I recently started playing in a Luanti server and I was having a good time, I tend to be more independent but I usually participate in server events. I also tend to help people out if I am able/know what to do.

However there are times I would interact with what seems to be children, and it feels suffocating. Sometimes when they spot me would sort of type my name into the chats until I respond, and ask me to do stuff with them. Normally that’s okay, but it’s very often and the activity tends to take up a lot of time and would sort of leave me frustrated, like with mining because if they spot a valuable ore I’m mining they would sometimes take it for themselves. Another is when I’m exploring/moving around the world and one of them wants to follow me around, but I dislike being followed around and I like my alone time. I would often humor them and point out some good locations and interesting stuff but when I want to chill by somewhere they also want to be in that spot. Sometimes they can be sort of excitable that they want to go somewhere else and want me to go with them, but I would really prefer to be in my spot.

They aren’t malicious but it really scares me away from being spotted by them or talking in chat when they’re online. Some of them can really insist a lot and they may think me talking to other people means I have time to deal with them. But I’m not their parent and I have my own goals.

      The server is Your Land! You may need to learn a lot at the beginning though, the logic of the world as it has lots of mods, how to deal with the world (the wilderness and nether is way more dangerous than it is Minecraft). You can also pretty much live in the city if you want (and there are multiple!) but of course you get more freedom with builds in the wilderness. There are also events where a mysterious entity calls “Voice” attacks by sending troops in places, but it’s up to you to join those. There are roleplay elements and some people write events in the server like it’s part of some story (esp. with Voice attacks). There is a library for it. I’ve always been looking for sandbox MMORPGs in this level for years so I can’t “play other games” like some other people are recommending when I just found something like it.
