Shut down Realm Population Bonuses on Haven

It is fairly well balanced, but if Ignis and Syrtis keep getting Population Bonuses it will soon not be and that is my point: the scales are already tipping, it is time to stop the bonuses before they get out of balance, which is exactly what will happen if the bonuses continue for much longer. So be proactive and end them now.

Sure, but any newer players the realm bonus lures in won't be able to jump directly in the warzone anyway. And once the number of war-ready players exceeds that of other realms the bonus will be shifted. As it stands it's not really hurting any body.

The problem is Ignis has the numerical advantage ATM *and* has the highest bonus. This is why I am saying to eliminate the bonus now, let it stay gone for a few weeks then rerun the numbers and see if needs to be reapplied to some (any) Realm or not.

The reason is because your premise of the bonuses being 'automatically adjusted' is mistaken.

Is it?
Do you think, that NGD spends time to adjust the bonuses manualy on four servers?
Do you have any proof?
Do you have any proof that Alsius is underpopulated, apart from your "observation"?

As far as I'm concerned, the bonuses are automatically adjusted (probably on a weekly basis).
When Alsius will have less high-lvl active player than the other realm(s), the bonus will be given to them.
