... - Wait times: Make one huge TDM playerpool from multiple serversl, either per player or per teams. This could decrease wait times alot.
- Team composition: With enough players queueing you could allow premade parties to join, on a separate queue though to not overpower the random parties.
- GUI: Ability to leave queue aswell as seeing the queue count while not queued would greatly improve usability
- Dynamic aviability: If you fear it hurts the core mechanics too much you could dynamically allow/disallow queueing depending on the realms situations. Im against regulating this too much though.
- Statistics: You could create great statistics, given you collect enough data, aiding you for future balancing when analyzing the state of the game on even numbers and a controlled environment. Also comparisons between differently designed maps could tell alot.
- CTF Balance: In CTF, disable the ability to be stealthed while carrying the flag. Maybe even in the zones around the flags. It happens alot that you dont have a hunter with reveal on your team.

very good summary, I totally agree with everything said here.

Give a cooldown period of one hour(example) for each player who has entered one instance and finished that cycle, so they don't ignore/interfere RvR.

I like the that, but it cannot be solved just like that. Here is why / my idea:
If we had individual cooldowns, instances could theoretically be ran at all times. Ppl would always try to find allies for an instance, of whom most can't because of their cooldown. There will be an endless struggle to get into instances, at least as long as they are not server-comprehensive.
On the other hand, if instance cooldown were global (e.g. every 2 hours), the fights would regularly start quite instantly without any greater delay. For example, you could say, that every two hours there is a server message like "Instance joining enabled for 5 minutes NOW". This might not be too bad, but it would definately pull large groups out of possible warzone battles.
As far as I can see, the best way to keep instances in Regnum permanently while not destroying WZ action, would be to have
> an
individual cooldown for every instance participant, but having the cooldown preferably to become effective for the whole
account AND making the instances run with participants from ALL servers, having the instances to be
server-comprehensive.
I really hope you got my point.
Besides, I personally wouldn't mind the missing, "promised" player statues if we could enjoy some instance action then and again. I doubt anyone would blame NGD for anything, considering the current situation.
If NGD planned on actually adding the statues or at least on introducing some instance ranking on their website, this could also be server-comprehensive, because if there was a cooldown for each player, RA would have no advantage fom their massive player base, but all servers would profit from each other.
