I see it's slowly replacing CS:Source when I log into Xfire to see who's on. Downloaded a gameplay video and it was a little green man running through some trees for about 2 minutes, with not a lot happening. What do you do in it?

Depends how you want to play it.
You can follow quests, kill the local wildlife, gain some money and experience and move on when completed, or group up with others to take on more difficult, but more rewarding elite quests.
You could be a nomad, going from place to place, exploring, wandering, doing whatever you see fit while not restricting yourself to one particular place, or you could just join a Player Vs Player server, group up with dozens of other players and fight massive battles against rivals.
As for the overall aim, or objective, there is none. It’s an MMORPG, if you want to work to a goal, you have to decide yourself what that goal will be.

They can keep pvp off, but it just doesnt happen, people dont travel all the way from the eastern kingdoms to stand outside the crossroads and do nothing. Even people who may have come along to "spectate" invariably end up in the battle as they get the adrenalin rush and see their friends in need. A PvP server it is not, but good fights still happen and i know i won't be ganked to death when i have to go to the wetlands for the succubus quest.

Yeah, but it's still not the same, people can choose just not to activate PVP and therefore remain invulnerable. Also, people on PVP servers are there for just that, everyone is training and willing to do battle with the opposite faction.

It's a new server and was still at low population when I logged in this evening. And like I said, everyone on it has joined to adventure and engage in PVP, therefore everyone wants to practise their skills.
I did 8 duels in Crossroads today, won 6 and lost 2. Also did Ragefire with my guild. It was a party entirely comprised of Rogues :)
Creepy joined this evening, he can at least back me up that people talk a lot more and it feels like more of a Horde, especcially when we spent half an hour mobbing French people.

I'd say thats more to do with your server having a higher population than it being because it's pvp.

I wasn't being sarcastic.

Actually, having loved Warcraft II to pieces, that makes me very moist.
