Is there any point to playing this game without bringing a bunch of rl friends?

Ulrek:
Grab a SMG, walk up to modoc, set it on turn based and find some brahmin. you'll have enough hides in about 2-5 minutes if you're lucky.

Second, gather first, craft second, make a combat/crafter to start with, something like a SG/armor maker if you can. use it to farm loot. outfit a real combat character after you've stockpiled stuff. and than go farm bigger stuff, than look for a bigger faction that is friendly to newbies once you have enough fire power to be respected (Metal armor Mk2 and an assault rifle along with 170-200 HP is usually enough to look useful) and either join them, or at least get in to a trade relationship with them. loners just play by themselves, there is nothing that says they cant make friends and trade. than once you've found a faction of trust worthy people (APK gangs aren't always nice but they're not base rapists so they're a safe bet), than ask two of their members to help you buy a personal base once you have the money.

And poof, you're sitting on your own private base, have some friends that aren't RL buddies, and a fairly good stockpile of SG's at least, if not loot from unity/RotMA encounters to.

Who Killed Bambi:
u can play fonline just like fo2, with bad build, and nearby same skills(without speach - u need rl skills to speak/gambling-dont work/ and few other), u just die like often save in fo2 before steal (when steal gauss ammo) or shoot in eyes when u have 5hp and huge enemy. and dont worry about stuff and caps, i meet low lvl thief in hub, he just steal from me and all npc around (any idea about how he succes), i tell him about Shiv in reno (npc to rob) he say *ok*, and go to reno, never meet him again...

The main difference between FOnline and Fallout  as someone wrote on forum is that FOnline is Massive (yeah, in our case it sounnds funny) Multiplayer Online computer Role Playing Game. I saw very much loners (I mean non-factioned) who doing quite well. But yes, having some mates in the game (not only rl ones) is ... uselful and quite helpful.
Imho, VC is the hardest spawn for newcomers, but it's possible to get out of there. There's no point to compare FOnline: 2238 to World of Warcraft.  Why?
WoW is pay to play MMO game developed by professional studio and it's about fantasy world. Our FOnline is free to play, developed by group of programmers and Fallout fans who updating game when they have some free time and above all it's about post-apocalyptic world. So who said the life after the nuclear holocaust will be easy and everybody will help each other with smile? This is mainly grim anarchistic universe where you're doing what you want, you're not forced to choose your patch of knight in shining armor or bad warlock. You're just trying to survive another day. Life in post-nuclear California is not so bad, but... quite dangrous.

However there's still groups of more experienced players who are ready to help the newcomers.  Jus try ask 'round or read this forum.

and u can change game abit, buy make suggestion about smthn (read 67 boards of suggestion before, it takes only half hour, or more).
lot of suggestion come to life in game, and like u see video before fallout (by gamers for gamers) this game is same.
pk, pvp - small part of fonline. (afaik).
