new rules for NY system?

[Archelon]

I noticed this was your first post. Welcome to Disco.

Changing NY into a RP/PVP zone has been cussed and discussed for a very long time. Yes it is a place for new folks to learn the rules and such, which is why there's a rule that you cannot kill players under level 30.

The reason we need NY open for RP is that most days nearly 50% of the server population is actually in NY and are not playing the game. They are in chat room mode or doing other OORP (out of role play) activities. We have 128 slots for people to login and play and have actually had that many logged in at once. So for people to come here and go into chat room mode is taking up a slot for someone that would actually like to play the game. Also, for pirates (like my characters), its annoying to see all those high level traders (levels 50+) sitting around NY. In order for a pirate to role play, he needs traders to pirate. Kinda hard when they're all hovering above Manhattan and I can do nothing but fly by and watch.
