Oil Rig

I'm starting to think of my life after sweating.... (6k more of it to go it seems, but it seems that it might not take me as long to get this amount as it took to get the first 2k) so.....
how easy is it to get oil from that oil rig on the SE side of the map?. what are the problems in getting there?. how is the oil rig protected?. would it be easier to get oil out if it was a team of people?

Well, for starters, the oil rig is right in the middle of a PVP area...

(sorry for my ignorance)
What is a PVP area?
Are these the red massive circle areas I see in the map?

Not easy.
what are the problems in getting there?. Mostly Troxes and pk:ers
how is the oil rig protected?. read the above
would it be easier to get oil out if it was a team of people?Certanly... Hmm or making friends, and it will help you stay alive longer.

Thing is this: it's pvp, wich means you can get killed by other players.
And beside that, there are big Atroxes and they like to eat newbies for breakfast.
But be there alot and be nice and polite. That way you will make friends and increase your chance of getting some oil.

after sweating life, hmm, skilling and keep uber hoffing at all times
easiest way to oil rig is east of twin peaks, kill yourself when you are half way to the southest outpost near the pvp 2, go north west-east to the middle of rig, and beware for the pkers and the armaxes and troxes. its just struggle with the nymp south way to the oil rig, you will just die and went to the north outpost again, kinda frustrating.

It is NOT an regular income possibility after sweating.

The rig can be a pain to get to, lots of relatively strong mobs that will just eat younger players (like me). Once there you have to worry about other players because it is in the PvP area, although the last time I went everyone was just sitting around chatting rarther than wasting ammo on each other.

At that time people were using scripts to grab the oil very quickly so there was no point in an honest player like me being there as all the oil was collected before I even saw it. However, MA has implimented some changes which, apparently, make it harder for the scripts but I'm not sure how much those have changed things.

My suggestion, go out there and have a look for yourself, I learnt alot about avoiding mobs and aggro ranges etc by making that long run from twin plus once there you can decide if it is worth ever doing it again.

As for going in a group, well I don't really see how it would help and if alot of OJs turn up a stronger player may just be tempted to go for a quick and easy Pk global, just mho.

If another player kills me in one of these areas, does he get all my possessions?. (ok, lots of sweat only at the moment, but it took me millions of hours to get it!!!)
