Why is recruitment so low in the Combine, it would be so much better if we have a much larger influx of people. And when someone leaves and they're character goes NPC right? What happens to everything they own? Ships, vehicle weapons-do they find their way back into circulation?
“And when someone leaves and they're character goes NPC right?”
No. Any character above level 1 remains in the game indefinitely, or until killed by IC means. At which point, their assets follow the death rules.
Characters at level 1 are deleted after 9 months of inactivity (and I think their assets may also follow the death rules, but I'm not 100% sure on that one).
