The reason why people leave...

Many of those who run can't even get away (seen knights,marks and mages trying) so instead of fighting untill the end they die running.

i call that (most of the time) a patetic death you run to die alone a lonly slow painful death with no honor since you are there alone so they can teabag you unlike a fort war where you die hand in hand with your realm brothers and sisters.

but running is usefull some times i distract alot of ppl running around in circles giving others a real chance to escape and kill some of the others guys and if they dont go for me i might as well as run AND some times i have a chance at running and drown my self giving no rp and a reason to kill mobs, if i know im dunmed then i gues i might as well as not damage my armor and at least pateticly hurt someone

I run from fort wars too. When I am on low mana I just run when the door is broken and it seems that we will die in a few moments.

Why do I run? Not only my little dwarf is a coward, because when I am in low mana I am dead meat anyway and I cannot do realy much damage or support my mates in any way except taking hits. But running, well...when I run at least a hand full of people will try to catch me. So I attract a lot of peole and my mates in the fort have a few enemies less...that way they are more likely to kill a few of them than when I would have stayed in the fort.

And sometimes I even manage to escape from the fort... and as further I am away from fort as more health and hp I have and less enemies behind me because many stop chasing me when too far from fort, depends on the class. When there are only one or 2 left behind me I turn around and kill at least one of them.
It is all about tactics when you run
