You think surface rp could be better?

Not really any fun in it, thats why people join CI, to murder their friends that are on foundation.
That is where the fun is on surface.
Why update surface Lol? I mean it'd only add Rp for:
Civies
UNGOC
CI
DEA
NU7
Dclass who escape to surface
SCPs who escape to surface
Surface SCPs
So it'd benefit absolutely no one at all. Not a single person whatsoever.

Surface combines the two worst environmental factors. Night-time, and Snow. You never see any other servers, or games combining these two factors as a primary design because its boring as fuck and has no way of being interesting.
Of course, they have denied any and all suggestions for a better surface setting since I joined 2 and a half years ago because of stubbornness or some other silly reason, I'm sure.
Honestly, if they just changed surface to a more interesting environment like an day-time urban setting or something, then that would also increase RP capabilities and make it a million times less boring than it currently is. It would also fix the issue of the ugly draw distance and fog.
Additionally it could also mean more jobs could be added if wanted, and more interesting GM events.

I actually really like the setting, I never understood the dislike. Its dreary, it's cold, it's harsh, it's the perfect setting for an SCP game. Changing to daytime wouldn't affect any of the actual issues that keep surface from being playable.
However, a larger surface map would be nice. Pinewood needs to be much more built up with a complete revamp of civilian jobs.
Capture the point areas would ensure a constant back and forth between the factions on surface, giving actual goals to PVP that aren't just sniping ppl from across the map for 10 xp.
AFAIK, however, surface isn't being looked at any time soon in any real capacity, which is tragic.
Yeah the setting is good from a lore and story perspective, but from a gameplay perspective, its the worst.
I only really suggested day-time if it was urban. Day-time snowy setting would make it even worse I imagine. Though as you have said, a new map setting wouldn't fix every issue, as its deeper than that.
I haven't heard anyone outright say it but I guarantee their reasoning is that 'most people RP within the foundation', and the cause of that is precisely because of them neglecting surface. If they actually put more effort into surface then I reckon a lot of people would move to surface RP more frequently, if only to get away from foundation RP for a bit.
Not to imply the devs are lazy or anything- I know they're working hard on other things.
