Sorry I didnt respond, had a lot of work to shift through.
Anyway, what I mean by free roam is that people arent organised into teams, you are just given the open reigns to do what you want in the area for a few hours (or even days!), so no organised games, so all the situations are real and for a reason, so alliances can be formed and lost, so people can be their own play style.
It could open a lot of possibilities. If people were given a few days, some people might defend one particular area, make it a little town, a police force and all sorts, a bit like the walking dead. And within that people could start selling BB's in exchange for food rations, which might be illegal, which would open up a breaking bad style thing, but of course, all this would be up to the players to do (but is done often, look at a game called EVE online for a good example).
So yeh, as I said it doesnt have to be apocalypse, that just makes the costumes more creative and more varied, but anything is fine.
Hopefully I can get some more sites, because if so I might get a good revolver for christmas and when I learn to drive a few months later can go out to these sites and be a kind of raider, depending on how long it is it would be really awesome to form a group of raiders, and then hire more until I have the biggest raider empire on the map!
