Liberty is a safe place. My Eagle got destroyed by some NPCs in less than a second after jumped out of a hole in Omega 52. Didn't have enough time to look bottom left of the screen to see who did that (though I know). Being a newbie here if I decide to go to the the less popular corners of Sirius, it would be with someone else who knows where and how are we going.

I'd say 'who said things like that' but trial by forum.
But here some thoughts on the matter:
- Liberty is Liberty. You have to dig through a mound of proverbial excrement to find the RP diamonds.

When it comes to the server specifically, it is more about the gameplay rather than the RP itself,
- I have to agree with this. I've found most 'conversational' and 'long form' RP is done on the forums or the RP skype channels some factions have. Also, Zayne was right is saying actions are also RP, not just words.
- people should be encouraged to get out of liberty and do stuff in the other houses (gallia notwithstanding, because... Gallia). Dont know how that could be done though.
- While cap controls would be nice, the time for that passed years ago.

Swallow said it before, but make it interesting enough to catch people. If it's good Rp, Rp'ers will be drawn to it.

You go to O-52 without the right rep, of course you're going to die. But Liberty is far from safe. Nowhere is 'safe'. Dont just lurk around Liberty, go explore. the other houses, the omicrons.

Go and take a break. Week, two, how much you will need. It´s summer, go on trip or something. If you will miss the Disco, return. If not, find some other place where you will have fun. Simple as that. Telling us all how poor we are at RP because it doesn´t meet your standards is no way to go. Apart from fact that as some other people mentioned, there still is RP out there, despite sometimes it´s not easy to find it.
Uh, and this.

What's this? I do not understand you.
People go to populated places because it is easier for them to find what they want. That is, interaction, in form of RP or PvP or anything. They do not want to fly some empty space for hours to finally have a chance to meet someone who could also be a total lolwut.
Gallia is empty because it is stupid. Because the server population can not support Gallia. It could never properly support Gallia. And because it is placed at a very inconvienent place.
When you have more systems and factions than the avarage number of players online through the day, something is wrong.
The amount of faction leaders and the factions that do not really do much is damn too high.
If you want an amazing gameplay experience, whether it is RP or PvP, lock everyone in Liberty. You'll find a lot more things to do in a day.

If you are saying I am elitist, I'm done with this thread and you people.
I am pretty shocked that what should be standard of the roleplaying is called elitist. It's pointless to discuss it further then. I wanted to point something out and while few people agreed on, it ended up in further disappointment.

rather than locking everyone in liberty, start pushing people out of Liberty. If you lock everyone into Liberty, you might as well just make it a PVP server.

You are being elitist, yes.
Guess what, there is no standard.

Haters are going to hate, but believe it or not this is the magic pill that would completely revive this game.

Bringing this back to the OP
To be fair, higher quality RP is sadly a bit rarer on the server from what I've seen. Factions like LN and XA thankfully offer some reprieve from this RP-drought, but when the majority of the RP on the server is "lol 2mil or dai" or "lol ur red dai nao", then there is kinda a problem.

Nothing fixes itself on it's own; it takes people admitting that there's a problem and actually doing something about it to fix larger issues like these.

Yeah figured it ot the hard way.
Tried some exploring last evening. There were about 10 people in Omicron Delta and I wondered why. So took all the way from Omega 49 - nothing to worry when you are a Zoner, just lots of alt/tab-ing to check the maps. Do you know what I found there? Some people shooting at each other near Freeport 11. Sorry but my fighting skills way way behind most of yours so the smartest thing I could do was... get the hell out of this place. Exactly what I did.
