Wars are actually a <3 and could boost the activity. But to be successful it (even current BAF <== Gallia ==> LNS) would require one side to log a group and stay in comfortable place --> away from hostile bases --> for quite a while and for some days to make people actually realise that something is coming. If repeated daily for eg. a week it should create something stable, but the problem is everyone has his/her own life and spending some time in FL daily isn't possible.
The current problem with this war is that if one side logs, the other one didn't log or noone logs at all. Also maybe expanding GRN ID to california would bring the fun closer
Like back to 2014 everyone knew that around 17-18-19 UTC something is going to happen and logged their ship whether there were LNS / RNC around or not. But it was repeated daily for quite a while and Liberty also was the most active place, so raiding them was much easier than forcing them to go eg.to Magellan
Also Maggie isn't such a bad place - whether one side dies, it can continue playing:
a) Libertonians in NY and its surroundings
b) Gauls can raid NL / Leeds instead
