    Not everyone has access to a nice place to walk around at the drop of a hat. Seclusion and personal space is dying commodity, lol.

    There's a real forest behind my house, but if I go for a walk there (at least if I did now) I would be attacked by mosquitoes.

    I did have a nice place to walk around but it got overrun by squatters who have already assaulted people in the park. Heck, we already have a confirmed murder in that area. I like going for a walk but not enough to roll the dice. I'm not a very lucky man. lol

    Ya, I live out in the sticks. In addition to the hoard of blood suckers I also get cougars, black bears, and grizzly bears. All these things would like to eat my face under the right (wrong?) circumstances. People think going for a nice hike or walk is a way to destress, if only they knew they are a nice, defenceless afternoon snack that's probably being watched. Around these parts we routinely scroll past "Tourist hikers mauled by (insert large predator here)" headlines without even batting an eyelash it's so commonplace, it happens several times a season ffs. By all means enjoy the beauty around you but understand there are no safe places. And before anyone says anything, yes I do go out, a lot, very very far into the back country. I just happen to (mostly) know what I'm doing and understand the very real danger. Fortunately Island Sanctuary has none of that! I've now increased my rating from 7 to 8 out of 10 for *ahem* NO RISK OF IMMINENT DEATH

    It's just a bad mentality and really all it does is seek to weakly dismiss the content. The point is to give you a virtual space in which you can enjoy the game, the world, and the content with people from all across the world, and people you may otherwise not be able to easily meet. -- and to give you something to progress towards.

    Me, yes, I was replying to you in regards to the whole "Why would I do this in-game when I can do it IRL" which was the topic of discussion.
