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 is no correct time for relic lock on internation server which visits people from all time zones.

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.

I still don't understand why low server population should be criteria for relic lock. Why not one-realm overpopulation? Why not overpopulation in general?

Well, One-realm overpopulation is awkward to measure. Also, it's unfair to disable a feature when one realm has way more numbers. Set relic times is slightly less biased. Everyone knows when it will start and end etc..
As I said, the relic lock idea is a decent solution for the low-population problems. When there's enough players on the server, we won't need such feature. The timing sucks though, and there's nothing to do during relic lock time.
As it was stated by ngd, they will review the times, however, they're taking their time ^^
My idea is to enable instances to allow players to have some action during the period.

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.
