Stuggle: As others have noted previously, resources are becoming rarer and rarer. I hadn't really noticed it until yesterday when my food stash ran out and I had to go in search for something to eat. My struggle, however, eventually became an accomplishment: my difficulty finding food and wood drove me to become a more environmentally conscientious player.
Accomplishment: Because resources are dwindling and food is becoming increasingly scarce, I've started a small, self-sustainable farm by my home. Up until now, I was relying almost exclusively on meat to survive, but when animals became a lot harder to find, I needed to explore some new options.
Furthermore, I've begun a one man reforestation project. When many of the players cut down a tree, they only take the trunk, leaving behind saplings, which can be used to plant more trees. Consequently, I've been wandering around looking for floating clouds of foliage, cutting it all down, and replanting the trees.
Observation: In my last post, I mentioned that I had fallen into what had initially struck me as a tedious, tiring routine. Tonight, I noticed that I rather enjoyed peacefully tending to my wheat and replanting trees. To some this may sound dull, but for me, it was an oasis of sorts from the stress of my "analogue" life. The immediate rewards of building new kinds of tools or discovering new materials are no longer as important as they once were.
Question: In class today, Thomas mentioned that many servers have rules of conduct. Could our first project as a class be creating our server's rules of etiquette?
