I am very new to the game and so far i have only found the community to be harsh for newbies. Anytime I have seen another player in the game they shoot me, even though i have never shot at any other player yet. I guess for veterans the zombies pose no threat and its all about increasing their murder counters or something. So i am finding the game to be solely pvp at the moment, which is tough with this type of game because a player with a ghillie suit and military weapons usually kills me while i am unarmed or carrying a pistol.
