Discovery "RP" 24/7

[hixday]

Hey there folks, i've been back on this game / server the last couple of days and here's my 2 cents...

The feeling of fun is still there mixed with heavy nostalgia, I can still have a blast with this game, but sadly I think one of the only thing that is crucial and now missing is server population.
It is absolutely no surprise that the player base is much, much lower on the server, after all this game is really old.
At its core, everything is still there to have a good time but I just can't help but to feel emptiness a lot of the time, back in the days you had many opportunities for almost any kind of RP you wanted to do:
House police, piracy, border world, alien, weird sh*ts, trading/mining was more exciting and stressful because you could meet a pirate or an hostile faction at any moment. and often made you feel like having an escort / police nearby was really reassuring.

You could have good RP where ever you wanted and/or good pvp of any kind, pirate vs police , houses war, outcasts invading liberty and most importantly , active players for all of this.

Now that the player base is really low, you kind of have to run after people to have rp/fight. Sometimes in a few hours session you don't see any more than a dozen players and most of the time they are playing by themselves.

I kind of regret that I came back because I got hooked up back in immediately but can't enjoy the game like it was because in discovery, players create the opportunities / content and now I feel like the potential is there but nothing more. What struck me in your post was the fact that a lot of people nowadays really are just going over a really quick rp to jump in a fight immediatly.

Excuse my english please, I just wanted to let you know what I felt trying to get back in the server after many years.
