Yes! Many players will want to help you on your journey and assist you with getting around the world. Some players may even trade your items that may have eaten up a lot of time to unlock. Due to the long-time community, there will always be players there for you. If at any point you run across some unfriendly people in the game, you can hop to another server, and you will be away from them. Or you can choose to block them if they are harassing you.
