   a few hours of game time is pretty good for staying alive.  I have since   
   learned to avoid most servers because, well... people are jerks.  Not everyone   
   playing has the same goals in mind and it seems most peoples goals are to just   
   kill anything and anyone that moves. A couple of friends and I were playing and   
   had joined with 3 other players, so we had this party of 6 wandering around,   
   none of us armed with anything more than a small knife. We got picked off by a   
   couple guys that had found guns.  I hope they were disappointed to see we   
   didn't have anything of value, but then I'm sure their goal was just to kill   
   other players and not for looting them.   
      
   I've found a few servers that are not quite this bad and started enjoying the   
   game there, and now am working on putting together a server that will focus on   
   the player vs the game.  If I ever get it to the level I desire, I will put it   
   on a hostling platform and run it public.   I have 'zombie' and wildlife rates   
   cranked a bit high, so finding food, shelter, water, and avoiding being eaten   
   by a bear or wolves or killed by zombies becomes more of the game instead of   
   being able to wanser around looking for other players to kill.  Teaming up with   
   other playrs will actually aid your survival in the game play I am trying  to   
   cobble together.
