The other day I found no less than four boxes of matches and two hatchets in like fifteen minutes. Useless to say I ran to the forest and started enough fires to burn the whole country down.

I'm from Spain, so I tend to use European servers mostly. Anyway, thanks for the tip.

I know thanks to the forum that before adventuring up north it's better to have the map with you and, yes, the couple of times I tried to leave the coast without any guidance I ended up lost and unable to find even a farm or a lake to get food and water. But maybe that's because it was night time on the server, so don't start calling me idiot. The thing is I never stumbled upon the map (lots of watches, though) and I searched towns throughly, what am I doing wrong? And more important, is it really useful by it itself or it needs the GPS as well? I know I could rely on the fanmade maps, but seems to me that's a little bit of cheating. Yeah, I'm a sucker for rules, sorry.

I crawl my way through the city searching for loot. I find a house with nice things and make my way in without being seen by the zeds. And then, when I hit the button to get the loot my character gets on his knees and I am spotted, chased and killed. Wouldn't it be nice if this issue were corrected in later versions of the game? Any tips?
