I decided to come back to the game after a 6 month break and start fresh on small tribes. I have had 3 characters vanish without a trace in 8 days.
The latest just happened just now when I lost connection to host, when I tried to rejoin the server my character was no longer on it.
Not bothered about the levels or tames/items I've lost because it's all early game stuff that's easy to get.
I just don't understand why my characters keep vanishing and I am more concerned at not being able to progress when having to create new a survivor every few days
