Well I am one of the new ones, I have always been interested in games like Dayz. I didn't purchase it before this as everything I heard about game kept mentioning being shot down shortly after spawn by griefers. I am 40 hours in now, I am enjoying it, the challenge of surviving long term on one character is one of my goals. I still have not met or seen another player in game, I have only come across their bodies and their bases so they have to be out there somewhere, If they are now done with the game or casual once in a while players I know some town bases that are going down asap.

No I was near death and struggling to move back and forth from trees to house. The groaning sound I made with each labored swing. I remember the tree 18-20 ft high falling on me and you are dead notice immediately.. If it was a player, heck of a shot.

I am 10 days in on this game. My problem is similar. I keep dying because of myself. Here is an example: I have severe blood loss, I am damp, I am sick as well, minutes from death. I need food. I'm cutting the last log I need to get chicken cooking and get myself a little better. Of course the tree I was felling lands right on me and I died. Spent the rest of the day and a number of lives trying to get to where I died as I had a good start on that prior life and some good stuff. By the time I finally did get there hours later all that remained was a glow stick. I have learned valuable lessons like do not beat zombie's with gas canisters, they explode and you can die. I have bled out for want of something to cut rags or if i have a cutting tool I can't find clothes to cut up as everything near me is stripped bare. I learned cutting up what you are wearing is the worst last ditch Idea to have. I have yet to encounter another player though I have found their dead bodies so they are out there.

Less than a week in on this one, I am learning as I go. If you see a pile of stuff in the middle of the road it might be mine.
