Skraps/New Yorks comments were mainly voiced towards former pvpers or pvp type players who have ceased fighting each other to claim pixels.
I disagree with population needing to be large for pvp fun. It takes 3 groups of 3-4 people to make pvp fun, the population could be 15 or 1500 and three groups that want to competitively group fight can make a server entertaining. The height of SA honestly there was only really 3 groups at a time, I remember sometimes 4 and sometimes the numbers were bigger but for the most part it was always 3 active groups. Thats all it takes for a fun healthy server. I can think of one server in particular right now with 500+ clients on at all times, literally no pvp whatsoever. Ive played server with 35 clients and great pvp activity.
Its a mentality and mindset. Thats what this server has lacked and henceforth caused pvpers to resort to killing bards, which is ashame. Santorum/Always Strapped had a mentality that could make pvp fun for other pvpers.
I have 8 total murders on 700+ day old accounts. If I have murderered a bard it was most likely an alt of someone I was trying to get to retaliate. Or I def didnt loot.
But yes New Yorks/Skrap comments are valid and a hindrance to certain populations and playstyles we do not retain or recruit as a server. However the fact everyone is "friends" is also a great thing keeping this strong niche community alive. I'm glad its here and I'm glad Jack gave us this gift.
