More players more interactions, more piracy, more noob pirates to be able to escape from
100% right on that one. Wierdly enough there are sure ways to increase interest and bring up player population but there is a simple refusal to entertain any serious change. Its a shame because the place basically died for no reason but bad decisions on how to utilize the game for players.
Its simple, no one trades much anymore because there's little to no reason behind any of it. There also seems to be people here that think the hayday of this place is passed so we should just let it go. The belief this mod shrank up over its age is totally off.
We don't use the game or the world for anything real and don't allow for a fairly applicable system by which player factions can actually try to grow and have impact. For anyone in power who cares, we can save this place, people just need to let the old line of thinking go, and accept some real change is needed. Ironically, it seems that because I didn't beg and treat some people here like 'gods' they locked themselves into ignoring me and my suggestions, when it was the most obvious choice of any proposal made to bring up activity in years. It actually seems like they refused to budge to spite one individual.
Basically we need a change in leadership, and need a single leader for once that's actually on the forums, involved and follows the events of the server. There is no real reason for this place to be so dead, and I won't be one of the doublethinkers that try to get people to not care and love every rework even though they suck and typically ruin things we knew so well for years. Back in the day, caring about what happened to a planet or station, or the fate of a House, was all we did, and that was fun. It was immersive roleplay and pvp. Maybe if we changed back to the old server, we'd get the old server back. Allow for more freedom, more people will return. Shrinking things drove people away and is almost always short sighted.
