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!

+1.
Relic block is set to incorrect time. It should start earlier, finish earlier.
I would like to see at least instances (TDM&CTF) to be enabled during relic lock, so there'd be at least something to do..

There are times, when the server is low on population. This was so even before the relic block. Simply, european mornings are a downtime. I have nothing against relic block during those times.

The current relic lock timeframe grossly affects only ONE realm's chances to grab relics & successfully invade & that is patently unfair. The current zerg realm on Haven gets to invade at will when it's peak numbers in relation to the other two realms is online & they can zerg-steamroll the server. The relic lock timeframe WAS fair 6+ months ago when a different realm was the strongest then.

Things are different now, so the specific timeframe STILL in use is blatantly UNfair & doesn't apply now as it is CREATING imbalance ffs, not the opposite. The timeframe of the relic lock should reflect this reality on the server, & be moved from 10am-5pm GMT to perhaps 5am-12pm GMT. Better yet, simply cut off relic locks period, quit discouraging RvR, & leave this bad-idea turned OFF permanently.
