I'm happy with the game. I'm here now active consecutively for more than half a year, with a good amount of forum RP posts, one dedicated main character and a few characters that were created just to try out things, be it pirating, smuggling, salvaging or other stuff, and more than 200 footage videos with an average time of more than an hour - so I can fill a week with it. I have a certain luck with my encounters so far and was able to find a neat non-faction group to RP on a daily basis on a level I couldn't do with anyone else, I guess. No, not cyber, but roleplaying a daily life, in a belletristic way. Not everything needs to be about the neverending battle between humans and nomads, Order and Core and what not, so I like that.

I try to have RP always in the focus, and while I don't expect much from people, I'm often positively surprised when stumbling across some decent RPs, both on forum and ingame - latest example may be the AFC blind jump race recently, with @JorgeRyan and @James Greed but also other cool encounters. Maybe it's the fact that characters without a big goal like "conquering the Omicrons" or something are just more chilled and fun to encounter. Not everything just ensues to a battle, and as I PvP-noob, I appreciate that.

So far, PvP is the only thing that constantly causes redfaced conversations, people shitting on other platforms about people and what not. I rarely log for that, but even then I always keep the chances for negotiations open, as it's definitely always the more interesting way of interation than just pewpewpew - imo.

I don't know. In all that time I ended up with two people on my ignore list, one of them because he's trolling quite often and the other because he can't write a single post without insulting someone directly or indirectly. Given how everyone says the community is incredibly toxic and looking how big the community still is, I think that's a good statistic. Only two of what, maybe a few hundreds? Every now and then there is reason to be mad at someone, but boy, that's maybe for a few weeks and later one can laugh about, I don't know, instakilling people boasting about shooting a snub while it was writing. Those things simply happen, and after it, we all simply know better how to appropiately react.

I think the worst thing about the community is the fact that people are constantly talking about toxicity. People are talking about stuff, pushing it to a certain level and other people join and give their two cents and lots of people don't even know what the situation is. That's rather a problem. Some things are just hot air, and people tend to get mad at that air. Why even bother? It's a game, some people will always have a different opinion. As long as one can find common ground with everyone - and that common ground is provided by rules and inRP laws - everything should be fine.
