Well, i could go on.. And a lot of others could too. I could hop on my bd (actually it got deleted from not being on so I'd have to just make a new one but ye), get others, and go cruisin' in Kusari. But like many others here, there's just no drive for me.
First thing that needs to absolutely happen is the removal that awful embargo between Kusari and Liberty, that has pretty much killed off what little activity there was after the [KPT] disbanded.
Try joining the factions that need more members, because right now the house is very one sided. It doesn't help that most of the factions spend 90% of their time in Bretonia either.

That sounds like an interim solution.
The activity of Kusari in general was low both before and after the trade embargo. I have played in Kusari actively since 4.83. From 4.83 to mid 4.84 it was an active house, ever since then it has always suffered from activity when it comes to official kusari faction players. Kusari trade has been active as ever for the random merchants, it was super-active during 4.83 when niboium/diamond route existed but it's still pretty active now. What has caused a change was the fact that the ore shipments from Omega-11 have stopped dramatically with the new changes to the mining mod.

Thats why we dont need more unlawfuls, cause atm they have greater numbers than KNF..
I can answer this quiet easily (I havn't been reading everyone's comments so someone may have said it before me) cut down with the embaragos, people are sick of paying fines and fines and more fines so they simply avoid kusari and look for other trade routes, cutting in the embaragos (those which are not nessecery Liberty i.e, bretonia is nessecery and understandable) and the profitable routes will be back with the activity.

Right, remove rp and make sure the most profitable trade routes are always clear for powertraders.
Actually, that does sound like a way to bring more activity to Kusari, although I don't think it's the kind of activity Kusari wants.
Why don't we ban all pirates from sigma 13 and reinstall diamonds - niobium run. Then we could lover the cap 8 price to 200mil and offer ships with 20k cargo.
YAY!
People aren't "sick" of embargoes, people are just misguided and their misguidance is making them shortsighted. That isn't such a bad thing in general because you learn best when you learn alone. However, people don't seem to like official factions and Kusari seems to love them.
What kinda makes people that want to be independent think that Kusari is a bunch of doo doo heads that spoil their fun.
But one must wonder is the rp "ruined" for powertrader because of his greed for ISK or because other person roleplayed.
