Sort of a good point there – is @JimmyLondon on an official or a private server? On a private server, he has the option of having a quick chat with the admin and explaining that he is feeling harassed.
That last sentence sounds like it describes me… 
I was on an official server, I completed the game for first time wanted to see how it ended. I am on another official server now. Learnt a lot from that last game and server though. I like the idea of guerrilla tactics, I am a lone wolf, might do PVP server one day with that method 
Also don’t underestimate the power of allies.
I understand you either want to ‘Lone-wolf’ it or you are just on your own, but either way, if you can find even just one other person to team up with it’ll improve your odds.
You don’t even have to clan up, just find someone else in a similar position to you.
Chances are if you’ve had this experience with this clan, someone else probably has too, ask around (this might be something this clan does a lot to lower level players, or single players)
Might lead to interesting avenues.
I never quite understood why people in PVP don’t do this more often.
Its like they choose to PVP, which means they are choosing to play with other players. But they don’t seek friendships and alliances? Like they’re specifically choosing to take on the world. But then wonder why the world is against them when they do invariably face larger numbers.
Lonewolf doesn’t mean no friends. It just means your free to make your own choices and responsible for your own actions. But it doesn’t mean you can’t have friends or allies.
I just don’t get the argument many people make when they say they don’t want to deal with people. They’re already PVPing. You’re dealing with people the moment you login.
But something to be added. When you do PVP, and play competitively (even in PVE sometimes). Who you know is just as important as What you Know (personal skill) and What you Have (personal equipment and character advancement). Sometimes its even more important.
Totally agree.
It’s funny I say that though, since I am currently a one-man clan 
It didn’t start out that way, I had a mate who I was playing with but he just got fed up with all the bugs (not to mention the fact we couldn’t even log-on for months due to the infinite loading screen issue) and now it’s just me.
I would like to have a few more clan-mates, but I guess trust is a big issue, probably is for a lot of people.
My EA PVP days were amazing. My BF and his army buddies dominated our server, then they went on deployment and I was left alone. . .lol. People still left me alone as they thought I was a 10 man clan. I made friends with other clans and pretended my BF and his friends were ready to destroy anyone that went against us. It was amusing being the “alpha” clan when it was just me. After some time it got boring and I moved to a PVE server, but I will always remember my one person “alpha” clan days.
Well from my point of view, there’s a difference between PvPing people and diplomacy. Sure, both are potentially on the table when you login to PvP. But you can do it without either one. I like to be a lone wolf in the sense of not having clan responsibilities and making my own choices. I like guerilla warfare. I’m open to allies, but I normally restrict it so no-one can message me uninvited. It makes the game pure actions, no lying words 
This is why: usually in the first couple of weeks on a server, other solos and small clans (that often seem like people’s alt accounts) bombard me with messages asking to clan up. I say no thanks. I learned a while back that at least half of these will be scammers wanting to inside raid me or pin the blame for an attack on a bigger clan on me. The other half just say OK and never message again. Then once the bigger clans see I’m online a lot but they never see me, they assume I know what I’m doing and also send me messages offering me a place. I say the same thing: no thanks, I don’t mind being allies etc. So far so good.
Sometimes the people or clans that message me agree to be allies. But that doesn’t seem to make much difference to whether or not they raid or kill me. A lot of the time they seem to take my refusal to clan up as a sign of weakness and raid me. Some of them send friendly messages the whole time to mess with my head. A couple of weeks ago I let my guard down, and made the mistake of allying with someone and he spammed clan invite at me and stole my base. I’ve just learned through experience that if you want to play solo, no good really comes from diplomacy in the end. You’re a scapegoat or prey. Better just to save myself the aggravation and block everyone. After a while people kill you on sight or leave you alone, and there are no annoying “hey bro what u doin” messages popping up when you’re in the middle of something 
I think that is the main issue, trust. So even just trying to get allies instead of being a clan, could be risky as potential allies could be working undercover for enemy clans. Seen on these forums and youtube of people being totally tricked like this. But in an immersive survival fantasy like Conan, such cut throat incidents really would happen.
Do not trust anyone you do not personally know. There is only one person I did not know that I trusted and he was awesome, but also left me alone in our clan. I will never forget him. @codemage knows him since he walled him in on his second day playing.
Yes you can do it. It is hard, and running is definitely a tactic. But you can solo fight your way through the server.
Ok here are my tips:
Upgrade your armor and weapons.
You can find decayed bases sometimes on your server. Raid decayed bases to get better weapons and armor. Yes you can grind out this stuff, but in my experience you get better stuff quicker by finding decayed bases.
Next tip is to choose where you fight. You can use some landscape features to your advantage. For example, pick a fight in the mounds of the dead, your enemies will have to contend with you and the wights, the wights might even Siddle down their health enough for you to defeat them.
Next, respec your attributes for a fight, and then boost that build with bonus buffs from god fish or potions.
Some attribute specs can overpower your weapons, like archery with accuracy for example. Although I’ve had better success with a shield and sword.
Hope that helps
You’re right. Attitude is key. When I was playing PVP I never trash talked anyone who raided me, instead I would comment things like “nice work” or “strong hit mate” and that kind of stuff, I would always invite them back, let them know I’m happy to fight them etc. I made more friends than I ever have when I was positive to my enemies. I’m not saying this would work with everyone, but you never know, things might turn around. I’ve been in contact with my PVP buddies and continue to message each other to this day, even though I haven’t played PVP in years. Being nice in return might offer a new direction. If anything it could open up a dialogue where you could instigate some trade deals etc. people are less likely to attack you if there is a standing agreement.
