Everyone will make chars for the sole purpose of raiding whole systems, grouping together with like minded individuals to silent engage and kill everyone they see, limiting in-game RP to a minimum. The guy who tries to type a few words will die before he gets to finish the sentence. And since this will be a normal happening, he'll stop even trying.
RP will be exclusive to closed little groups, circlejerking and assuming everyone is out to get them all the time. The ones who are not lucky enough or do not like the idea of being in a group all the time will be left out in the cold, and never get to have some RP.
Those closed groups will get smaller and smaller eventually, and die off a lot quicker than they'd normally. And the place will become a pvp heaven for the pvp lovers who think that RPing is an awful thing in the first place.
I've nothing against pure pvp people. I pvp all the time. However, as far as I know, this server's purpose has always been to be a platform for RPing people to have their 'stupid' RPs, favoring them and giving them time to write out their things before they get to the dying part. And it's cool. I like it. I do not need to immerse myself by shooting everyone on sight.
The policy was never to turn the place into a pvp place. If that changes, to increase the population, maybe, sure, your idea is good. But so far, Disco was meant to be a place for type type people to come and type in a slightly modified freelancer universe.
