Dont get the wrong i love the basis of this game and still enjoy it for the most part. But after pay Mythic for at least one account for 10 years. For them to come and say "oh woohoo 10 years guess what we are goin to do for you. we are goin to continue patching and breaking things like we have for the last 10 years." why even bother celebrate.
Not sure why but i am constantly amazed at the management or lack there of from EA/Mthic/Bioware or what ever the name is.

Please consider adding a realm loyalty bonus!! If a player is logged into one realm for over a week in a particular account,how aobut some sort of RP,BP,coin and XP bonus? How about rewarding those players who are solidly Hib,solidly alb or Solidly Mid?
Stupid idea. There is one server/cluster left. Yeah lets penalize the people that have made toons on 3 different realms in the 10 or so years this game has been out.
Lets force people to only play 1/3 of the game. How about if they charge 1/3 of the monthly cost of the game? $5 a month sounds fair if I am only getting 1/3 of the game.
It's not a penalty nor is it making only 1/3 the game accessible. It's rewarding those that don't realm hop. I think it's an awesome idea! Want the bonus, stick with one realm. Don't want the bonus...play when and where ya want. Choice is yours!
Am i just not getting my point across because some people get really piss and think i am somehow suggesting mythic kill the 5 minute timer?

I get the concept and I agree with you. I think it's an awesome idea.

It does not really matter how you want people to view the bonus/penalty, the human condition is what it is. I stated on a different thread that many players would look at such a bonus as a penalty and not an incentive (That is just a fact of the human condition).
As Stangkilla posted, many players have developed characters in all three realms and those players have been loyal (they are still here) and are not the cause of clustering yet this suggested change would limit their play or it would limit their RP gain which, if the player did play all their characters, would put the player lower in ranking on the holy and all worshiped RP stat listing. . . . lol. . . yea. . . right. . . .screwing with players RPs and putting the player lower on the stat listing based on the player wanting equal access to all their characters . . . yep, people will not consider a 'lower RP stat' a penalty at all. . .as if (not in this world).
Pissing off players when there are less harmful alternatives is exactly what MJ has done throughout his years of directing DAoC and MJ’s method of screwing with customers and screwing with the game has not been all that good for this game or WH.
There are alternatives that do not include screwing with a players RPs. As precious as some players consider their RPs it would be smarter for Bioware to use one of the alternatives that does not screw with a players RPs.
Some may openly announce their own lacking by boldly stating, “LET THEM QUIT†but any with half a brain would know that such a stance is so intensely lacking it is just sad . . .so lets not go there.

The problem alot of people are missing is...
NOT EVERYONE HOPS REALMS DUE TO RELICS/PRIDE
I hop around realms just cause of where/what I want to play.
Relics have nothing to do with it and nor does realm pride
I play mid cause I want to play my shaman, a class that hib nor alb has. Sure they have similar comparisons but neither has a shaman...
That is the logic you will never erase, therefore realm pride bonuses will never exist~

How is it not a penalty? You are giving someone that plays a certain way more gains then someone that plays a different way?
Lets say I solo kill someone and get 2,000rp's
Random toon XXX that gets this "loyalty bonus" gets 2,300rp's for the exact same kill
How am I NOT being penalized?
That is like saying with the recent Thanksgiving Day bonuses that only American's can get that bonus, and not Euro's or Canadians. I mean with your logic they are not being penalized.

How would this be a penalty? I never suggested that if you hop around realms you lose RP or somehow are penalized for it. The RP gains would be the same and the realm hop timer would be the same as well,there would be no penalty what so ever for a player who enjoys playing all three realms of his character. For these players RP and XP would be unchanged...
However what is unfair and a penalty to those who play only one realm and defend it come thick or thin, only to have to fight an ever shifting population of players who go fight in whatever realm has the biggest relic bonus advantage to have the biggest possible advantage. Why should players loyal to one realm no be rewarded because they dont hop on the bandwagon of the winning realm whenever it suits them

The whole loyalty thing is unfair because it doesn't really encompass the idea of clustering. What I mean is that someone may have been a loyal alb on Lancelot, a loyal hib on MLF, and a loyal mid on Galahad. Now, all of those characters which they played loyally to the realm they were on are now on the same server. That doesn't make them dirty realm hoppers, it's just the position they've been forced into by Mythic.

It's not a penalty at all.
Try not being a RP meth addict and foaming out of the mouth over 300 rps.
