Originally I joined with a friend, who brought another friend, with the idea that we'd build ourselves a town hidden in a mountain somewhere. Long story short they got bored after day 1 and I was left to do as I pleased. At first there didn't seem to be much to hang around for, but the community kept me there and brought me back after my little 2-3 month absence. Some people were pretty friendly, I could have a little chat with them and the like, and that was nice. Hanging around more, I got involved in some of the PvP games a few times, VOTA and that sort of thing, and found those to be pretty enjoyable. Those sorts of games create a nice little zone where I can go 'all-in' with my fighting in a way which is competitive but lacks the antagonism of shanking one another in the 'real' Loka world. So I have fun, partly because of PvP, partly because of the folk in the community.
