This may seem a bit strongly worded but:

If I want to be perfectly honest; I barely see the difference between G6 and Korvara these days beyond the fact that we actually have GM sanctioned factions run by players with some lore weight to it. Seriously, we have water pits and bar roleplay again as the prime way of getting into the public RP scene with barely any major factional conflicts going on. If anything Korvara just put a huge damper on player agency by taking tools that players could use to make events; out of the hands of the players and into a very select group of players. 

If the concern is reality bubbles and 'lore breaking', have a GM crack down on it if it really becomes an issue. Events ran by EMs already tip toe way beyond the line of what I would personally find acceptable within the scope of the lore (In Korv, said lore is mostly written by players!), so I personally can't really see that many new problems showing up beyond maybe a random house with a vending machine or zippers.

The same attitudes perpetuate and groups stick to themselves as per usual if they want to roleplay with specific people and there's honestly not much of a problem with it? If people want to curate their own fun, let em'. It harms absolutely no one because again at the end of the day: If people want to roleplay with their friends, they'll roleplay with their friends: private housing or not; they don't have to roleplay on the game itself.  There's already enough incentive to go around in public areas/hubs for RP: you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink.

Frankly speaking, just allow private housing to return with maybe only automated shopkeepers barred. Slap in housing districts for all the major cities, or have specific buildings that anyone can walk into to access their house or pull an SL1 and have the portals to your own home be placed on the overworld temporarily. I'unno, but I genuinely don't see any difference between roleplaying in some random private house or some random corner of the map so may as well.

Toffee:I think a great example of this is Lavender's House (a building north of the Vale) getting past the filter by being advertised as a neutral meeting ground before becoming just a private player house. I don't know if it's gotten use besides the occasional gathering but it's wild how that made it through.

This is legitimately mostly because the rule for no private housing had been established until after Lavender had gotten their map request. It later just... didn't really get repurposed all that well despite there being plans to.

Toffee:Something I forgot to mention about the aforementioned house is that not only was it slapped with a bunch of "this is my house" signs but also "you can't enter my house or else you'll trigger magic traps" signs which only reinforces the point. People claiming/getting their own personal, private spaces mapped and then barring it entirely from other people.

This sign had not been updated in years at this point, but even then; the 'traps' in question were only for the crops back when there was no consequence for stealing them without RPing. This has later changed since then.
