That's good to hear. i've been debating about this, but really not wanting PvP interaction. Tired of the toxicity of most online games.

You might want to reconsider... sounds like a lot of players are shifting away from PvP and turning it into PvE and working together.

Haven't tried it but came across this article about how many people playing the game have shifted away from PvP & are working together. If it wasn't spring time and trying to get some yardwork and preparing for a garden, I'd probably be trying it out on the PlayStation. Doubt my old Win 10 machine would handle it very well...

In a post-apocalyptic landscape of cutthroat scavengers, surprisingly peaceful players are opting to team up and open up – a phenomenon that’s intriguing game developers and psychologists alikeIn a post-apocalyptic landscape of cutthroat scavengers, surprisingly peaceful players are opting to team up and open up – a phenomenon that’s intriguing game developers and psychologists alike

Unintentionally, the game has become a sort of social and psychological experiment, raising questions about game design – and the human condition – that have intrigued social scientists, psychologists and criminologists. Roughly one in five players have never knocked out another raider, and half have knocked out fewer than 10.

I wonder if it's just down to the "core" userbase which is more willing to play together? That's generally how any online game goes - any sort of free weekend, you pick back up a ton of griefers that don't play nice, they may buy the game and stick around a bit, but then it dies back down to the core group that plays daily/weekly.
