My largest gripes with the game are a sheer lack of presence in larger officially public areas, I can't change nor do I want to change the behaviors of players who hang out in houses in their own little groups, its completely natural for players to want to flock to their friend groups and mingle among them, hell thats most of where my roleplay comes from anyways. However the Arena and Cellsvich are devoid of in character activity nearly constantly now. (The former of which likely due to some recent pvp balance changes)
We exist with a playerbase just large enough to feel active but just small enough to where if people grow sick of these places then they are completely empty almost.
Just because you might be able to go out and engage with those players in these houses doesn't mean you will always feel like your character might belong, as someone who likes to cycle between 2-3 characters at a time actively I find it hard to want to create a new character when I know I have to associate it to something to remotely hope of getting roleplay.
