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.
