So I've seen a few threads about realm loyalty lately and some of them suggest it's needed to prevent hopping from relic losses. Why not add an incentive for relic losses then. If a realm loses one of its own relics, it gets a 5% rp bonus. So if you go to the realm with the captured relic, you get the 10% str/mag bonus, but if you go to the realm w/o a relic, you get a 5% rp bonus. if a realm loses both relics, it gets a 10% rp bonus.

rp bonus for losing a relic? lol, people would take relics just so they could lose them...

plus it makes no sense to give a bonus to the realm that lost a relic.

The new bg quests were the final nail in the coffin for this bro. If anything they should completely remove the realm timer so we can get on our alts in other realms faster.

A bonus for losing? That sounds as good an idea as paying bankers bonuses for losing all our money ....... oh wait .....

While it is an interesting idea, I think your suggestion would have players actively trying to give away their realms relics. RPs are excessively important to a very large majority of players and the bonus to RPs would far override any realm pride, or str/mag bonus, gained by having the relics.


What Mythic needs is a timer that is not so long it causes harm but long enough that it thwarts players who hop just to chase battles.

here's what I've suggested in the past, and would work great, if it was put in.

Realm switch. So, you played Alb, and now want to Play Mid or Hib. No problem..

The system checks to see the account that was accessed, and the realm. If said player
is switching from Alb to another, and its more than 30 minutes. All full login access
along with Full RvR capabilities.

So, If the switch was less than 30 mins. The person could still play the game, however
would be limited to PVE till their 30 minute timer is up.


Just my 2 cents.

I pay $15 each month to play the full game when I want.
