like many others here, I simply avoid NY like the plague. (heh, a play on words for me. 'look Ma!...No Brains!')
Anyway, If I'm trading, I barley ever take routes that pass through Liberty, & usually if I ever see NY, it's to head out of the Manhattan docking ring & straight for the door in a new character.
As much as we complain about all the crap that goes on in NY, the way I see it, it's just simply unavoidable.
Disco's popularity is HUGE & people naturally gravitate towards the largest & most populated server.
a few days ago, I was in Bretonia & was being a nice guy answering a lvl 20-something noob's questions about how to make more credits...long story short, I gave the answers & repeatedly reccomended they join the forums, assuring them that the fun factor of the game increases by a factor of 10 when they get to know the people on it.
After about 15-20 minutes, (although as polite as he/she could be) said that he/she would never join cause it seemed too much like work.
(15-20 minutes i'll never get back)
No matter how many rules we have, & no matter how much we try to help the noobs understand the server RP concept, there will ALWAYS be a huge number of people excited to try out Igiss's mod, skip all the tedious rule-reading, & just look forward to killing something ASAP.
Most of them just simply disappear after a while. The ones that stick around do so because they 'get it' & are the reason we play on the best server this game has to offer.:cool:
