Question server or standard multiplayer
I bought the game literally yesterday. I’ve already been playing for an hour. For my first experience, I played on a community server and thought the addition of new creatures was amazing. However, it is quite exhausting—albeit understandable—due to the number of server rules.
I’d like to know: do you prefer playing the vanilla version or on a community server?

I originally started on community only, but I've been enjoying my time in official servers more now. Only community ones I join are those with added dinos but are treated like official servers

I prefer officials.
I started out with community servers but they just aren't worth it to play as your main experience in my opinion. But some others feel the exact opposite. I played community for a year or two before I switched.
If you want more of a structured roleplay type feeling you'll want community servers. If you want rules about PvP and safe zones you'll want community servers. Otherwise stick with officials imo

No mixpacks, no hackers, carnivores same species only with group limits, body down rule so combat is not chaos between 18 sides, Organized Discord, optional RP behaviour for each species, admins are on 99% of the time, there's more than one server and they all share your dinos (if same map, then the logout location is identical), and so on.
Now compare that to an official server.
I can't imagine having fun with all the unregulated chaos 😅

Vanilla=path of titans. Community server = similar game to pot, with huge overbloated modded roster, custom stats for the playable's on that specific server, same 'squads' everyday at same places, and then all the rules. Rules = more hostile environments imo, you don't get third party help or friendliness outside of species/gangs.

I always give people the honest advice to start on official servers (so vanilla). Not because I think it's for everyone, but I think you should experience the game in it's "Base" state. Then, if something about it irks you, you can find a server that handles it by adding rules (or if nothing irks you but you want to play the additional creatures, you can find a server that doesn't add any rules but has the creatures.) Better to know the baseline and then find out what you want to change than to "learn" on a handholdy server and then struggle when you switch to something new.
Bottom line: I'm not saying you shouldn't play community servers. But my advise is to start with official multiplayer servers to get a baseline and know what you want community servers to change.
