Hogging the territory without using it. Yeah, I get it if you do it for a while. Life happens. But when it’s months on end, that’s just being a dick.

What ends up happening on some PVE servers is that they turn into ghost towns. You log in, and it’s chock full of these castles and theme parks, but nobody’s playing. And when a new player logs in, they have a hard time finding a decent location to build their own home, a place that doesn’t already have someone’s huge castle looming over them. So those new players end up either picking another server, or building their own thing and then getting bored (because no one is actually playing) and turning into serial refreshers themselves.

It doesn’t happen often, but it does happen and it sucks.

No, they’re not.

People have been claiming that for years, usually when they’re butthurt over some changes or a ban. And yet the long-term trend shows a slow but steady playerbase growth.
