Just joined today and regardless of the answer to this question I will still play. But I would say most of the MMO community don't play hardcore games because issues like this. I don't think its fair for a brand spanking new player to join the world and instantly start to get camped unable for them to learn or play. Will there be any mechanics to at least get a feel for the game before getting thrown to the wolves. IE albion has their blue/yellow/red/black zones.
