I have been having more fun here lately than at any time in minecraft rp for the last decade (or more? my god what have I done?)
If you aren’t having fun or it just becomes too much, take a break. Start a new character or change your playstyle. Figure out who the players are who take away your fun and avoid them.
I always hear about how stressed out people are playing this game. Stop. You are doing it wrong. Life isn’t long enough to play games that aren’t fun for you.
Once I gave up on politics, hegemony, land-ownership and lotc systems of any kind it was a lot more fun!
Now I travel the realms making music with my friends. Find what is fun for you and then avoid the rest like the plague!
