Greetings Discovery.

I am speaking out to all of you, and while this may not be taken as true for
some people, I've met a lot who will confirm what I have to say.

Every time I see someone leaving, most often it is because they lost interest.

Why? I'll tell you why.

First thing, don't mind me saying and all, I'm a direct man,
Elitists, be it admins, players or their friends, they take it for granted
to abuse their powers just because they have a higher status in the community
than normal members. ( That's everything I'll say about it, some may get what I'm
talking about some may not. )

Second thing, I have seen over the last year very few factions who try to keep
a high level of roleplay in game, mostly it is forum written and everyone is out
hunting for money or "looking for some PvP", if you are, then get out
this is not a PvP server, it's called 24/7 RP for a reason, but nobody takes it seriously.

First example, people shouldn't even go on "raids" be it Gamma or Alpha,
this isn't WoW, this is a game where realism plays a big part of it,
and "raiding Gamma" with 5 ships getting trought and saying some lousy
excuse for it while shooting 2 Corsair players near their base just doesn't cut it.
( This is just an example I could've taken Alpha with sairs shooting up outcasts,
same thing )

Again if you're looking for PvP go to Connecticut for all I care, but all I know
is that when I want to chill out, looking for some RP around, in 75% of cases
I get PvP'd and with such a small dose of RP that it makes me sick just
thinking about that person.

This is the answer to people who constantly ask me why I don't come on and play.
I'm SICK of it, the excuses, the get-arounds just for some no brainer to go on a killing spree
and shout "Cannibals Canibals!" or "Cardi Sniffers Cardi Sniffers!"

NOW THATS SOME GOOD RP AINT IT?

U mad.

But I'll give the obvious answer, RPing isn't having a nice peaceful conversation while drinking tea.

No, it isn't.

Or they leave because the mod doesn't interest them anymore.

Also, RP and PvP can involve each other. You can't just draw a great big metaphorical line between all RP and all PvP. RP isn't just talking; it can involve shooting each other as well.

Nope, it isn't, I didn't even made that kind of statement.

About that, I'm not, I'm just pointing out why people lose interest ( mostly the ones I know )

Then I fail to see the reason to your argument.

How many people DO you know?

Side note: Freelancer isn't realistic. Discovery does not change this.
