Moving into the 5th in-game year the chaos has started to settle down, the fight for survival fading into the background for those that have built up settlements.
Roads and shipping lanes are now being carved into the earth, connecting the world inhabitents as trade has started to flow.
I joined on the 2nd year (mid winter) and can happily say this server is very friendly and new player welcoming.
The first couple of nights I was given shelter by strangers, offered food and tools in exchange for helping around their start-up and once I built up enough supplies I headed
out to find and start my new home which has now turned into a settlement of 5 people all living close by, helping each other out.
THE BAY
Player Base + Server
The player base is very active on discord and in-game, on avarage "during the day EU times" there's a minimum of 5 people online and later on in the evening around 9-11.
We're always looking for new players to join and build up this world, whether you're looking to homestead by yourself, start a settlement or join one of the current ones!
With the Xskills mod installed specializing in a profession really helps with the games economy / trade as people specialize in a given profession increasing the quaility and output of their goods.
The server overall has a progression system, almost like a progressing civilisation, each year new technologies are discovered such as, this year :
(Millwright) was added which helps increase the power of our windmills.
Along with those new technologies which help us to survive and prosper, the world also becomes more dangerous, animal/creature damange/spawn tweaks.
New animals/creatures are discovered "Sun-bears" are now spawning from this year onwards.
All in all, the gradual difficulty increase and new mods really helps keep the server active and "fun" as things are constantly changing as each year passes.
If you're looking for a relaxing, friendly and active server with a progression system and difficulty increase each in-game year, I'd highly recomend giving this one a chance.
I look forward to seeing you in-game.
