(Quote from Anatta)Hello Anatta ,I have been playing CF since 2010-11, and if any GR-tagged characters were online, there was mostly 1-2 at a time. With years even one GR became a rare sight, and today, due to clans' low activity, one can hardly ever meet serverpolice at all.Here is the list of current GRs: Server Police - SWAT PortalOnly 3 of them are more or less active now, as far as I know.I am saying all this just to inform you that the problem you are describing has long been solved or dis…

(Quote from guenni7)Hi guenni7.Assuming you were talking about the "strongly encouraged" donation in IOC Member Program (link), it never was obligatory. I personally would have removed that line entirely because it always causes questions from new members. But this is clan leader's decision and, maybe, the line was kept for historic value. The clan info was written by our respected founder Centaurian and remains mostly unchanged since then.Just like Tomigang, I have never heard of obligatory don…

3rd post in a row today, I will try to finally reply on topic. I think the server is currently caught in a vicious circle:low population => rare opportunity for traditional MP activities (i.e. helping newbies, co-op trading, co-op NPC hunting, hanging out with clanmates, joining RP battles) => no reason to stay online => more people become inactive.The apparent solution is to somehow make the game interesting even with low number of people, then the circle will be broken and the population will …

(Quote from SWAT_OP-R8R)I decided to try something RP-related when back in game, just didn't mention it in the post. Probably the case is similar for others.I am sure your message reached everyone and was fully understood. (Also by people who read the topic but didn't reply, which is the majority.)Anyway, results will only be seen in time. We just need to wait and not give up too early.

I suggest to close this thread and leave only the first post. After reading it again, I realized that OP-R8R didn't ask for comments and ideas but only called people to act.The key points were:1. CF needs long term activities for players and clans specifically.2. Each clan needs a task which violates interests of other clans.3. Armed RP action between clans / players should be advertised to attract more people.4. All players are asked to help as much as they can.Next goes a lengthy discussion wh…

(Quote from guenni7)Hi guenni7,it is not so black-and-white in reality.As a smuggler, you can't attack other players, but you still have to defend yourself from pirates, police and mercs, to defend your home system, your clanamates and trade companions. And if you want a fight, you can put a bounty on someone to attract their attention (this will also get mercs involved). Finally, Arena is always open if want PvP really bad (and there are PvP events too).As a pirate or police, you can make money…

(Quote from LancelotOnCrack)In situations 2 and 3 (they are actually the same case). You cannot go to Arena when somebody is chasing you.

(Quote from LancelotOnCrack)If you are not hunted to your knowledge, you may go to Arena of course. In that case, the person chasing you will need to send you(Quote from LancelotOnCrack) and then you must exit Arena, return the compliments and be free again.(Quote from LancelotOnCrack)(Quote from LancelotOnCrack)No, you are not. As per the elder scroll you quoted next, anyone can ask you to go out for a moment. RP interaction is usually just a single dogfight, so you will be free in no time and …

(Quote from ILIYAN)It is a "no" to both questions. Only when a merc comes for your bounty and informs you of his intention, then you are not allowed to be in Arena until this is settled.

(Quote from ILIYAN)You cannot refuse. If this sounds like a violation of your freedom, think about it from the merc's perspective... You are a merc. You come online, see a bounty, go for it, and then the target says "I refuse". (Quote from ILIYAN)Normally the person who collects the bounty is completely unrelated to the person who placed it, he just comes for the credits.(Quote from ILIYAN)Not for everyone, mind you. The rule about Arena has been there for last 10 years, if I remember right. Nob…

Martind Forlon , SWAT_OP-R8R If such discussions keep arising and going nowhere, obviously something is not right.A merc/pirate/cop who wants to RP with a person in Arena must ask them to go out (according to the rules, though nowhere stated explicitly). However, if the target doesn't want to go out, the merc/pirate/cop can equally well do his job in Arena, and both sides will be happy. Generally, it makes little sense to move between systems just because of the difference between RP and OoRP f…
