Care about realm numbers - Horus

Domino_ · 11-12-2009, 10:44 PM

Well I think that the time has come and this has to be written.
NGD should really care about what is going on ingame and not just work on the NG3D 2.0
I know you are working hard you always write it to us that you care, but in my eyes, there is something that needs to be done with that huge realm imbalance.
Maybe you havent notice, i dont really know that, but one realm has huge player base in compare with others.
You designed that +xp and +gold bonus which is not working properly or at all now.
So in the concern of all players i beg you to add something more.
What should it be? I dont really know, maybe some formula which calculate how many players from one and the other realm is at area (30m) and then add dmg (2% for each player over the equal number) to those realm players which are in less numbers.
This is just an idea.
But something is really needed

They care, Ignis has underopulation bonus

Halloween week, 80 goats on Ignis gate. Poor Alsius.

lol @ froste a lot of players who don't play regulary logged on in this week, same with ra

@ Froste
You cant take the halloween week seriously since these numbers dont appear at war regularly. (As i suppose then ignis had least numbers whole week or once you were in? )
I dont mean to start flaming but feel free to do it on your own -.-

Anyway there is a huge issue with the population of one realm, just keep being blind on that matter, but i surely wont be

Something is needed to be done....

Yes, Syrtis is underpopulated during the night crew's shift. We are now outnumbered by both Alsius and Ignis.

Yes, Domino is right. Alsius and Ignis (specially Ignis) are still underpopulated no matter the extra bonus. Many players start with Alsius or Ignis because of the bonus but after a while they change to Syrtis. Why? because Syrtis is green en nicer. Simple as that.

After the whiteness of Alsius -which in my opinion is a bit tired for the eyes- is a relieve the green Syrtis land. Besides the Alsius characters are not really nice to see; few people like to play with dwarves (too short) or with the utghars (ugly).

Ignis landscape with its reds deserts is not bad but still not as beautifull as Syrtis and the sand storms are a bit annoying. About Ignis characters only the Dark elves are somewhat ugly.

So, NGD could work on both landscapes and in the above named characters. I know it will not be easy but this is the key to get a balanced population.

Sorry, mistake, when I said specially Ignis I meant Alsius (really underpopulated)

LoveleHaven · 11-13-2009, 05:27 PM

You are not able to make alsius char if syrtis, and ignis has lower population? Something like that. I know alsius is not huge on numbers it was just an example.

UmarilsStillHere · 11-13-2009, 05:32 PM

To be very honest in my time of play often realm numbers seem pretty balanced to me, Syrtis may have more but they spend 80% of their time grinding alts or afking at Cs, its quite rare that all syrtis will show up and our numbers at a fort tend to start quite low (most of the time) and gradually build as the lazies decide to get off Cs and come fight, normaly once it gets to the point of us overrunning any enemy with ease I leave/log off.

No fun to just zerg people over and over.
