Howdy
I wouldn't mind, I wanted to get back into the game for a while now.
When I was playing it more seriously with friends, we didn't go far : we didn't even reach our first winter because they didn't really enjoy the difficulty .
If you mean "serious", you can count me in.
For the server side of things, maybe a discord server first.
Get a few people in discord before setting up the server.
I'll send you my discord username with the 4 digits on the back in private.
