Shut down Realm Population Bonuses on Haven

[Krungle]

It is time to disable low realm population bonuses on Haven. By my count the leading Realm in power as told by invasions/wishes is also the least populated; by NGD's count Alsius has the least number of active L60's. It is time to stop the population bonuses for awhile and let the realms settle out for several weeks to see how the population goes. Right now, by my observations in game, Alsius is the least populated Realm and is using skills to achieve victory over numbers.

Sure, there are off-times that Alsius does out number the other Realms but the numbers are less than what Alsius has online during primetime and during primetime either other realm outnumber Alsius significantly. I am not calling for Realm Bonus to be changed to the one realm that is outnumbered (Alsius) but instead it just be removed for awhile.

I don't know, where you got that information, but currently Syrtis has the 10% xp bonus, and Ignis has the 25% xp & 50% gold bonus. Therefore, Alsius is the most population active realm atm.

I don't know, when you "observe", but currently Alsius invades during times, when the other realms have only handful of people online. During the servers prime-times, the population of the three realms is quite decent. The other realms do not outnumber Alsius significantly.

Very interesting! Quick test, which number is greater 30, 10?

I kind of thought the realm population is the most balanced it has been in a long time. Several months ago Ignis only had a handful of players, but now they seem to be on par with Alsius and even Syrtis, which is good to see. There's no fun in capturing forts when there's 20 of you and only 5 come to defend it. There were times where we just walked away 20 minutes after capturing because there was just no challenge. If it wasn't for the server boost, Ignis probably wouldn't have grown. I don't know, but it seems to work.

Yeah, you're going to regret saying that. Good luck.

It is fairly well balanced, but if Ignis and Syrtis keep getting Population Bonuses it will soon not be and that is my point: the scales are already tipping, it is time to stop the bonuses before they get out of balance, which is exactly what will happen if the bonuses continue for much longer. So be proactive and end them now.

Sure, but any newer players the realm bonus lures in won't be able to jump directly in the warzone anyway. And once the number of war-ready players exceeds that of other realms the bonus will be shifted. As it stands it's not really hurting any body.
