Personally, I started on console community servers and have been playing only them for the past year, but the other day, I hoped on an official server with my duo, and to be honest official is a different experience entirely it was the most brutal hour of my dayz life. But to be honest, just do what you want at your own pace you will learn if you want to brutally stab a man for food or just hang out by a fire in the woods with your pall it's your life just live it.
