NGD, please, PLEASE remove relic lock on Haven

Dear NGD,

If your intention was to kill all the fun during EU daytime, you fully succeeded at it. Server is virtually empty. No people online. No action. Nothing.

I don't know about other servers, but please reconsider removing relic lock on Haven.

Please don't remove relic lock.

making public numbers logged in and times could make it easier for everyone to see precisely when and if any sort of lock is worthwhile.

but this is risky because it can also act to harm the business. malicious parties can use the information.

also -- the server was extremely busy over the weekend in war. sometimes i feel there is a long quiet period after sessions of high activity. maybe that is what slarti saw?

They don't need to publish logged user count, we already know it - close to zero during EU daytime.

This is one of most failed decisions I ever heard of. Like having international worldwide web shop with working hours. Just silly.

I wonder if WoW and many other online games would succeed with nothing to do on it for 7 hours a day.

Haven is international server, with players from all time zones, so while this relic lock hardly affects some players, it kills the war completely for others. I've already met a few who can ONLY play during the time relic lock is on so they basically don't experience any war at all. Remove relic lock!

This weekend saw a 24 hour boost, that's why there was so much activity. The past few weekends before that, I seemed to notice that less people were on even during the busiest times. I'd like to see more boosts like last weekend, since it was so much more active, and I'm sure they sold more xim.

OT: I'd like to see relic lock removed as well. I play at different times, and it completely kills action on the server during the lock times. I agree with Lebeau, all the relic lock does it support the current zerg realm. At the time it was decided, Alsius was the strongest realm and it broke our zerg, now all it does is give one realm the opportunity to invade.

I don't approve the removal of relics, at least for the next six month
