It would be a freaking miracle if you were to even find any sort of "open" server where you could just join as a random. IF you were to even find such a server, you wouldn't be able to simply walk in and start killing people since, by default, friendly fire / pvp combat are not activated and can only be activated by each person individually, if they choose to participate in PVP.

Most every server is locked because there are no good ways to prevent some random from breaking / stealing your stuff... someone mentioned the ward, but that thing is a joke and will not prevent theft... it would only slow someone down slightly.... Even if the player who owned the place was there, he / she would not be able to prevent the damage caused or harm the would-be robber.

Even worse is the ability to use console commands to summon mobs of any level, and any amount... essentially someone could potentially cause servers to crash by summoning in so much stuff at the same time, etc... THIS is why people don't open up their games to let random people join, and why this game will never become "RUST"

theres already pvp in game its just a matter of time till the devs have more than 10 person servers and the "co op" servers slowly get replaced with PVPVE servers. Its a natural progression of this kind of game if the Devs REALLY did want it to be PVE co op they wouldn't have added the option to turn on friendly fire nor added the ward stones to prevent people from destroying your ♥♥♥♥.

You can play the game however u want though so looking for co op servers wont be hard at all; my suggestion wont be the end all for the game like u guys are spazzing out about. All im saying is they have the ♥♥♥♥ for it they should just pony up n do it already; with the ward and there also being multicolored flags i feel like a PVP update is gonna come. It wouldn't make any sense to have this ♥♥♥♥ in place for a "co op only game" unless the devs are worried about griefing and or PVP. if it was truly co op only game why not just remove wards and remove the ability to grief and turn friendly fire on?

again though you guys can play it however u want I know i just wont see you on any PVP or PVPVE servers and thats not a big deal breaker; just dont make any sense they would add in very obvious PVP contingencies like a ward that prevents players from destroying things n opening doors.
