It is definitely best played with friends, with sessions set up in a fairly organized manner. If you just set up a server and people log in whenever, you'll find that someone went and looted the Dungeon while others only have a helmet and pants for armor. That's if you're doing a progression style server at least.
A building server where people collaborate on creating something can be left running of course, provided that everyone is on the same page when it comes to who builds what and where. And whether to progress the world to hardmode or do any bosses.
Still, taking a break could be a good idea, especially if you've taken out the Moon Lord enoug times to make all 4 armor sets.
That may make you ready for 1.3.1 which is going to focus on wires and mechanisms: http://forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/get-wired-for-terraria-1-3-1-calling-all-terrarian-mechanics.29865/
