The world of Creative can be played socially on your own private server or on the 'PLAYFUL' servers. There is a day and night cycle with creatures to eventually hunt and kill in the name of crafting. Nearly everything in the world is obtainable via hunting creatures, finding treasure chests or the simplest way, using your PowerGlove (Left Mouse Click).
(A Player Claimed Grid is one excpetion)

You gather, craft and automatically earn knowledge of 'next level' items that help in making crafting materials, gear and housing. There are no NPCs to buy things (there is a Store in-game for certain items to pruchase).

Players can help each other by crafting high level gear for new players. Players can unite within a claim or be given access to a claim by it's owner.

Everyone can own a Grid Square (Press M to see the world)

The world is huge! The total land mass is capable of reaching the moon, per Playful.

Here are some quick tips and notes I gathered...

I'm logged into the game, now what?

***Toss your 'T'eleporter down and go explore the world.***

1. Explore toward the beach

Collect...
-Mushrooms (Aides in replacing heath points)
-Any Wood/Stone type (Basic crafting item)

2. Craft a Processor
-This will allow you to add wood, stone, etc... for crafting items!

3. Explore, Gather, Craft
-Simple, repeatable actions that produce the quickest path to higher/better gear/items.


1, 2, 3, ...

Hints:

-You can drop items to the ground using the inventory bag (next to the trash can)
-Tunnel underground for quick and undisturbed crafting
-Craft a stone sword and basic armor sooner than later

-Kill Pigsy: for armor materials
-Kill Rockster: for armor materials
(both located near the beach)

-Get back to crafting until you can mine Coal and lastly, make obsidian bars.
(very easy to accomplish no killing involved)

-Your game starts when you decide to kill your first MIRU.
(You tier armor depends on MIRU Eye... make sure you have all the stone gear on!)

-The alter-state of creatures happen at night. Beware!

After 2-3 night cycles of exploring, you are ready to start building a place to call
'OMGWHATWASITHINKING'-Home.

PVP Servers are much different than PVM... death, destruction and mayhem!
