So the only time i've seen Crossfire get "busy" is when Events were happening. That's great! but within an hour of the event ending the entire server is a ghost town.
So what if we made some RP based events?
How would that work you might ask? Well instead of two random teams performing a task, the teams are divided by RP. In essence, 4 teams. Each would have a task that would effectively interfere with another teams objectives.
For example, Lets say the region of play is Liberty. The goal would be the Smuggler team has to deliver BMGs from point A to Point B. They have to avoid Police, pirates and mercenaries. One way or another, The police would end up battling pirates because that's just how it is and smugglers and BHs would walk out rich.
However the RP is ultimately limited to your imagination and the RP rules would be somewhat relaxed to create a more realistic feel. Current server rules prohibit pirates (or anybody) from opening fire on another ship that hasn't one way or another consented to the possibility of being blown up. With this RP Event, Pirates would be able to ambush a smuggler convoy without demanding a tax. Police could be authorized to use lethal force on a down and out bounty hunter who's high on cardamine and ready to self destruct his ship in a populated area. the relaxed server rules (during the duration of the event) would only apply to the sector in which was being used for the event
The reason I think it might be good to have an RP based event once a week because then it would show new players or players who just come for the TDM events what else Crossfire has to offer. Each week can be a different scenario in a different Sector. I say make it an event because there usually isn't enough players who understand Crossfire enough that it isn't Discovery to know that it's an RP server and you can't avoid it (unless in approved areas). I Remember when SFP went corrupt and cause everyone headaches....that might have just been Gunny causing drama but thats not the point, lol.
I would be so down to be the one to organize, plan and manage these kinds of events but only if there is enough interest.
