Hi, I'm in the other 3 people faction on an island barely anyone visits, including other islands.
I enjoy it, but I fully understand that island RP is not for everyone. It is basicly saying that you exist but have fucked off to extreme privacy because there is just a new issue on the mainland at all times. It feels like yes, it is not for the main-character crowd so to say, but it feels like they are excellent at housing the side-characters and letting them lose with a box of legos without the worry of a sudden antag death magi coming in and ending them.
That said, I think the problem isn't island nations themselves. I think the issue is the ocean, which is often a grand load of nothing with a side-dish of 'even if you sail past someone, you cannot interact with them'. It has happened more than once that I rowed past/together with like someone from morningstar/deathwind and it was just, ok, we conveniently ignore each other because we cannot interact with each other.
My one suggestion for ocean rp would therefore just be that. Make the ocean somewhat more dangerous/interactive between players. That's it.
