I was ponderin this question for quite a long time...
There were a number of times that this problem has inhibited my ability to RP to the fullest... I think it applies to everyone, and which may explain why nobody talks in stations to RP...
The problem is that if you stay in one spot too long, you get disconnected in a matter of minutes, with a message that the server has disconnected you... There were already a number of times this has made my day...
1.) The time when I was RPing over with the captain of the Liberty Assault BattleCruiser, where I was RUDELY interrupted by an unseen disconnection (the forum link to the details of the incident was deleted).
2.) I was having a nice chat in the bar over on Thalmes Outpost with a friend, and I was suddenly disconnected just for staying in the station for a time (it was going good, the RP value was great at the place too)
I am totally discouraged to perform to the fullest of my RP ability, knowing I can't even read the Colony News Network for the latest headlines in-game, let alone talk to someone in the bar.
I would REALLY like to know why this is happening, and the reasons for it to do so... It is highly unjustifiable that I get disconnected just because I stay in a station and drink my daily coffee while reading the news!!!
(edit) oh... and HOW THE HELL DID IT LIST INTO FACTION RECRUITMENT, WHEN IT IS A BUG IN THE MOD!!!!????
