So what's the reason for this to be just in Emain Macha? Everybody knows that hibs have the lowest population and yet you add a 25% bonus rps in hib land to make even more pressure on the realm. My guess is because of low population on the server this bonus will help people find fights in RvR by coming in just one small area where the bonus is. But as i said, this puts a lot of pressure on a low population realm like Hibernia.

Zzzzzz

Emain have for a long while been the place to go, when you seek action and theres not many people out. No matter what frontier zone they would had chosen the defending realm could come out complaining about traveling distance. Funny how you instead whine over getting action in your frontier when you have some of the strongest defense classes to protect those keeps.

oh.... and grabbing 6 relics yesterday and claiming underdog doesnt really go hand in hand, treehugger

Hibs had what? 4, maybe 5 groups incomplete groups on the relic run for the spear? after hours of albs not coming out to defend/retake their keeps? Albs had 3ish groups at the end, with many sub-50 defending. We did not get 6 because we are overpopulated, we got 6 because albs did not defend. Also, having 6 relics did not last 24 hours.

The night we took the spear we had 126/346 on (Alb night off?)
Right now we're back to 112/447...

I don't know, the others zones are empty enough, did we really need to force more people away from there into emain?

you got 6 cause of server settings. no way to defend, attack sth vs shrooms and bomber grps with 20%mage dmg.

You definitely don't know..
Think again on your phrase, and then think on the desired effect during those -dead- times..

You're welcome

That would make too much sense. Obviously the correct solution is take away bonus rps for anyone who can spec stealth, including minstrels. Yeaaa, that sounds good.

Thank you for the feedback.

I think i need to go in more detail why i think this is not helping.

When you bring all pvp in one zone, it is way easier for a dominant force to shut it down.

One realm usually have a full pug, killing all solo/smallman. When that happens, i switch zones.

But with the bonus people will log in, go to emain and getting ganked. So my chance to encouter other people outside of emain decreases and in emain i will get farmed.

Right now the bonus is a reason for me to NOT log in.

The idea to give a bonus to bring people into rvr instead of twinking is good, limit it to a single zone is not.

It is called a low pop bonus. But it is a emain bonus. I hate emain.

I understand that you don't like being farmed, or specifically emain panorama, but its required to find a middle-ground..

Giving the bonus to only one zone is for concentrate most of people there, in order to facilitate rvr by increasing the chance of finding enemies (attracted by the bonus).
You don't like emain? Ok.
Make the bonus zone change randomly, like emain today, hadrian tomorrow, and next day Odins.

Simple

Ps. Nobody forces anyone to rvr only there of course, it's just an extra push..

Seems backwards if the realm that has the most players get a bonus for killing the weaker realm.

If I read it correctly, it doesn't make sense to me either. If you are going to add a low-population bonus, it should go to the realm with the low population, and not to realms with high population. It makes me less likely to want to go there, knowing I will be farmed by the higher population even more.

During NA primetime, when the rp population bonus is the most active the zone is rarely utilized. Unless it is a realm taking dun crauchon for keep takes for df, relic raid or try to draw some action out.

Most rvr during NA primetime happens elsewhere than in emain, meaning where ever it can be made to happen. ie in hadrians wall or odins gate, for the same reason as listed for dun crauchon.
