Which The Isle Server Should New Players Choose?

Closed thread Closed by archive
u/OP·3 months ago

I think I've spent longer browsing servers than actually playing this week.

Some have loads of players, some have massive rule lists, and others seem almost empty. Is there anything specific I should look for when choosing a server?

I'd rather find somewhere consistent where I can learn the game instead of joining one and discovering that I'm breaking a rule I didn't even know existed.

Read the rules first. Sounds obvious, but it saves a lot of trouble.

Population matters too. A busy server isn't necessarily better if you're looking for a quiet survival experience.

Yep. Also check whether the server runs the version you want to play.

I prefer smaller communities. Less chaos, although you can still meet some absolute menaces.

Ask the admins if something in the rules is unclear. Better than finding out the hard way.

Fair. I was mostly looking at player count, so I'll try checking the rules and version first.
