It's interesting how people who play at different times have completely different views on the state of the players in this game. I find I'm constantly barraged by pks, (which I would have to say is pvp) and rarely encounter any roleplayers. Others seem to think the server is only populated with roleplayers. The truth is, I would say it's got a bit of both, and both are doing the same thing, wandering around aimlessly trying to make something out of nothing, waiting for the next pk, rollback to take away whatever they just worked for.
I haven't bothered with an I quit thread mainly because no one is really smart enough to care when people leave this game, they eventually care when there isn't anyone left to pk, grief, steal, or talk to. But by then they forget that the reason no one is there is because people quit. I basically just come on to mine a bit, keep the tents from poofing, and see if just by some miracle of a chance, something good has happened in game. IMHO, the game is in much the same state as Arroyo just before the Chosen one's adventure, the brahmin are sick, the children are dying (leaving), only problem is, we don't have a hero to send out and fix it. Well guess the Wasteland is just Harsh.
