Player distribution [Rant?]

[Galm-1]

Another solution:
Shut down the Penn gate due to terrorist activites or something (Maybe Zoner influenced for example. Or Xenos wanting to cut off the Zoner foreigners).
Push people into other systems from Penn. This will shift all the n00bs elsewhere, which is a good thing really. New York can also encourage a more pvp type attitude, which is bad for a n00b to grow up in I think.
Overall, shift the focus away from central Sirius. Cause a giant explosion, blow up some NY tradelanes and shut down some of the gates.
Do something radical and it WILL shift people out of the system.
Linking Penn to NY was possibly a very bad idea in retrospect.

I like this idea but i think you would have to do more, or people will just stop traveling and float around Manhatten. Maybe add some violent, stronger NPC's, radiation pockets in densily populated areas, move where new chars start to someone nuetral.

It is a radical idea, but look at the numbers on the graph. radical is needed to fix this problem. And this is a problem because it is DEAD in most other systems...
