A Short Exposition on What Roleplay Is and Isn't

[n00bl3t]

We have player factions that are supported by administration essentially locking off entire areas to a majority of character types as long as, through their already superior firepower, they can enforce it and make an excuse for it that isn't actually RP'd in game, though it might be justified in the forums.

The forums themselves are a river of flotsam with occasional eddies where amusement may gather. 90% of the threads I've seen have devolved into arguments based on "no your RP is wrong!" between one group and another.

I can't really see why most of the group would want to stay around at this point. It may be possible to pan for gold, but I'm not sure it's worth doing so in polluted waters.

The player factions in their entirety seem to be more focused on consolidating their power and hoarding their systems than actual RP - Even if there is RP on the forums or not, that's what I see in game. Especially the Player Navies and Player Police are very concerned with "who owns what Capital ship" and "who has my permission to be in System X" This is the sort of thing I think of a political dictator doing, only this time they're aligned with someone who can remove you from the planet (server). I think there would be less power inherient in many player factions if the Admins didn't run these large, overbearing, powergaming factions who try to consume independant players and remove rights.

Even if it doesn't exist, there's a clear reason for people to see a conflict of interest. In fact, this server seems very much intent on maintaining a status quo where certain people have power, making it very hostile to new players.

And that is why I and my friends who came along with Hatred felt the need to go elsewhere. And I do not think we were the first who were disgusted in this vein, and if things do not change, I do not think we will be the last.

Wow. I am truly lost for words.

Kudos.

I'm sorry to see you leave because of such actions.

If you ever come back or decide you want to stay PM me and I'll help out.:)

It's not a conspiracy, it's localised bias. They're not intelligent enough to form a conspiracy.
