maybe im odd but i always prioritized my island over the lvl. did the adventures that gave the loot i needed for evolving and lvl came with it. didnt like nords as it put me ahead of the main quests for example.
these days its much easier to run away with the lvl and arrive at 50 with a very limited economy. premium+surprise attack+almost free settlers. all you really need is bronze swords and not messing up blocks.
Also have questions about buying ls vs playing adv yourself. Isnt there some premium inside ls price? Id prefer playing single player adv or swapping/selling ls myself. Dont have any math behind it - just gut feeling.
And this statement really needs some further explanation cause as it stands it makes no sense.
