Agreed with most stuff Omicega said here. Since I returned I actually actively tried to seek interactions with everyone that seemed interested with ingame RP and there's always certain groups of players whose the usual response or reaction is ignoring you completely or telling you to get lost, which makes me wonder why even logging in a public server and doing that ingame, when they could be doing their RP unbothered in their own private servers or just on Discord directly (which would seem some already do as I do not see them on the player list that much, either that or they burned out, if that's the case no wonder why they did).
I dunno, seems natural that they have a lot of history and it's hard to RP with new people unaware of it -again in terms of actual benefit to the server of the long RP era in cliques they don't really add much else than e.g. powertraders, but they aren't harming anyone either - just let them do their thing? And yeah there are players who enjoy the legal aspect of lawful in game roleplay, there's maybe 3 of us on the server
Edit: when it comes to forum and in game reports, most newcomers actually love patrolling, catching smugglers etc oh house lawfuls - most vets find it tedious however
