No new shops/businesses or other enterprises, that could cause non-political Full RP conflict.
There's very little room for any Medium-Sized conflict on Korvara.
Personal conflicts are often very much small scale, you don't really want more than like 4ish people to participate in them, and most often it's just you and a bud writing a story together.
medium conflicts sort of.. don't have any room to exist in Korvara currently as is.. Every piece of land is owned by a nation, so often there's little room for places for antagonistic forces to exist, if they do, and cause any amount of problems, it often becomes a nations problem, and calls for larger scale conflict, and often these smaller factions have very few options for other smaller factions to butt heads with, which becomes more difficult due to the lack of theming around.
Korvara lacks religion in general, so any kind of religious faction is often stifled, it also doesn't really have any kind of 'race' or rather existence which would be an affront to others like say the undead races, who's existence calls for conflict.
Then comes the question of who you even can butt heads with? It's mostly just.. nations.
And really most of what you can make that will get conflict is is simply bandits or criminals, you can try and make a cult, but we get in to religion problem once more, so in the end, IMO it feels like there's simply not that many options for anything in between huge conflict and small conflict.
SL2 certainly could do with lots of things that enrich roleplay...I love new classes as much as the next guy, but I think we have more pressing problems.
So I am certainly also looking forward to what Dev is cooking on the backburner.
