Nohan, he is speaking about ONE account with characters in different realms and not about different accounts

Horrible coding ever

Multi-realming is just overrated
I am not a multirealmer and i will never be one ,alsius forever ,i am frustrated about some build-in featurea of game that imbalance realms ,but never multi realming ,is not one of them

I really don't know if attacking multi realming is a solution at all.

The assumption is that players move from one realm to another but then, if the problem is chronic under-population, would moving these weak numbers around really fix anything ?

Balance on a half or 1/4 subscribed server is the real problem.

Let us dig around in the roots of this thing. What is the cause of multi realming ? I believe that there are a few reasons. The biggest one is lack of compelling content. The second is that there is no continual up-sweep of personal rewards for remaining loyal to a realm. Lastly, though many may dispute, the XP curve to top level is not really that bad. What makes it look bad is the appalling lack of content from 42-60. Still, many have multiple level 60 characters and still go on to raise others elsewhere.

To avoid rehashing, read my ramblings here : http://www.regnumonlinegame.com/foru...8&postcount=18

TL;DR : To avoid multirealming and weak server population, you need compelling content and reward for loyalty and longevity to your realm.
Punitive actions never work and only compel populations to fall. A bad thing any way you look at it.

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

I'm not talking about multiaccs (forbidden).
I'm talking about multirealmaccounts, so i don't need an ip-checkup. ALL your chars are saved to ONE gameaccount in a database.

And remember if you block only 5 players you will do 10 steps to a better realmbalance.
Example:
realm1 (overpopulated) = 20 players
realm2 (underpopulated) = 5 players

block 5 players of realm1 = 10 vs. 10...

PS:
I made chars at horus just 1 day before the fusion to have the possibility of using a multirealmaccount there.
Do you really think i was the only one who had this idea and it's just a nifl/musp- aka valhalla-problem?^^
And it's not an attack to multirealmaccounts - it's just to make them work for the game instead of working against a balanced RVR.
PPS: I'll give every player who understands what i mean 10 Magnas (when it's possible again) and to every developer xims for 1 horse

None is talking about the IP check & rules ?

[erttzzadfk]

I'm not sure but i think i cant give you 10 magnas for your post and it seems i dont have to buy a horse too...
(I know how to edit a post too..)

Here we go:

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.

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"

Edit: (Caused by some really smart posts here):
"Dear NGD, you can't use this "'code"' 1:1; it's just a logical sketchup to show how simple to do."

Hard to imagine someone could be able to code it...

PS: An own thread now to finally get an answer. Can't be that difficult, NGD.

In that case, the solution may not be as effective as I thought it would be.

[erttzzadfk]

This forum here is a joke too
Whatever, i'll go on hunting with my conj instead doing healsetup and stay away from this RvR-Bullshit.
Hope i'll meet some of you dumbos alone out there.

Thanks to NGD for posting developer's opinion here...great job.
