Boy, is it lonely out there. I was whacking trolls last night and, for several hours, I was the only one in-game. It reminded me of the very early days of WoD when that happened all the time. The differences are that it is a much more dangerous world than then, but on the other hand, I have more back-up equipment and other moderately strong characters to help with "rescues". I think someone has tried to compensate a bit by slowing the decay rate of corpses, which is a good idea.
The sense of danger that comes from having no one to call on for help is intense, but exhilarating.
