This is really a pity because as far as a hunting area goes, it's great. It just really sucks when you hunt, return to the cavern and try talking to people before you realize you're talking to a friggin brick wall that's been afk for the last 3 hours and stays afk for another 6.
Like right now...there was a good 7 or 8 people in the cavern before I went to plane 5. I fogged down to 3 and due to not seeing a type ahead message when I went to go defensive again, a n'ecare got a lucky shot on me.
I've been lying dead here on 3 for a good 30 minutes, done some symbols of need, etc. Sent a few thoughts out on the Voln net earlier when someone else up here died asking if anyone knew where they were. Of course I got no response, though it could very well be that there were no other volners in the rift at the time.
I'm sure I'll be lying here for a lot longer while all the afk zombies sitting up in the cavern go about their daily afk duties with their characters sitting there for hours on end collecting dust.
This is what I hated so much about Teras....barely anyone is awake. They just sit there afk for hours and hours. Hunt/afk/hunt/afk/hunt/afk while the player goes to bed/etc.
This is the main reason why I barely ever come up to the rift anymore because there's rarely anyone awake to interact with. You either see people sleeping on the ground, or see their disks floating around while they sit afk in hiding for hours.
Yeah I use symbol of dreams a lot up in the rift, but I'm very rarely afk when I do it. If I see a death cry or something, I wake up and go get them if I'm able to, or if on the rare occasion I see a person with a functioning brain, I'll wake up and talk to em or whatever.
And no I'm not just writing this because I've been lying here dead for the past 30+ minutes. I'm just tired of the rift being a haven for zombies and afk people, especially since it's such a small and secluded area as it is.
Am I the only person that gets pissed off by this? reg
