Been playing since launch. I love this game. I love that they waiting to bring in the npcs because it let us build a community of real people. I have met so many people playing this game 100+. Playing with a group is sooooo fun. Anytime I get on now I have to pick and choose who I will be playing with that day because there will be at least 30 of those people on at any given time.
About 8 months ago I ran across a Brotherhood of Steel roleplay group int the bog and I have been playing with them (BOS: Wolf Pack and BOS: 76th Chapter) every since. We run the groups through discord and conduct Patrols and our own made up missions throughout the wasteland. It has been one of the best multiplayer experiences the I've had in 18 years of playing online.
Our Patrols/Missions have been massive to where the only players on the server were part of our group 20+ members.
One of the things we would like to see is Brotherhood of Steel camp items that would be the icing on the cake.
The main story and the mistress of mystery quest line were excellent!!!
