I don't see how any of those arguments could be applied against conn, however I do see that in my last post (not the one you quoted) there are arguments that could be used against conn.

The difference is that Conn is deliberately branded as an oorp-system to begin with, it doesn't pretend to be a rp system. Conn has an actual purpose, namely honing your skills in a manner that is non-intrusive to other players. When conn was more difficult to access you would for instance have tonnes of outcasts pewing each other in front of Malta all day long, and that sort of broke immersion for those players who weren't training but still were active in the system.

That being said, I would be in favor of shutting down conn in return for "war zones" with a reduced death penalty scattered around the game world (as suggested before in a thread a while back).

Creating an isolated pocket of players who do not wish to participate in RP (at that time), hurting the rest of the server.

All I'm suggesting is adding some RP bits to conn in an area far away from those who are pvping.

Yeah I quoted the wrong post, will edit.

But why do you insist on wanting an oorp system to RP in? It totally defies the purpose, really. And what holds you back from typing /conn now and going to green station or somewhere non-crowded and rp your socks off? You don't need to put a grand big label on it, you can just go do it if it is so vital or useful.

I agree that conn can sometimes be too populated, but I already said I wouldn't mind conn exchanged for "war zones" so the casual shooting can be in-RP shooting.

I don't see how it'd break things, anyway. Except for one thing - all kinds of trading/codeselling/profit/base building/etc activities should be strictly forbidden in it. Escaping into it from combat would mean a PvP death as well.

I definitely wouldn't use it, but there're those who would, so I wouldn't mind. Question is, how to set it up properly.
