My opinion on why the game has constantly been losing players

Tbh, he might be right with /conn and it is funny.

When we gathered around Malta in the past, I don't care how much you disliked seeing people dueling and calling it 'simulations' in RP, but it made people gather there as Outcasts, and after a few duels, it ended up with the group moving on to the surrounding systems to take on other factions.

Those people also simulated duels 'inRP' and meanwhile were contributing to the RP environment while they were not dueling. They also added an active population to their system and any faction that wanted to interact with the outcasts, like the Corsairs that gathered huge fleets and raided very often, they had a reason to with the active pop there.

/conn is off course not the only reason for the loss of population around Malta, and might even be less significant compared to the other reasons whatever they might be, but it is funny how the pop died off there about the same time as the introduction of that server command.
