Late to the party

I'm planning on buying it during the winter steam sale, since I know a lot of people who play it = v=;;;
It's gotten a lot better since it first started, and a lot of the recent updates have added a ton of new features.  Even if something seems weird when you're playing it now, it's bound to be improved in a later update or at least be fixed.
If you find someone nice, try and stick with them or at least become distant allies since some people are willing to really help beginners/newly respawned players.

Good luck with it though!!
