This is something I've recently experienced as I'm relatively new to the server. I spend time rping and fishing at the Sandy Shores spot and have gotten into some cool talks and role play situations with SD and have rather enjoyed the experiences I've had. It's nice to find a spot where you can do your own little side job and chat it up with other players without people super edgy and unrealistically hostile towards you. I know it's not for everyone but that's my two cents.
Played with @ThatMuricanGuyover in RCRP, knew him long before that on various gmod roleplay games. I know a few others here so it's going to be cool reconnecting.
