Now, I'm not going to say these things are bad. But some of these things would impact the game and it's community in a pretty big way. Let me explain:

Allow player characters to assume positions of power – to actually play characters already established by lore, or completely new ones engendered by players themselves. If a player, for some reason, needs to abandon a character with significant pull in the plot or in the world as a whole, I suggest making sure that the characters always have logs of things they say and do (likely kept in a file in the game, of course), which can then be reviewed by the new player assuming the character and going from events that have transpired.

This one is the most dangerous. Why? People. Specifically people who constantly talk about roles and things. This is giving too much freedom to the players and let's not forget some people in this community are rather egotistical as it is already. The community is primarily divided into cliques as it is right now. This would not help RP as it would simply impliment something such as a class warfare and other things. You may -think- you want to RP such things but you do not. Because those who end up getting outdone and ousted out of their roles will simply complain OOCly what not and claim corruption and other silly propaganda. Really, we have things like this already. Such as the silly rumor that Slydria is brainwashed by Soapy, whom alot of people hate for no real reason. This would only get worse.

Not to mention, from Dev's point of view, if I made a character and a lore I wouldn't want people to just come in and erase it.

Allow players, through admin supervision and event forum applications, to create events that could significantly affect the world or portions of the world – wars, infrastructure changes, reconstruction, advancements, technological innovations, companies – all those great things.
Allow typical characters created by players to go “from the bottom to the top”. Change can be very dramatic and radical – and if a character garners enough of a following, even a political powerhouse could go down and a new leader could reign supreme.

This one is again another one that's good on paper. But we all know no one would really enjoy this. Because all that's going to happen is whomever gets to the top will just do things out of their own interests and people who don't like it (OOCly more than likely) will grow angry form a rebellion and then charge. This is a problem because of the rule of needing player permission to kill characters. Not everyone wants their characters to die in any case. And them being forced to have theirs killed off will cause them to complain about it OOCly to the admins who will then have to deliberate on a conclusion. If you think I'm lying I'd like to point out this kind of thing has happened a few times in SL2 already. And with everyone RP'ing trying to be something important (because who wouldn't) This. Would. Be. Widespread.

Not to mention that like a certain other RP game there could be a new brand of metagame introduced. Where someone without power ICly does 'something oocly' to/for someone in power to obtain a position/item they otherwise wouldn't have gotten. And don't even get me staaaarted about the favoritism.

TL;DR: SL2 isn't a game for immersive RP. In my opinion, it's just a lighthearted RP game for people to RP, have fun,
kill shit and maybe trade items. Not to overcomplicate the world Dev wrote just because some people want to feel more important than they actually are. If you want to be able to influence things go to Eternia, where all of these things are implimented already and let the people who have the ability to RP within' the world as it currently is.

P.S. There's really nothing stopping events anyway. Sawrock's mutant invasion and Fern's Mechanation attacks happened.

I'm done and not gonna reply because I don't argue over the forums being I'm RP'ing right now. Seeyas.
