LOL! Love it - what a great Mad Maxian semi-quote.
Gr1m, i don't disagree with you on the behavior issues in online games. But what i am saying is, no matter how many players don't quit due to the bad behavior of others, there are a bunch who do quit for that reason. It's not possible to know how many, nor the proportions. Such info is not in a database. It's not on a spreadsheet. We cannot run a SQL query on it. It's simply a matter of opinion based [hopefully] on our own observations and experiences.
So my opinion is...if we could look at a graph that shows how the player base has gradually grown here over time, we'd see it is in fact increasing. However, if half of the people who quit were still playing, the numbers might be 10 times higher. Maybe only 5 times, but maybe 20. We don't know. I base this on what i have witnessed thus far since August. Four months seems like a fair sample of time to me. I'm not saying half the people who quit quit due to being PK'd, but some percentage quit over it. If we had those back, we might have 6000 people waiting for wipe instead of only ~600. As scary as that may seem, it would be a heck of a lot more donation money, and donations is apparently how this thing is running.
So i'm back to a simple point: we should be helping new players get a decent foothold on the game rather than murdering them with little-to-no discretion. Because murdering them with little-to-no discretion drives some of them away [and they take their donation money with them - there goes our next new server.]

Lets be fair to Tomowolf and not Hijack his thread for his faction, I well make a thread called "Server Numbers" in general game discussion. And lets continue this discussion as gentlemen there.
Once again Tomowolf good luck, this sounds like a fun faction if I was more into PvE.
Tomowolf:
Move your disscusion about faction to the other topic please - I do not want there a flamewar ^^. If there is any new player that want to enjoy learning about the game, and have fun just write in.
Frenchy:
You have my support.
