I agree with both points, the subway area kinda needless space wasted now, however the link to the forum was helpful to me too. Perhaps shrinking the area and maybe shortening the text to maybe just RP and the link to here.
Also on a side note will the room still be getting called [RP]Hotel/City or will it change to [RP] *Insert City name*?

the subway being the starting area made it so hard for me to load into the map and I crashed like half the time

Yeah loading in kicked my PC's ass too... poor things getting on a bit ;p Maybe make the subway and just have some text on the wall saying [RP] Rules, then the website

I agree with Sybil. The first time I entered the room I saw the sign and also checked out the link right away. Likewise, seeing that there was a structured format made me want to join and play along. Prior to this I had never role played before.
Last week I entered another room that was marked as [RP] that had no rules. I messaged the room owner who was online and he responded "same basic rules as other role play rooms". As a new player that lack of structure was discouraging and I soon left.

I'm not saying get rid of the message just shorten it. RP Only then link or RP only, Rules then link. or if your getting rid of the train, make it smaller and have it on the wall like a sign or poster

RP Only then link or RP only, Rules then link. or if your getting rid of the train, make it smaller and have it on the wall like a sign or poster Yeah, that could free up some resources, but just saying RP only probably won't work since, as Adrian said, lots of rooms say RP only. I can't remember what the message says now but to like...put it as concisely as I can off the top of my head...something like: RPG Room; See Rules @ (Link here) ...................... Adding the "G" would (to me at least) make it clear that it is a more structured environment than total free roleplay, but that might not be clear to everyone I suppose. If the place does end up being an island Suzie could possibly switch the starting point to a dock with a boat beside it or something. Then have that information be on a sign there; though I don't know enough about the resource and crashing issues people are having to say whether or not that would also be a strain on people's PCs. I do think the entrance should be semi-sectioned off though, and if it can be made as an entry point that makes sense: like a dock, parking lot, or road out of town I think that would be best. I'd suggest the hotel parking lot but the lettering would be pretty out of place there. Just some thoughts... (And Suzie I'm not at all implying you should be required to do this or make more changes to the map or something, just thinking out loud ^-^ )

The starting entrance is fine for me now (though I do miss the train) and having a subway system even on an Island can make sense so its not too much of an issue, and like I said if you place whatever message you want on the wall as though its a poster instead of just floating.
Hehe it's pretty funny when you gotta nit-pick this hard to find actual faults with the build, shows what a great job is being done with the map.

Pssssh I'm not nitpicking anything. I'm only saying Suzie has included some beautiful details I would hate to see go for the sake of bigger empty areas. ^-^
I am curious was was so resources intensive about the subway though.

I wasn't accusing you of nitpicking, I just meant us all in general. Like we're having to say make the sign smaller as you enter or maybe relocate the spawn, pretty mediocre thing to pick up on.

Well it was about reducing the whole size. I thought that, as it was only a starting area, it was better to remove that than some part of an used building. It start to be hard to find things to remove

hehe I was happy to deal with the lag, was a pain in the arse but I kinda miss the train and the dude warning me not to to go to the bad area, was little touches but I completely understand why they needed to go. Could you not move the bad area slightly closer instead of having that tunnel, maybe chop it down to half?
