Alright, how about leaving the system for good? I know there are a bunch of characters that HAVE to be there, but there are people that can live without it. New York got so uninteresting for me that all my characters but two [M] ships that keep stationed there are out.
My trader circle around Liberty without entering it. My personal bank character is now stationed in Rheinland (he is a Rheinlander anyway, just decided it was time to go back home).
I only log with my New York stationed Mandalorian ships when there are defined targets on or when the police/military there is actually outnumbered or in need of help.
As someone pointed out. I avoid the system like the plague. Maybe the people pointing out that NY should be less populated should remove themselves from the system, they're part of the problem. Even if they aren't ooRPing/PvPing there, they're adding to the population, making the system more attractive to the people looking for the crowds.
- Take out the banks (move them to Conn if you can't really have them farther away);
- Don't linger when creating a new character;
- Ban the armories from Manhattan;
- Liberty faction PCs, PLEASE, don't add up to the OOC chat. I've said this once and will point out again. A lot of faction PCs are doing the exact same thing everyone is criticizing. They reply to OOC in system chat with OOC in system chat. These people should know better. It doesn't matter who started, from those looking, it's just the same.
Get away from Liberty already. Bretonia and Kusari are blooming with stuff to do.
