				As you already saw, you missed out crafting, and I missed exploring in the list. If it weren't for exploring, I don't think I would dig in PR anyway.

				If 'Large battles and complicated politics' wasn't inferring PvP, then add a vote on that for me too, but it seems tied into it in the poll.
R2 really needs the seperate hosting support structure to work, but it is a big factor as to why I'm still here.

				I chose the social element, digging, roleplay and lore, and shiny stuff. I'm not into PVP and large scale battles cause my pc just can't handle it.

				Roleplay possibilities and great lore
Large Battles and complicated politics
Social element
I assume the second mainly consists of PvP, which in its current implementation has stimulated politics and therefore causes a lot of enrichment to the RP in the game.  Conflict is part of life; there is at least one conflict element in every story.  There's absolutely nothing anti-RP about physical expression of conflict toward other played characters.

IMO the difference lies between 'Simming' and 'Playing a role-playing game'.
Simulation of a world and roleplaying (in the RPG sense) aren't necessarily the same thing, though they cross over a little.

Well... 
complicated politics is part of social element
roleplay possibilityes same
large battles is a subcathegory of pvp
striving for next thing is the second cathegory nicely put

				explanation of my catagories since you lot dont seem to agree,
PvP - non OP pvp, involves nothing more than picking a scrap with the nearest body bag volenteer
large scale OP fights and politics - I lumped the 2 as all politics these days seem to be about building effective alliances which then go and attackk outposts. Any other form of politics usually involves lore and therefore I class this as Roleplay
