Don't listen to theese guys nonsence.
Played theese kind of games for so long that i know what will happen without even blinking.
Someone grows bored,boost his char high enough and recruits a few guys to kill a bunch of guys,
Hes abit stronger then the rest of the avarage players so he can run around raiding destroying stuff,
Players don't really like to get involved as hes not "touching" their stuff but eventually he will.
They make more and more enemies,
Players get pissed,rally a bunch of soldiers,guy and his "guild" dies , his towns are burned to the ground and ppl hunt him insults him untill he change server/quit.
Some time later,a new guy wants some attention story arise again,Rinse Repeat.
This is not made up this is facts.........
