Lol, it's because I'm from oc (New Zealand) but I like to play on NA servers because they are more popped. By the way you should check out my most recent video the ending is crazy.
If you are talking about this game being free I don't think so unless they changed it but when it was released it costed 200 (it might still cost 200) and that's because it was just released so it was on sale. They said once the sale was over it would become 400.
I did not Team with a random I allied with him therefore we agreed upon not raiding each other and not killing each other. I played solo for the entire wipe.
Scav camps have yellow, mili and scav hideout have purple, factory and cargo yard have pink than you use the pink and purple cards to run sub base and abandoned bunker which have the best loot in the game.
Definitely worth and it's only getting better from now. The servers wipe this Friday along with a small content update bringing modded servers and some quality-of-life changes/updates. I was playing solo in this video but from experience, it's a heap of fun jamming with a couple of friends.
