lel. Nice picture, but having a large population doesn't warrant hate.

almost accurate, but the chances of hating syrtis are at least 90%

Disable sytris while choosing realm

Do people honestly still think this could be a possible solution to the unbalanced population? Maybe towards multirealming, but not towards balancing the (over)population issues.

First of all, the influx of current players coming into the game is SUPER small. So you have to ask yourself, are 2-3 new players, let's say each month, going to cause a massive crisis in the population count for any specific realm? I don't think so.

Second of all, by the time those 2-3 new players reach around level 30, they realize there is nothing in this game for them. That is of course, if they don't spend huge amounts of ximerin on scrolls or boosters or lucky boxes. The grind is still (surprise) a big problem that lures players away from the game. The oh so funny achievement that tells you that you are half-way there at level 30 is a total scam, by the way. By calculation, technically, the half-way mark is around level 54/55. Thinking from the perspective of a fresh level 1, that makes me cringe.

Third of all, new players don't even get the help they need. I know this is complete shit for some people, because given the circumstances of leveling and playing in the past, many had to be on their own most of the time. But still, new players are asking questions and there's no one to give them answers. Either their questions get ignored by other experienced players, or when their question does get answered, those other experienced players often break into tense verbal conflicts on whose answer was better (i.e: penis length contests). New players would most genuinely prefer the help coming from GM's, which are gone now.

To sum it up, if anyone thinks that new players choosing a specific realm is going to hurt the balance between all three realms is greatly mistaken. Therefore a lock on any specific realm is totally unnecessary. New players can't even stay in this game past level 30 to begin with, so what makes people so sure that those new players joining the-current-zerging-realm are automatically ready to join the zerg? One could say that it's the multirealmers that are causing the population issues. Since they are experienced players, they know how to do certain things better and faster, they have more friends, so they can rely on them to give unwanted accounts, ximerin trades, then buy easy level-up scrolls, etc.

A realm lock is pointless now. However, not so long ago, I recall it was seen as quite a good option to stop the realm overpopulation. Perhaps it is not a big of an issue as I may think it to be. But I simply find it a meaningless argument.

Also, to agree with someone from the first page; I do believe disabling the relic lock on Haven would help with the problem to some extent.

These stupid zerglings still provide endless hours of fun for anyone who want it, it beats the hell out of an almost empty game as it felt like not so long ago.

Let it be known, they are of course the scum of the earth, the lowest form of life and disgusting zerg monkeys none the less.
