The player community, due to its vast numbers, was a mixture of all sorts. Some players were fearless to the point of recklessness when it came to facing no personal harm from the game.
Some players did not believe in bad omens, while others saw it as an opportunity to gain advantage.
During any large-scale war, these players would join enthusiastically. Did all these players truly believe they could benefit from such wars? Obviously, that was impossible.
The common response from players, apart from the truly confident members, was that most of them joined with the intention of scavenging for loot. Whenever a large-scale war occurred, the resulting abundance of dead monsters and players ensured that whether they were using alt accounts or were just beginners, their loss would be minimal. With just picking up a few items, they could thrive, and this motivated their keen interest in such large events.
