Can anyone explain the Cons of instancing this stuff to me? The only one I can think of is it lowers immersion a bit. But the benefits are that housing becomes more accessible and doesn't disappear if you have to go for whatever reason.

The way I see it, a soldier deploying for a year being able to keep their stuff as it was when they left sort of trumps the reasons for not instancing.

The (RP) tag on a Roleplaying server attracts trolls like a moth to flame. Its a well known fact that RPers buy items for higher prices due to glamours. In addition to the fact it brings in all sorts of 'other' players. The fact that you have unofficial servers actually curbs it a bit. Unfortunately those servers just got too big.
