Actually population isn't really something they can truely fix. That's always going to be the choice of people playing the game, and what realm/server they chose as their main realm/server. If Mythic ever actually put into affect a system where people were not allowed to freely chose their realms, then they would most likely get sued by about 200 people, and lose every one of them. Freedom of choice being one of the biggies after all. Mythic truely has no way to go, "you can't play this realm, because it has more players than the other realms." and make it stick. It's NOT Mythic's fault at all. Again we come to the portion of laying blame where it should be laid, and not where it shouldn't.

People have the right to play in whatever realm they want to, for whatever reason they want to. We may not want them to do so, but nobody has the right to force them to go to what realm we want them to.

All the crying and whinning about population overbalance, and wanting Mythic to do something about it will only serve to aggrivate yourselves even further. The ONLY people that can do something, is you. Give people a reason to play with you, have your friends play with you, stop treating new players like they're worthless, work together FOR your realm instead of for yourselves.

So far you haven't shown a single reason why anyone would even want to join Hibernia on this server. So far you've only shown them how much you all complain, whine, and throw tantrums. Really, who would WANT to join a realm that seems to do that, and only that? Start showing them the nice side to Hibernians, if there is one, and you may actually get more people to go there. There are a great many peopel out there who love a challange, and it's deffinatly one to be a rvr Hibernian on this server. But nobody wants to play with people who only represent themselves in an extremely negative fashion.

No, people couldn't sue, Mythic can do whatever the hell they want with the game because that thing you have to click yes on before you log into the game, that's why they can ban people when it's not fully justified and what not.


Also I do think the population issue is in a great deal Mythics fault, but not entirely. It was the way Mythic presented the game, it seemed very heavily Albion based (Dark Age of [hl=yellow]Camelot[/hl} and then join a very popular Knight's name, Lancelot, why would someone join the opposing/evil sides? While we know what the game is really like now that we play it what are people suppose to think when they join the game? I think Mythic could of presented the game differently as to not have created this problem.


But Mythic can't really change that now, and there would be over populated realms on certain servers anyways but Mythic really started the problem here imo and should of thought about this ahead of time.

sirandar,

nope. good try, though.


note: jealousy gets you nowhere.


stop being a poster child for roe vs. wade. kk thanks

"Actually population isn't really something they can truely fix. That's always going to be the choice of people playing the game, and what realm/server they chose as their main realm/server."


wow, so much crap in so little space. there are lots of things mythic could do to direct people from joining alb lance that wouldn't be a hardship. like a message that pops up when u chose alb lance that says "there's no room left, are you sure you want to join?"


"If Mythic ever actually put into affect a system where people were not allowed to freely chose their realms, then they would most likely get sued by about 200 people, and lose every one of them. Freedom of choice being one of the biggies after all."


you want to direct me to the legal basis for "your right to pick your server when playing a video game" theory? cause pretty much every court would laugh at you and say "if you don't like the product, don't buy it. it's entertainment, not food, not clothing, not shelter."


"Mythic truely has no way to go, "you can't play this realm, because it has more players than the other realms.""


of course they do, rather than having a binary system of "you can join or you can't join" they could do something like... your dps is PresentDps * TotalPop /(3*RealmPop)

If people actually read the boxes, and I know to many just read the titles, then they know that it's about 3 seperate realms fighting against each other.


And of corse they are going to use a title that will catch the eye, only an idiot would blame them for it. And it is still NOT MYTHIC'S FAULT FOR WHAT PEOPLE CHOSE TO PLAY! When you get that thru your molasis(sp?) brain, you may actually sound like someone who has something worth listening to. And yes Mythic still has to abided by the laws of the country they are in. Companies and businesses have been sued, hardcore, for doing otherwise in the past. Sad fact of life, but it's still there.

Listen we know it's not Mythic's fault that people chose which realm they want to go to but that doesn't mean they didn't have a heavy influance on it.

I well I do not think they would have sold as many copies if they named the after one of the other 2 realms, so lets remember they made this game to make money.


So having said that what can the people in the other realms do to over come the problem of under population? Create a realm that welcomes new players and makes them feel like part of a community. From what I have read and heard from other players, that is not the case in Hib/Lance.

Yeah gee thanks for the tip smart guy! For someone who wasn't even a bad thought in your fathers mind during Roe vs Wade, that was very a impressive internet search.
