Multirealmers 4 Realmbalance
Just a simple idea:
We've got many multirealmers..use them to get a better realmbalance. Would be very easy to do by blocking the multirealmchars of the most populated realm. And it would be enough to block lvl45+ so lower chars could go on grinding. Perhaps in case of invasions while counter is running instead of switching to the strongest realm - perhaps all the time. (Who wants to be able to log on to his "mainrealm" all the time, would be able to do by deleting the multirealmchars at his second realm...). Realmbalance wouldn't be perfect - but the factor of the multirealmaccounts, that was making it becomes worse would work in the right direction. Code:
procedure 'most_populated_realm'; values: yes/no if "no" = do nothing if "yes" = do 'lvl_checkup' procedure 'lvl_checkup'; values: yes/no if < lvl45 = do nothing if =lvl45 or higher = do 'multirealmacc_checkup' procedure 'multirealmacc_checkup'; values: yes/no if "no" = do nothing if "yes" = block character show message "Realmbalanceblock: You cant log to this realm atm. Please try again later" PS: An own thread now to finally get an answer. Can't be that difficult, NGD. Last edited by erttzzadfk; 09-27-2012 at 11:36 AM. |

If you've got chars at two realms you've got a multirealmaccount = 2 realms. Nothing else is needed...value 1 or 2. Believe me, it's really simple to realize. |

And what if this player has spent money on both characters? It would be unethical to take away something that someone has already paid for.
Sure block new accounts from joining a certain realm, but taking away something that is already existing seems a bit wrong to me. Unless I'm misunderstanding your suggestion, in which case ignore what I just said. |

Your suggestion is not bad. But you have to consider that there are many multirealmers who have more than 1 account to play this game. So should NGD disadvantage the "honest" multirealmers with only 1 account?
But I think there are more viable ways to get better realm balance. NGD could offer a realm change scroll to the players of the most overpopulated realm. Or a registration lock for new players to the most overpopulated realm would help in the longterm. The registration lock wouldn't be a very responsive solution though. well NGD could just combine some approaches of above for perfect realm balance:

If someone wants to play multirealm style, they won't exactly tell NGD that they have two accounts, and if they play one realm they can pretend like it's their only account. If they play the other realm, they can pretend like it's their only account. My question is how NGD figures this out.

I guess that more than 50% of the chars above level 45 are multirealm accounts ( = 1 account with characters in 2 realms) there so great part of a realm can switch at once to another realm. |

I guess he is reffering even more to the much more then 10 players which played different realms in Niflheim and Muspell on one account
