If you decide to give it another try and can access forestnet on IRC, check #2238help for general questions and #thelastlight for some hands-on assistance. If not, feel free to shoot me a PM and we'll see what we can do.

This game has a weird difficulty curve. If you stick around, chances are you'll adapt, learn how to move, how to position yourself, what to do and what not and after a while the stuff that seems impossible to you now becomes trivial. That said, the open nature and lack of safety is a bit of a draw for 2238 and you can die anywhere anytime. That's not going to go away, you simply adapt. The "be scared 24/7" experience will go away after a while, but "watch your back 24/7" will stay with you around here.

ronillon:
Yes, you will die a lot in this game. But that should not stop you.  ;D

First 2-3 weeks i was really scared of everything. And to be honest, it felt good, the postapo atmosphere was awesome and i was really enjoing it.

But as Malice Song said, after a while, you will adapt. And those impossible thing will become trivial indeed. Other "imposible" goals will arise. And so on.

Although there are many players, who will just shoot you on sight, there are even those who are willing to help you out. Try the IRC, eighter The Last Light or contact me via PM.

falloutdude:
this guy wont come back and likely he will start playing WOW or diablo. not many can play this game and deal with the harshness.

Prophetraz:
Thank you falloutdude, for being the very jackass that I was talking about that would flame me for this. To the others, thank you for not being an ass about this. I am just not sure this type is for me. Mostly because it doesn't really give me a motivation to explore and find better items when I know they'll just disappear when I die. Once again, I am NOT criticizing this game in any way, I'm simply saying it's not for me. Though, like DayZ, maybe I'll try it again in the future.

Giftless:
Not too many of the guides talk about it, but your first character should really be a crafter so that you can replace lost gear. There are ways to get jump-started too, but if you don't hop into the trenches with an experienced player you'll never know.
