Yes, I can confirm now that there is a Rocktropian version of the Oil Rig... However, since it is relatively low stakes as of late, there are no armed conflicts and blazing tank guns here. However, if you are satisfied with picking up a few pecs here and a few pecs there, it might be an interesting visit for you to make to the Keg.
I do want to point out that the zone is PVP, but non lootable PVP. And you revive far away IF someone were to kill you. But seriously, if they take even one shot at you it costs them a few minutes of keg collecting to pay for the ammo they just wasted.
Do Kegs have use? I'd say some blueprints have used them because there is some 60 peds having been sold in the history of Rocktropia at a MU of about 600%. Of course there is no weekly or daily MU, perhaps even monthly either. So they clearly aren't as of yet in high demand. But that might change in a year or two.
The Kegs weigh 1 kilogram a piece, and TT value is 1 pec. They are dropped every few minutes by the Keg in stacks of 1 or 2. The stacks may get bigger as people start spending more peds fighting for them. Is only my speculation but I surmise the more peds spent in the Keg zone, the bigger the keg stacks will be and the more that will be spawned. Only time will tell if I am correct.
I am only posting this for the sake of completeness in my blog. Most of you would rather deposit 10 bucks and have 100 peds to run around doing stuff with, I mean, it would take a long long time of running around picking up these kegs to get 100 peds :P
I suppose I am addicted to picking them up simply because the Oil rig has been denied to me so many years, I've never, not even pre vu 10 have picked up any oil even once. The Keg seems to be fair game for everyone, and it is a good feeling to finally get a turn at something like this. But if you are broke and can't deposit, it is still faster than sweating :-)
The Keg can be found at 126460, 92245.. these coords are right along side the Keg, so yeah... Good luck and have fun!
