At any one time at least 20% of server players are skulking around Manhattan. They sit there just shooting the breeze and treating Discovery like a chatroom. Sure there is rudimentary RP going on... and dedicated players like [SA], LPI and =LSF=... but mostly it's just a lot of bludgers and gasbags. The comms window scrolls up so quickly you miss half of the inane blathering, which is a blessing sometimes.
I say we make a new system called "New York II", which is a copy of NY and replaces it in our new universe. We then cut all gates from "NY Classic" except one, and here is where noobs start. They can ponce about all they want, leaving the NY II to dedicated RP'ers.
Either that or give LPI powers to move players on, enact laws against loitering.... "Move along, nothing to see here..."
