Re: High points? Low points? What makes you love/hate the game?

Larsa and Ikshar have it right.
SoR is a lot like RL - it is what you make of it. I enjoy the thrill of the hunt - as a harvester and explorer. I've been wandering around Newbie Isle for 4-5 days [~20hrs playing time] just gathering what i happen to find, developing the skills to find things more efficiently-territorial clues as well as "bricks" in game, and helping out newer newbies.
Anyone who is "bored" here is "bored" of RL because they need to be told what to do, they can't think for themselves. It is the open ended nature of SoR that makes it so much better than other MMORPGs. CoH has great costume customization, but confines you to classes with x skills - here you can learn every skill in the game given enough time.
The population is low? Maybe...but there's little or no camping [except kipee on Newbie Isle and maybe a few named mobs on mainland] and no KS or PK or other griefers [until Unregistered decides that trolling isn't enough fun and breaks down and buys a copy...]
Bottom Line: Great game for people who don't mind thinking for themselves
