Except that new players would see tons of empty castles that are only ever used for RP on their owners' convenience. People don't just "stay at home and wait for RP".

 

We already have these. At the very least, some of them can be used for RP.

The more emptiness players see the worse. I prefer them walking through a bland forest to RP in Johannesburg over walking past ten unused shitty cobble cubes.

So find people to occupy the existing ones before proceeding to create more of them.

Why fracture RP into tiny sub-factions, sub-communities where you can just keep them together?

Because different races exist, with different cultures and styles of rp. Instead of forcing everybody who doesn't have a small group of rp into Johannesburg, or Liandria, you can enjoy the other races that aren't very active in their main cities.

We aren't talking about races, we're talking about shattering races into further settlements and factions.

Again, because most of the people just idle in their main cities, that are very large; while others are practically forced into these cities, and their racial culture. Instead, why not get some smaller places, put all different players of  the same race into one settlement together; and then develop their character, making the whole place revolve around that one race. Show the uniqueness of it.

<People just idle in their main cities

<Seeks to move them to smaller settlements

<Expects them not to idle there

 

Missing link is why-ever you think people would idle less in less-populated regions.

Less populated regions with a population they can easily connect to, and easily converse with, instead of just ignoring one another.

You mean, a block of houses? Or a tavern in a larger city? Or a guild in a larger city?

retention has been **** forever, its always been known and readicti tried her hardest to maximise it in every respect even making the application process piss easy. it's not realistic to think it can be improved much in honesty.

Has anyone been ******* smart enough to give squirtgun AT again??

[Andustar 4143]

Wow, this is the most open minded thing I've ever seen on this server. I hope we can all learn from your research squirt.

[chaotikal 2392]

The reason for new players leaving is obvious, and it's kind of insulting for you to say "we can't put our finger on it" when it's been a problem for over 4 years and one that's been talked out against. I'm not even gonna bother pointing it out anymore. but it is an obvious problem.
