Care about realm numbers - Horus

Rather than trying to control realm populations with XP bonuses and the like (which clearly doesn't work), more needs to be done in-game to make realm other than Syrtis more attractive. Some people love the sight of snow and mountains and they play in Alsius. Others like the harsh Ignian desert with it's giant worm thing ... probably people who had the patience to read Dune all the way through. lol. The thing is though, most people prefer the sun, the trees and the grass under their feet. So maybe some actual buildings, objects or areas that Syrtis doesn't have (or need) might help, for example:

* A giant botanical garden in Ignis, protected by glass or some sort of magical dome constucted by the mages.

* A huge ice castle in Alsius, C. S. Lewis-style, filled with some new creatures that give good drops.

These are just ideas... NGD are actually already working hard to make the other realms look better, but it needs to be taken a step further to make things even. People simply do not care enough about a very small XP bonus. If they like the look of something, they are going to choose it.
