This is purely to gauge public reaction/engagement and to gather suggestions to improve the server if a wipe happens. It's not a content update, it's not indicative of a future wipe, it's literally just a 3 day period on a different database to give people a chance to test the waters.
I think it would a cool area, but would end up spreading out the players even more, which is the opposite of what we want. As it is, even when the server is full it feels like I barely see people except in Athira.
Explosives can still kill you in cop restraints. If anybody with a rook could rescue someone in custody, no one would be processed, ever. It might not make sense from a roleplay standpoint, but it's super important for balance.
