There's so much talk going on about the lack of realm pride and realm hopping. How easy it's become to log in to the game and find out that Albion has the relics, or Midgard is raging a campaign making the frontiers blue. Simply log out, grab a drink and log back in to the realm that has the upper hand at the moment.

It wasn't always that easy. Once upon a time, if you had Hibs on Kay, you had to have Hibs on Iseult and Lancelot. If you wanted to play Albion or Midgard, it had to be on a different cluster. When it changed, they had realm timers. You had to wait a length of time before switching out to an opposing realm. Now, the timers have been downgraded so it takes you longer to walk in to your kitchen to pour a drink than it does to switch realms. Cross realming, realm hopping and even realm point power leveling have become common place.

So what do you think, is there a viable way to bring back realm pride, and how would it improve the game?

Topic of the Week would love to hear your thoughts on realm pride!

Hey, I'm looking for some topic ideas. If you have any you'd like to see posted, please drop me a line!

Realm pride on a Co-op server? Eh?

Why would you post this here?

Everyone that plays here doesn't play here exclusively. Topic of the Week gets posted to all 4 boards regardless of the topic.

I think you'd have to start by bringing back players.

Please show me the forum rule that says someone must play the game to post here. Otherwise, stfu.

Ah okay, it's similar to the bot that posts topics on the WoW forum, just from you instead of a bot. My bad, wasn't aware of that.

Also to be fair i think everyone takes some realm bias with them to Gaheris, I know i do. I lean heavily toward alb classes

Really? I played Mid/Guin back before Gaheris and when I moved here I left all my realm bias behind.

Quaz the bot only posts to the general board. We have to post to the others since a lot of people don't read the main board.

And I tend to stick with Hibs...kinda funny how that works out
