Dunno if anyone plays still. The topic is pretty in-active.
But, been playing Rust over at my friends and been having TONS of fun. Way more than DayZ standalone (the mod was way better to me), and I like it as much as Forest. Server I'm on is newbie friendly it says, and everyone I meet is pretty cool. Seen quite a few people and have been left alone.
Have a large stone house with some metal walls, all my metal doors, key locks for most of the doors and regular locks for some others. Tons of resources, great starting area. Even expanded the stone house to the level below me (main house is on a rock ledge of sorts that sticks out of the land. Kinda on a cliff sorta). I have a second house in the mountains built on the side of it, so its a cool cliff house that just sorta hangs over the side, that has a great view of the ocean.
Got a bolt action rifle, a revolver, great armor. And killed lots of sleeping people
And I also spent like 9 real life hours (my friend took turns too) breaking down the wooden doors this guy had in the house that had key locks on them. He didn't even make metal doors, but still spent lots of time hacking away at them
he had a ton of good stuff. And I expanded it a whole bunch from what he did.
