Thanks for the report. I can't agree, that it is hardcore PvP'ers and hardcore crafters who play Siege. We don't really have many hardcore PvP'ers or many hardcore crafters. We do have alot who is somewhere between, maybe have a vendor or two, maybe do some PvM and try to PvP if attacked. We have fishermen, treasure hunters, roleplayers, everything works on Siege.
A crafters don't die much on Siege, a PvM'er may die more often, but there are alot places to go, where you rarely see a PK.
An other thing, that make Siege different, red or blue don't mean much, guild tag and actions do. I had been able to invite the whole shard to NEW2 graduations party in my Castle. My Castle are public and doors open. Did it end as a blood bath, not really, a few times I had to clean the floor after a red decided to grats the Young Siege players with a welcome kill, but it was only meant as that and the event could go on.
At the event was several guilds present and enemies was sitting side by side. I had done this several times and will do it again, when we have more than a few new members who make it a month.
I doubt you find a stronger community on any other shard. Lets see the effect of the upcomming global loot update, it may bring back the life to Siege. Vendor seach is a great add, and do help vendors at desert places. I had a well known red thief knock on my door, I was on Tina Tink, and decided to open the door and invite him with the words, "I take the chance to let you in". He told vendor seach did bring him to my place and then asked to buy some powder for cannons, he could see on painting at my wall.
An other time, a red I did not know, called me in chat, asked for imbuing help. I asked where to meet, he told me, he was waiting in my Castle
Fear stop alot from playing Siege, fear can be very hard to control. Dying and get looted is not the end of the world, just be sure you can replace what you are running around with.
