I don't think that LSRP has to shift its focus to squarely on "legal" rp, but I do think that people aren't giving LSRP enough credit for the potential it may have in competing in the legal scene. To my understanding, and from my experience on World, in this day and age many of the consistently ran businesses are ran by Organized Crime groups rather than civilians. It seems a lot of civilians on the server have either left, or are focused on another kind of Roleplay. Some of this is because of groups like PM and FM which can hamper civilian RP, and end up encouraging other kinds of rp. With a fresh start a lot of people could be looking to start up businesses and enjoy a new environment.
I think what Freedom Fighter said was dope was well.
