Let me preface this by saying that I have put numerous hours into the game by now, and have yet to murder any other players, while having been killed by people numerous times. I have had some fun in unpopulated servers, as the concept of the game is indeed fun and has a lot of potential. I play the game as I live my life, trying to help people who need it and gather things up to do so. On every account the game has made me realize I would rather just be a zombie than survive in a world where everyone is a raging douchebag. On that note, know that there are no friendly players. The people who say they wont shoot will just wait for you to turn around. Anyone who tells you otherwise is hoping they find you in game so they can shoot you and take your stuff. The game is tailor made for griefers. There is no punishment for killing people for no reason, and as evidenced by people who snipe across town to kill you just for fun. They will claim its because they don't trust other people, but they are just in it to kill you. Don't believe me? Watch some videos on YT. They are gloating about doing it. If you are a new player, my only advice would be to get drinks and food, and run North as soon as you can. The shitdicks who are only interested in killing you for fun tend to hang out near cherno and elektro. Although I wouldn't put it past the losers to hang out for countless hours in Pulkovo just waiting for you to show up. I don't really mind getting sniped by some no-life every once and a while, but when the gameplay revolves around that, I have a hard time investing any energy in playing. Am I mad? Of course. Can the game eventually sort out the deathmatch bullshit? Possibly. I wouldn't tell anyone not to try it. As I said, it has the potential for a lot of fun. Be forewarned though, the game has a lot of assholes in it; evidenced vehemently by the people in this thread who rationalize why they will shoot you without question. tl;dr Try and have fun. It's your only hope.
