Yep! You can do only story if you want, tbh. You don't have to fight or only fight NPCs, etc. Most people in the RP won't go out looking for fights with you because usually that comes with some sort of consequences. Whether that be a bounty on their head or someone knowing you are new and not liking the fact that someone attacked you while you are trying to learn and enjoy yourself. Me, for example. I am the type to attack you for no reason because I am an asshole. But most players here aren't like that I reckon. Usually if you stay far enough away from events people won't go out of their way to bother you anyway because its either pick on a new player to no reward or go complete event-oriented missions, PVP or PVE where the rewards are very, very fruitful. So yeah. Go out there and do what you want. Just watch any negative actions. A lot of people hold certain landmarks near and dear. So if you go blowing stuff up in them, expect them to come blow you up themselves. But hey... That's part of the fun. For me, at least. And Skorm. Skorm likes doing that.
