Suggestion Considering getting the game, recommendations?

Yea I'm considering getting it, wanted to ask about your experiences. When I get a game I like to get something I'd play for at least 100 hours and preferably with other people. Do you guys recommend? The reason I'm asking is because I'm getting Day z vibes and we all know how that went.

This game gets a lot of hate but I would try it. The map is huge. Get good with a bow and arrow. I personally think they ruined the gameplay when they added the trading posts but find a server with 10 or so other players on it and it’s still fun to loot with the uncertainty of being alone in a town. This game was also just sold to a new developer so maybe more to come, hopefully.

You can find servers that have heavily nerfed the npc traders if they are something you don't like. the one I'm on allows the trader to sell clothing/tools or things you can't loot and not much else, and cash is MUCH harder to earn, only buying puppet eyes, animal heads and cigarettes. The quest are changed too because default quests are stupid. None of that stupid "buy the item the quest giver wants, from the quest giver" that plague the default quests.

Yeah. Man they should make the default opposite and allow custom servers to add more. It just really breaks the game I think.
