Sounds pretty fucking good.

If the players are anything like they are on Red Dead Redemption when you bump into them on multiplayer, I expect I won't be making any friends. Seems human nature is to shoot your horse and try and kill you.

They're worse Nap, seriously. Imagine a server of up to 100 players who can't communicate unless they're face to face. All of them nervous and on edge because they know at anytime they could get jumped by infected or sniped by a greedy bandit over a can of beans. If you get killed all the weapons you've found, the backpacks, supplies, kill count. All of it gone.
Making friends is near impossible, don't even try. Most people will shoot you as soon as look at you. At the same time being a lone wolf is really hard because if you lose blood you need to bandage up and gain it back slowly by finding rare morsels of food over time but the easiest and quickest way is a blood transfusion... which you need another player for.

I've taken to looking for the rare empty or low population servers that work, managed to get a ghillie suit, a crossbow, a pistol, a massive backpack and some flasks. Most people have to turn bandit to get that in one playthrough, I've been really lucky. Once I've gotten some night vision goggles I'm heading north and staying there. Cities are fucking death traps.

I was kind of hoping someone on this forum might have a private server set up. The whole lone wolf thing has worked for me so far but not without alot of close calls.
