It could take one up to a solid week of casual farming to get enough materials to make a stand farther North on the map. For me, it was a religious exercise, run nekked past hyena alley and hope you don’t get crushed. If you can make it to the little river, avoid crocodiles.

So after all your testing and all your trials, you burden yourself with stuff to create a homestead and start off. Immediately a sandstorm hits, right at the point of no return. Donning your mask, you are hit by a surprise hyena, and then another. Crippled, you die. Run back, pick up your body while dodging aggro and make a run for it, knowing one little nip will doom you. And then after all, sacrificing yourself to crocs right outside the Aqueduct and having LOLConan123 steal your lucky charms.

One notable difference: we couldn’t just run away from everything.
