Heres the tale of a bluesuit -
I'm a vet since FO1, I've played everyiything from FO1 to FNV, also spent a heck of a lotta time modding FO2, FO3, FNV - so I'm as well equipped as a noob could be here, right? I've also read the FOnline wiki pretty extensively.
Well, here's my FOnline experience - anyone in armour better than leather jacket will shoot you on sight, anyone else with a name containing concepts of killing, weapons, penis's, pwnage or the like will also. I've been traveling the wilderness near safe towns, trying to kill rats etc. with a group of noobs (Im a high cha type, can carry a big team). Usually, a Pk drops into our rat killing session, and even when we chat friendly to them, they o so predictably backshoot ya for your pathetic treasure, or just the fun of it. When you ask why are they doing this, they give advice like "run next time". Hah! Often, when the wilderness map loads, you're already dead from PKers, you didnt even get to watch your own death! A noob wearing any armour just increases the likelyhood of attack.
My most memorable session was when a bigger chracter tried to help us. On a wilderness map, he gave us all leather jackets and pistols, and before we could even thank him some guy with a minigun appeared and mowed us down - the helper yelled at minigun "hey you asshole I just helped them!" - not that it did any good at that point.
Anyhoo, after about 100 hours of play, its time to call it a day. Obviously, only those who've played for several "seasons" are gonna get anywhere with this game - so FOnline permanant client membership will have limits based on that. Its a real shame too, Ive been hoping something like this would get developed for nearly 20 years. But.. i got here too late by the looks of things.
