I logged in to find that there was a very experienced player creating a base right next to mine out of stone and taking all of the materials. I got attacked by a vulture that chased me inside my base and killed me. My neighbor helped me out by killing the vulture, but also took all of my materials and equipment. So left with no materials and a neighbor who was collecting all the nearby resources I got annoyed and returned to my Hardcore server. I was surprised to see my half-broken hut and bundles of materials still there from the day prior. I built a nearby hut with the materials and plan to return to the old hut in 2 days to demolish it. I'm assuming that I'll die again in the next 2 days so my plan on Hardcore is to have several nearby bases that I can switch to / demolish as I cycle through existences and try to salvage what I can out of my death. I also found something really cool; at Rag Viking Bay there's a cave behind the waterfall - unfortunately there is a dinosaur gate and an owner of the cave, but it was still a cool find. I wish there was a server for someone like me, who just discovered the game and is looking for a new world to stake a claim to but that isn't completely devoid of life. This is the only hardcore server and when I entered there was an elaborate base on one side of the bay, so I went to the other side and built there. Only to now discover there's a hidden base there, too.

Been playing for about a week now. Yesterday I switched from PS4 to PC, tried playing Hardcore but could only find 2 servers with almost no one on and wasn't able to become part of a tribe. After dying at level 16 and being unable to reclaim my home I decided I'd come back to Hardcore once I've found a small tribe to belong to. On Ragnarok I established a thatch hut and was continuously bombarded by larger and larger bird-life, which resulted in an excessive aversion to birds. First it was those small, seagull-like birds stealing my berries, damaging me, and being annoying. I had to struggle to build my thatch hut while dodging the bird. Once I established the hut I was relatively safe and was able to craft more spears, a bow, arrows, and some clothing. By this point my beach started to be over run with very large, eagle-like birds that killed me a couple times. It was this one, specific male bird that was harassing me. Finally, I had enough and crafted more arrows so I could kill it. It was not even close to enough. Hiding inside my base without arrows and no resources to make more, I started attacking with my spear at the bird head sticking through the wall and doorway. It fled twice and returned from the damage I inflicted and on the second time it returned with a female. The whole ordeal was exhausting, but I had bird for dinner! I earned about 8 or 10 talons from these giant eagle-looking birds that I was only able to kill by stabbing them with my spear from the safety of my hut. They kept coming to attack me in pairs, male and female. A couple days later, maybe a week, my hut was visited by a Carnosaur. We were good about co-existing. It only chased after me twice and many times my triceritops neighbor scared it away from my hut. Once, however, when I was running from the Carnosaur and made it to the safety of the cliff my base was on, where I could not be reached, I was attacked by a f***ing bird that knocked me off the ledge, into the water, and subsequently eaten by the Carnosaur. Finally, it was reaching the evening in real life so I decided to make the base level of a wooden castle-tower, which would be my next base. After its completion and the dismantling of my prior base (same location), I locked my doors and logged off.
