NEW MAP

[Mustang]

Although I haven't played in a few months, I still feel as if I'm entitled to my opinion on this as I'll hopefully be returning soon.

I feel as if V2D is the way forward, even though most of you see it as a step back. The common complaint I noticed while playing, and when looking at the forums frequently has been that rp is rare, aggressive RP has taken a hit, there's nowhere to passive RP as there's not enough players etc etc, well for one, I feel that an updated V2D will solve this problem. This is based on a few reasons just off the top of my big fat head, one reason would be that in V2D RP is more concentrated, the city is smaller, and therefore there will be more passive RP's concentrated beside each other (Shops etc) and therefore allow for further interaction between players. Secondly, older players will come back, possibly not for a long time, but I can assure you that some older friends 'n' foes will come back for a period of time to play on their beloved V2D, where they learnt to role-play on. Thirdly, V2D has space for aggressive RP and passive RP to run close enough together, but far enough apart. Many players will have a range of dupes to use for both aggressive RP and passive RP already made, and therefore integrating into a new map will also be more efficient and smooth for the player-base.

V2D may not be your choice, and I know for previous map discussions in the past it hasn't been mine, but with limited numbers actually roleplaying now, having a closer concentration of RP can only be good for FL, and I don't see any adverse effects of adding this map.

Edit: Also agreeing with previous points that map testing should be used, after all, although my current vote is V2D or the updated V2D, the actual outcome cannot be judged by the crystal ball that we all hold, and testing will be the only way to know the true opinion of everyone after they've played on the maps.
