.)

You guys were warned like 2 weeks ago about building gates, my friend actually warned you he would come back and decimate your village if you didn't build gates, looks like someone else got there first.
