One challenge that I have with the bonus/penalty (#1) is that it harms more than those who hop to follow battles/relics but also those who switch every few days to play alts that they love to play. This second group is not technically a hopper chasing relics or battles but for 4 days they have fun with their alb toons and then they find they are missing their Mid toons and Mid guild and Mid friends so they log in Mid for 3-5 days. Then they begin to miss their Hib toons/Hib friends/Hib guild . . . . .


IMO if a penalty is going to be developed, and make no mistake a bonus to one group is a penalty to all others who do not get the bonus, then the penalty needs to be more specific and only harm those who are hopping to chase relics or hopping to chase battles or hopping to harm some group that moments before were considered realm mates.


The second challenge that I have, even though most of my time is in one realm, my daughter plays a different realm than I play and when she is not on I use here account as a bot. She also uses my account as her bot when I am not on. This type of penalty/bonus would harm us both even though she plays one realm most of the time and I play one realm most of the time. (Yes, it is against the TOS but most families will share accounts between family members. . . it just happens)


MJ never had a challenge/problem screwing most everyone just to make a point to a few. I always disagreed with that philosophy. IMO there are options that target the groups/players that need to be targeted. I favor a more surgical solution.

I think its highly unlikely they are going to do any of what was suggested though, especially if it takes more programming work then changing the number that is assigned to how many nanoseconds before you can change realms. And even though it would take just 5 minutes to change the realm timer, they are not going to do this, for obvious reasons, and I say rightfully so, even though I play exclusively one realm.

Allow the status quo and watch the game die.


There can be no logic involved with this game it has been proven multiple times already.

I actually see a problem with being penalized for logging onto a different realm to pay rent even if I play the former realm

almost exclusively.

What a bunch of nobs ideas

OLD FRONTIERS>all

It is all you need for re-sub ppl and more coming

Also naked characters transfers from mordred/camlann can server get 4000 ppl on for sure

i think that allowing naked transfers from the pvp servers could probably be the best option for the least amount of work, if they were trying to get more subs.

As far as point 1 goes, no one would be getting penalized, you would be getting a bonus if you stayed on the same side. You wouldnt lose anything if you switched. I dont know if 20 or even 30% rp bonus would make me play the same side. If log into whichever side has the least amount of peeps on.

They should really put in significantly larger lock boxes. Let you pay for 3 or 6 months. It would help with this kind of issue if they did put in a loyalty bonus. Either that or the ability to set a character's personal money as the lock box and auto draw from their inventory instead.

still the best ideas ....


Old Frontiers + PVP Transfer FTW!!
