I’d suggest single player bro get the hang of some things. Look up a YouTuber called Nooblets he has a really informative video about starting off on the newest map ragnarok but also try out the original map the island. If you need any help by all means PM me! Side not don’t let the nerds scare you away we’re all crazy here good luck fellow survivor!
lol best learning experience is to go straight to pvp, dont trust no one and be ruthless kill everyone raid anything you can, you will get the big tribes attention then they will let you join them
Play single player or find a Dedi, yes they are boosted, but they help you learn the ropes
I run a dedicated server yes it's bossted thru the shithouse but it saves spending months leveling up and building, you can have a decent base in a small time, depending on when you can play
