Interesting...appreciate the info. So, it's basically a single player game or custom multiplayer. Probably for the best.

If its anything like GTA I'll stick to solo play.

I think the overwhelming majority of people here are going to be fun, with at worst a harmless prank here and there. But you can't be ensured.
