Is Sirius too big?

[Echo 7-7]

The NPC factions and story can exist without sucking up 2-3 people each. Do we really need a Cryer player faction? REALLY?

So you're saying it's a bad thing that people want to RP.

Next you'll suggest Admins make our characters for us and allocate which factions we have to join just to fill an arbitrary quota.



This is not a solution. If people don't want to play as Cryer, they won't. If they do want to, then allow them to do so. The idea that membership in one faction prevents you from joining others is ludicrous. You just need a decent number of people contributing equal amounts of time, not a small number putting in lots of time, for stability and the possibility for participation in multiple factions.


Edit: there exists a special relationship between rate of encounters and diversity of encounters. You need to create a balance between the two, not sacrifice one for the sake of the other.

Down-edit: you don't need a player to be present just to uphold the validity of a faction or their RP. It would be nice if we could always have a certain number of players per faction always online but we'd need a server cap of 1000, not 225.
