Any place that a player can be attacked, they will be attacked, 100% of the time, 24x7.

Regarding the loot restrictions you outline, 100% of the time, someone will loot your corpse when you die.

That's demonstrably false nonsense. It's not even bad theory. As they say in physics, it's not even wrong.

So, there is one prediction of someone permanently camped just outside of whatever the marshal protection area is. Despite not playing well with others, this group of people keeps equipment good enough to win fights against organized players, has enough presence to occupy the entire field, and doesn't fight among itself often enough for internal divisions to weaken it.

Call them Goons, even if they aren't literally. They are the content.

The Goons do not have the entire border between High Sec and Low Sec blockaded off...

Even in Darkfall, the absolutely most brutal game on the MMO market to date... stepping from the border of a safe area into a PVP area is not a death sentence. I've spent many hours successfully living out of starter towns on Darkfall. Sure it can be pretty dangerous farming the goblin spawn outside Heart of Eanna or Sandbrook because those are the two most well known spots for newbs to farm, but anyone with a little forethought can learn the system.

Be alert, have an escape plan, don't be overly trusting of those you don't know well, never carry more than you are willing to lose on your person, and avoid highly populated areas unless anti-griefer vets are present. Most of all learn names and tags. Some people and clans can always be counted on for help. Some will always try to harm you. Know who they are so you know who to run to, and who to run from.

Open world PVP is not near as brutal as people make it out to be. It's an issue of learning some survival instincts... and really using a lot of common sense. Even should companies like GL entirely fail, and Goon Swarm comes to PFO and establishes itself as the primary power, this game will still be playable.

Hey Skipper...shouldn't your line be "Failure is NOT an Option."?
